She trained as a wildlife biologist and has a Master’s in Wildlife Biology and Conservation from the National Centre for Biological Sciences, Bengaluru. She switched to a career in science writing, trading being chased by elephants in the jungles to hopping labs in search of interesting science stories. She also has a Master’s degree in Science Communication from Imperial College London, UK. For her dissertation she looked at the portrayal of women scientists in Indian print media. The opportunity to interact with new people and learn new things is what she likes best about being a science writer.
