Mentorship and Talks (and interviews)

Mentorship

In a formal mentorship opportunity, I worked with two aspiring sci-communicators from IISER Pune, Harsh Rathod and Vidisha Hate. They explored what people on their campus' perception, and worked for dog-human conflict. You can locate their work here. I worked with them to build their narrative and nudged them to an iterative scripting process.

Talks

I have enjoyed the privilege of sharing my journey and sharing tips on beginning and advancing a career in science communication and science illustration at multiple outlets. 

At the City Scripts festival hosted by IIHS, Bangalore, I participated in a panel conversation In this conversation with fellow science communicators, I advocated for conversations on science, and the performance of science in public spaces, instead of inviting the public to otherwise gated spaces like institutions.

At TEDx event at NIT, Allahabad, I shared ideas around drawing in science based review and my own practice. Watch here.

At ASET forum bt TIFR Mumbai, I elaborate more on how drawing has had a relationship with sicence. Watch here.

At a festival at NGMA Bangalore, I shared how drawing of a cell can change what we understand, what we remember and what we ask of it. Glimpse here.

At 43rd IACR conference at IISER Pune, I shared how my work has moved from image making to storytelling and public engagement.
