Greetings! I am a biologist during the day, and a biscuit connoisseur by night. I am broadly interested in how animals manage their daily life, which integrates behavioral ecology, and neuroethology. I am pursuing my Master’s in Environmental Science from National Forensic Sciences University, Gandhinagar, Gujarat. I originally hail from the "City of Joy"- Kolkata. I love communicating my science and beyond. I will strive to drive people to observe nature as a tapestry of art and open their minds through observation and rationale. I am certain that science is not defined by boundaries, and definitely not limited by a degree. By integrating local communities, and children as observers, doers, and conveyers, we can effectively solve problems in animal biology, biodiversity conservation, and the environment. I will try to be an effective communicator here. I often wonder what “democratization of science” means, as it can be a different debate altogether. I perceive nature as a kaleidoscope, rewriting stories of weak and imbecile. It necessitates our life, a home that should be protected and revered. I am ready to grow the clan. Join me, in making this community a “nature lover” in the true sense and not restricted only to social media handles.
