Science Writing and Art


Writing & Editing

I love reporting on and writing about science for non-scientists (find my writing here).

I have also worked as a freelance editor for Cactus Communications making biomedical research manuscripts from non-English speaking researchers publication-ready for international journals.

I was the lead editor of the 2012 issue of Manthan, a student-run magazine at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, where I planned content, solicited, wrote and edited articles, and did the entire layout design for the magazine.
 

Sci-Art

I try to maintain a science art practice as a beginner, and I try to post regularly here. Check out the Guild of Natural Science Illustrators, which has a fantastic community. Here is some of my work.
Stylized swallow mother and her chicks
Fruit fly. Mixed media.
My pet jumping spider, Gandhi. Digital oil.
Fruit fly and parasitoid wasp (repoted in Moore et al 2024 Nature) in a Gond-inspired style
