Through mentorship and scientific outreach initiatives with a commitment to JEDI principles, I strive to counter systemic biases and empower underrepresented and minoritized communities. Outside the lab, I am a science journalist for TheWire.in Science and an avid science communicator - routinely delivering scientific talks to students in my home country, India. Female role models have inspired me from childhood. Thus, I am passionate about mentoring women and girls in STEM and enabling them to become the next generation of leaders, through various organizations – AWIS, BioSci Connect, etc. As SURPAS Events Coordinator, I promote events that foster inclusion and belonging, such as the Science is Elementary mentorship program.
