My Journey As A Science Writer
More than a decade ago, I embarked on a career of science writing.
During my tenure of science writing,
I have written articles on astrophysics that
provided insights into our shadowy past and how stars and
planets popped into existence after a fiery beginning of the
Universe known as Big Bang.
Besides, I penned stories
on palaeontology,
archaeology,
and anthropology,
which unveiled how life originated and evolved on earth that
revolves around a negligible star called sun and how humans evovled
and conquered the globe.
While writing on nanotechnology,
artificial
intelligence, and electronics,
I let readers know how with sheer intelligence humans went on
to spawn the astonishing fields of technologies that tinker with
matters at the molecular and atomic levels.
Technological progress has led to mindless development. It has
left its indelible stamp on environment. I highlighted this aspect
while I covered issues on environment.
Along
with tremendous progress in technology, humans' relentless battle
with lethal diseases continues. I have uncovered this aspect while I
covered diseases like Alzheimer's
disease, tuberculosis,
malaria,
cancer,
speech
disorder and various other diseases including mental
illnesses.
All my articles appeared in the weekly
science and technology section of Indian online edition of Nature
and leading Indian newspapers like
'The Telegraph' and 'The Statesman' and Magazine like 'Down To
Earth' and leading website like SciDev.Net. I also wrote scripts for
documentary films of CSIR, India. Also wrote science scripts for All
India Radio, Kolkata. My articles also appeared in 'Lit.org', a
website has been online for six years.
