Abstract:

Hi! My name is Sandhya and I am an alumnus of CES. I passed out in 2013, and I transitioned into a career in popular science.
In this talk, I will wander through my career trajectory from academia to science writing, a detour into entrepreneurship and onto my current role as Programme Manager for
Mongabay-India. It all may look neat when summed up in one line, but I will share the questions and doubts that were an integral part of this journey. It will not be all
about me though -- I will entertain questions throughout and try to put across larger themes that everyone can take home and adapt to their individual journeys.
