A scientist-turned-science policy researcher, I am currently working at the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India - Centre for Policy Research, Indian Institute of Sciences. I am currently working on health policies focusing on maternal and child health and the engagement of scientists in the science-policy process. Additionally, my area of interest is representation and visibility in STEM and medical sciences. I have been working actively and write about women and inclusivity in STEM. Currently, I am also associated with Women Global Health- India chapter and work towards the representation of women in leadership positions in medical sciences.
