Medical editor with focus on Neuroscience and Neurology | Science writer and communicator

Profile Summary

I am a published neuroscientist with collaborative research work appearing in journals like Oxford Academic's Cerebral Cortex and BMJ's Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Neuropsychiatry. I also have an equal penchant to communicate science for the general audience. In this vein, I hold experience as a senior-sub editor and science writer with The Wire Science, India's only news agency with a dedicated platform for science news. My work has also been published in science magazines like Nature India. Currently, I edit academic manuscripts to make them publication ready.
