THE LIFE AND TIMES OF KAMALA BHAGVAT SOHONIE - THE UNSUNG HERO OF SCIENCE IN INDIA. Published article

The second of my articles for RESONANCE.

Kamala Sohonie battled gender-based prejudice to gain entry into India’s premier research institution. She went on to have a dazzling career while working with the world’s foremost biochemists at Cambridge and later became one of India’s premier scientists. Her research immensely contributed to the discipline of Nutrition and Dietetics. A socially-committed individual, her scientific projects tried to be in sync with the needs of her country. In this article, we present facets of her colourful life – her passions, struggles and ideals.

this is an inspiring tale, and I am so glad I chronicled it. Hugely grateful to Prof. Sohonie's son and daughter-in-law for their support.

THE POWER OF SMALL - CHAMPIONING THE UNDERDOGS OF MODERN MEDICINE. Published article


 Now, once i made the blog,  I got to post something as a starter. So,  I thought of this. One of my early articles and the first one written for the IAS science magazine RESONANCE . Suvasini and I zeroed on this idea independently, and then just loved loved the researching for it.
Hope you find it informative and enjoyable too.


Abstract
 If you had been born at the end of the 18th century, you would likely not have lived to celebrate your 40th birthday! What do you think made our present-day long lives possible? In this article, we aim to highlight the importance of the small, oftignored inventions in the area of medical science that have had a big impact on our lives and in the world around us and yet remain under-appreciated and even unacknowledged.
