About me

Hi, I’m Sheetal Potdar, a scientist by training and a storyteller at heart. I am driven by curiosity, from asking thought-provoking questions to following unexpected rabbit holes to better understand the world around us.

I’m interested in telling stories of scientific discoveries and how they impact human society. How does science shape the world, and how can it improve our lives? My blog page is my way of sharing those stories and encouraging people to use scientific principles in their daily lives.

I earned a PhD in neuroscience at JNCASR, Bangalore, and studied the neurobiology of aggressive behavior as a postdoctoral researcher at the Salk Institute, San Diego. I now work as a science content strategist for Diverge Communications.

As a science writer, I’m dedicated to sharing the wonders of science with anyone curious enough to listen (or read).

When I’m not writing or exploring research, I’m learning Hindustani classical music, running, or enjoying watching sports. 

Let’s collectively explore ways to include science in our everyday lives.
