About

I have had a keen interest in biology since high school, maybe because I could discuss my health problems whenever I went to see my doctor. I hadn’t started reading about discoveries in science until I came to know that Rosalind Franklin was not awarded the Nobel Prize for discovering the structure of DNA. Reading about such discoveries opened new avenues for me to explore and brought me into research.
