Independent Science Journalist and Documentary Photographer | Co-Founder: Insight Walk | Forbes 30 under 30
Honored and thrilled to announce that I’ve been selected as a winner of the prestigious National Academies Eric and Wendy Schmidt Awards for Excellence in Science Communication (SciComm Excellence) This marks my 26th Journalism award. I investigated how air pollution affects India’s traditional craftspeople, how it’s silently leading to osteoporosis, and how it’s worsening malnutrition. You can read more here: https://lnkd.in/de94fj9a This award affirms my passion for making science accessible, ensuring it is not confined to academia but reaches the remotest corners. This recognition amplifies the voices of communities whose struggles often remain overlooked and strengthens my resolve to continue uncovering these truths and connecting science with the lived realities. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who trusted me with their stories and to the communities whose voices inspire my work every day.

I’m thrilled to celebrate this year’s Eric and Wendy Schmidt Awards for Excellence in Science Communications by the The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and Schmidt Sciences. Twenty-four brilliant researchers, journalists, storytellers, and creatives have been recognised for their extraordinary ability to connect science with society — to make knowledge not only accessible, but meaningful. Their work reminds us that science communication is essential to democracy: it nurtures trust, curiosity, and a shared sense of purpose in a world that needs both facts and hope. It’s been an honour to contribute to the Jury’s work and to witness such inspiring examples of how storytelling and creativity can expand the space where science and society meet. Congratulations to all the winners — your voices are vital. 🌍✨

I’m honored and excited to have my work included here. It's a hard time to be a freelance science journalist, and yet the stakes couldn’t be higher. My hope is always to explain how science impacts people's daily realities. As the federal government turns its focus to the West, I'm deeply committed to reporting on what that means for the people who live here. Feeling so inspired by the work recognized here:
