The beginning of "The Resilient Researcher"

Here’s a blog for the ones who aim at exploring the ‘Science of Life’

With all the things we’re surrounded by, be it living or non - living, the curiosity to learn and explore the unknown is never ending. I am an aspiring researcher in the field of Biological sciences, here to share my research journey. Being fond of breaking stereotypes as a #WomanInSTEM and living my life at its best, I am here to express my ‘sciency life’ in the form of this blog.

If you’re looking for something simple yet enthralling, I bet you’re at the right place. Together, let's explore science by diving into its enchanting magical logic...Let's get sciencing !

As you wonder what my life is about, let me tell you my story. It began, at the age of 8. While playing, I got 2 bruises on my knee. One bruise was an internal injury, whereas the other was an external, superficially scaled one due to fall from a swing. Despite the pain the bruises had brought me, what made me wonder more was the difference between the two injuries. The thought of how one impact results in two different feelings was what had all my attention. For the ones who are wondering if I was concerned about the bruises or the reason behind their differences, you will get your answer at the end of this article.

Being an only child for about 6 years, it was me living my life happily questioning everything around me. Apparently, I was a very pensive child. My habit of thinking about something and ending up overthinking about it traces to ancient times :P

My journey with science began the moment I fell off the swing at the age of 8. Questioning my parents about the difference between the bruises I had got due to the fall was what intrigued me to learn about the Human body. Learning biology and every field related to science followed right after it…

Usually when a child falls, he cries, becomes fearful of the things that made him cry and eventually heals. But as a child, although I cried after falling off the swing, I ended up being in love with science.

All the tiny mistakes or falls I have taken since my childhood have made me who I am today. And that's what my dear friends, describes my blog.

I have fallen, got back right up, wondered about the fall, overcame it and ended up being overwhelmed with ‘Science of life.’

The Resilient Researcher blog is all about sharing my love for science, sharing my journey and inspiring individuals for the ‘Science of Life.’

Let's get overwhelmed with the wave of science...

“I am a researcher. Resilient in my middle name.”
