The Life of Science
Location: India
The Life of Science is a “lab hopping” interview project that profiles and celebrates the work of Indian women scientists. The project was started by freelance science writers Aashima Freidog and Nandita Jayaraj, and includes comics, podcasts, photo essays and articles. In 2019, they also published their illustrated book 31 Fantastic Adventures in Science: Women Scientists of India, about contemporary Indian women scientists.
