A modern-day 'Renaissance Girl'; Inspired by the idea of 'Renaissance Men' in the 17th century who excelled in a multidisciplinary fashion, I am a polymath with a deep passion for Astrophysics. Some of my key interests include:
Physics
Technology
Environmental conservation
Development Economics
My favourite books:
'Invisible Women' by Caroline Criado-Perez on how design and technology assume man as the average human, disenfranchising women as a result.
'Factfulness' by Hans Rosling on how the world over the long-term is becoming a better place despite all the doomscrolling and negativity that we encounter on a daily basis
'All the Light We Cannot See' by Anthony Doerr as a historical fiction on World War 2 through the life of a blind girl illustrating the brutality of war through multiple characterizations
