Science, Health, Environment
Stories rooted in people.

Reporting from India.
Reaching readers worldwide.

I’m a freelance journalist based in Madurai, South India, with more than twenty years of reporting experience. My work explores science, climate change, environmental policy, health, human rights and culture.

My reporting has appeared in The New York Times, NPR, BBC, The Guardian, BMJ, bioGraphic, Hakai Magazine, Al Jazeera, Bloomberg and the South China Morning Post, among others.

I have contributed to Lonely Planet’s You Only Live Once and Atlas Obscura: Wild Life, and mentored early-career science journalists through The Open Notebook’s Sharon Dunwoody Mentoring Program.
