On the anvil of the release of the book, it feels surreal.

In March 2025, I moved on from a full time role - what I had often described as my dream job - to write this book. 📘

The decision involved me accepting a truth I had never heard of before - 'that you can also outgrow a dream job'. This led to me acknowledging other realities in my science career.

That you can start a PhD at 29.
You can have a fulfilling career after returning to your home country.
That I had made professional decisions with my personal life placed right in the crux of it all.

I thought the 'the real deal' about a life and career as a woman in science needs to be out there. 👇#TheRealDealinSTEM

What can you expect at #SJAIConference2025?
This year’s theme — Science Solutions Journalism in a Fragmented World — asks a big question: how can science reporting rebuild trust, highlight what’s working, & give citizens the tools to understand the science shaping their lives?

What an inspiring journey!!

[K. VijayRaghavan @kvijayraghavan]

Professor Padmanabhan Babu has—in his quiet and understated manner—had an important impact on developmental biology, only one aspect of which was the isolation of the lin-4 mutant allele (e912), highlighted below in the post by Richard Behringer @rrbehringer and the Society of Developmental Biology. Moving from theoretical physics to developmental genetics, his contributions ranged from studies on the roundworm C. elegans and the fly Drosophila melanogaster. Then, abruptly setting aside his academic interests, he started the first company in India making restriction enzymes and polymerases, seeding the growth of the biotech industry and making these reagents available widely in India. He then made another leap, starting a company to manufacture lactose-free milk.

Out now! Our very first paper from the lab, an impressive feat by @tobyandrews
where we show how a developing heart grows and scales up its morphological complexity to keep beating...an excellent summary below ⬇️ https://t.co/9w97Fw1BK6...

Looking for a graphic illustrator for the book. It is a book for girl scientists - part memoir, part reportage. 📘👩🏽‍🔬

The work will require regular communication of ideas and styles with me, and delivery of illustrations within a fixed timeline of 6 weeks.

Other details, such as remuneration and credit, can be discussed.

Please DM me if interested. We can take it from there!
