Tejaswini Petkar

Editor, Writer

I am a post graduate in Microbiology with additional background in botany and biochemistry. My scientific interest lies in interdisciplinary biology, with my primary interest lying in microbial studies. I am a keen explorer and researcher with a curious disposition. I love reading – be it science or of any genre, and like any long- time reader, I am currently expanding my horizons to writing and editing. I aim to provide a glimpse of the fascinating world of microbes with new perspectives through my work in science communication.
