In May 2023, I was proud to be invited as a panelist at the New York Hall of Science at its STEM Career Expo on "The arts in STEM matters". I talked about my unique journey in the arts and the sciences to youth, parents, and teachers. Below are a few images from the event: 

In collaboration with The Experimentalist, I offered a workshop on the ideas proposed in Vichaar. The session was interactive throughout and was for scientists, artists, enthusiasts, and all curious folks. We had some very interesting and insightful discussions; a few are below: 

• How does dance facilitate muscle memory and its impact?
• How does creativity play a role in science and dance?  
• Do you have any idea about learning music/ pursuing music at a young age, especially in children increases brain functionality and memory?
• Do you think artistic practices should be encouraged more for those working in the sciences? 
• Might movements are culturally associated?
• The concept of creativity and age and the field of positive aging or creative aging. 

You can find the video recording of the session here: 

What fuels a multi-passionate life? In the Ampersand Manifesto, Jessica Wan interviews “the most interesting people at the dinner party,” who for decades have led double lives and straddle two completely different worlds, such as science & music, technology & art, medicine & dance. I was honored to be interviewed by Jessica and here is the podcast interview. Below are a few images with some quotes. 

It was such a pleasure talking to folks at Finding Humans in Tech about my journey in #dance and #neuroscience from #Ahmedabad to #NYC. This interview gave me an opportunity to reflect and thank so many people who have taken the time to guide and nurture me.
