The book "Finding Humans in Tech" is now publicly available! 

In spring of 2023, I had the pleasure of talking to 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. A short video can be seen here, and the full interview is linked here. The book series is now on Amazon: Finding Humans in Tech Series II. 
Proceeds from the book will go towards the social venture Techlit Africa, an organization that promotes digital literacy in the African continent.

The book “Unity in Diversity: Parallels between Humans and Non-human Animals” is out! 

Dr. Rohini B. Ramanathan's book "Unity in Diversity" gave me a rare chance to combine my love for the brain, animals, and words!
This book is now published and can be found here as an ePub; contact me to get access to this incredible book of poems, thoughts, and musings on the connection between humans and animals. It was such an honor to provide animal hastas for the beautiful cover page and a scientific perspective on the connection between animals and humans. 
[Dr. Ramanathan is the founder-director of The Alchemists,  a Long Island-based music and literary platform.]

My article "Communicating Science through Bharatanatyam Dance" is now published in BMJ Medical Humanities blog!

My article on communicating science through Bharatanatyam is now published in BMJ Medical Humanities Blog!

I talk about Vichaar and my recent performance at City College, describe how Bharatanatyam could help us understand how our brains enable symbols, emotions, music, and rhythm. I also describe the series “Creatures on the Move” and that together, Bharatanatyam and neuroscience can open us to the diversity, grandeur, and the magnificence of the natural world.
Many thanks to Janina Levin for her patience editing and proofreading the article.
