Join me on Thursday, August 3rd, 2023 at noon EST as we kickstart the Summer Skill Sessions as part of the Emerging Women Leaders in Global Health Network (EDGE). I will be talking about using the arts for conflict resolution and how these skills may be used to hone our leadership capabilities.

Arts Ignite is an organization that "supports young people in discovering the joy and power of making art—to share their voices, tell their stories, and transform their lives."  I developed a video workshop for Arts Ignite NOW! where I explored Bharatanatyam & Proprioception! The video can be found below:

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.
