The 'invisible' women of Indian science

The Life of Science thelifeofscience.com/ is a feminist research and media project by two science reporters on a mission to tell the stories of the 'invisible'
women of Indian research. Two of us, Aashima Dogra and Nandita Jayaraj, began this journey last February and we've been dedicated to this since. We
are hoping our stories will shed more definitive light on the much-discussed issue of women dropping out of their academic careers every year. We've been doing this using our own funds so far though recently we got some travel support from a crowdfunding campaign. Once we acquire some
form of financial support for us and this project, we will start work on a book based on our experiences and findings. We also have some other plans
to make our stories more accessible to children and other members of the community which I will be happy to talk to you about. This is just a short session to tell you more about this project and opefully hear your thoughts and ideas on it.
