Bio-tales: Narrating research Journeys
Supported by the 5th IndiaBioscience Outreach Grant, this project seeks to document and curate research experiences of early career biologists (with a focus on doctoral and postdoctoral researchers). Through a series of Workshops, starting September 2024, the investigators are co-creating resources with early career biologists that documents their experiences of doing research employing creative writing and art, with a view to creating an online repository of such experiences.
The first workshop was conducted on September 28 and 29th, 2024.
In the workshop, a series of activities were organized, involving reading, writing, discussions, and making art. Structured activities were organized to support participants’ reflections on their research journeys. Participants shared a range of experiences and emotions that they associate with research bringing out the unique ways in which they engage and think about the science that they do.
