I am a Research scholar in the School of Biological Sciences, Madurai Kamaraj University, working on plant invasion and its impacts at an ecosystem level. I intend to study biological system as a functional entity in totality.I am interested in literature, philosophy, and performing arts like dance and music. I believe any form of knowledge, either arts or science, is for human excellence. Science being technical at times, it has to be lineated for the common people and this inspired me to be a science writer.
