Subhra Priyadarshini joined Nature India after a decade-long stint with mainstream Indian media. She took to writing science when in journalism school. Though she chased deadlines to cover politics and sports, fashion and films, crime and natural disasters as a journalist, she kept coming back to her first love — science. Subhra has a bachelor’s degree in zoology. She dabbled in law after majoring in Personnel Management and Industrial Relations from Utkal University, Bhubaneswar, India. A post graduate from the Indian Institute of Mass Communication, she also studied print journalism at the University of Westminster, London. She was a correspondent with major Indian dailies The Times of India, The Indian Express, The Asian Age, The Telegraph, news agency Press Trust of India and Down To Earth magazine. Nature India is her first online venture.
