Welcome to Exploretic!

A place where thoughts are spilled over tea, science fact will reign over science fiction and where explorations of people, places and things will inform, evoke and enlighten. 

With a background in science, I am dedicated to communicating science to different audiences to help them understand science in an accessible, relatable and meaningful manner.

I also have an interest in exploring the intersection between health & science, sociopolitical issues and the world’s cultures and geographies. 

I have a PhD in medical science from the University of Toronto where I specialized in cancer biology/oncology and cell and molecular biology. 

With a Canadian birth certificate and Pakistani blood, I love being able to bring together aspects of both cultures and build an identity that is uniquely me. 

In addition to my love for exploring the world’s science, nature and cultures, I like to think, write and speak — hopefully in that order.
