Big thanks to pintofscienceIN for letting me host last Tuesday & to Rohini Nilekani Centre for Brain and Mind-NIMHANS for letting me live my dreams!

Anushka Banerjee and Kadambari Patil presented CBM-NIMHANS' #sciencecommunication work at #PCST2025 this week, throwing light on how we create accessible and engaging public engagement events & include people with lived experience as part of these efforts.
