Arya Agarwaal is a biochemical engineer by training, a science communicator by passion, and a DeSci community builder by conviction. Her research journey has taken her from India to Sweden and Switzerland. She is fascinated by the ways science can be made more open, collaborative, and accessible; not just through technology, but through the stories we tell and the communities we build. Through science communication and her association with DeSci India, she hopes to bring researchers, technologists, and curious minds together to rethink how science is funded, shared, and experienced.
