About me

Hi, I’m Rupesh!

I’m the founder, writer and editor of TalkPlant.

I don’t make any money from writing here, but I do spend countless hours working on my pieces, so I must enjoy it, right? Well, yes!

I created TalkPlant because I love science and writing these blogs. But I equally enjoy making science accessible and engaging with my audience — yes, you, my dear reader!

I’m a full-time policymaker at UK Research and Innovation. My background is in biochemistry, cell biology and plant science. Despite spending 12 years in academia, in my current job, I don’t use any of the science that I learnt during my time as a scientist.

Writing blogs here also helps me stay up-to-date in the latest developments in the world of science and technology. I also frequently write about my experiences in academia, sharing what I learnt with the aim that early-career researchers, especially PhD students, can learn from my experiences.

Thank you for reading my blogs. Your support is what keeps this blog alive. I hope that you keep on reading so that I can continue to bring new contents to you.

If you like my writing or have any suggestions, feel free to send any feedback to TalkPlant@outlook.com, and I’ll try to respond. For other queries or media contact, please email me at TalkPlant@outlook.com

I’m a science blogger, formerly a researcher. I write about the latest science topics in simple, accessible language. I also write about my experiences in academia, hoping that it will inform my readers more about choices inside and outside academia. My interests include science, and policy affecting research and innovation.

In addition to my primary interests, I occasionally explore how technology intersects with daily life, especially in areas not directly related to my field. For instance, the 1Win APK is a mobile application that enhances online gaming experiences by offering a variety of games and betting options. This app allows users to easily access and play games from their smartphones, illustrating the convergence of technology and leisure. It's a great example of how digital tools can bring new dimensions to entertainment, even for those of us deeply entrenched in the sciences.

So make sure you keep on visiting to be up to date on exciting science findings and how technology is continuously reshaping our world.
