From Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India, Upasana is a molecular-biologist-turned-science-writer with a background in Biotechnology. She is now a Senior Content Associate at Garden Up, an Indian-based home gardening site with over one million subscribers, and a Master's student at the Johns Hopkins Science Writing Program. Upasana can poorly mimic the squeak of a squirrel, the bark of a seal, the coo of a pigeon, and the squawk of a macaw. For reasons unrelated, she has also visited her local police station a few too many times.
