Data and Me
ISHANI
This story begins at the end of a trek.

I can use this data for my M.Sc dissertation project!

IndiaHikes was kind enough to send me 7000 samples, all the way from Dehradun!

And then... data entry began!




Sometimes, it was fun!
With unexpected surprises...
...And some adventures along the way

Data that refused to be digitised...

Data that demanded pampering...
And finally, it was done!

I could do a happy dance!
I literally cried when I saw this beauty!


Then my presentation journey began.


Imposter syndrome is real!
I had some wins along the way!

And data became my friend!

Here's me talking about it on a video podcast with Indiahikes!
Totally worth it!

"Honestly, the real thrill of conducting research, and what makes it worth persevering despite the gruelling nature of it is that biology, to quote Barbara McClintock, “never ceases to amaze us”. While standard protocols and set pipelines are important for scientific rigour, and making research reproducible, does it leave room for creativity? Imagine the stories we miss as we disregard negative data!"
