We help find and create opportunities for Science Communicators and explore avenues to construct, collaborate, and contribute to expanding our community.

What’s up at SciRio? 🤘

Consistency and discipline are the only two things you need for your plan to work.

Our founder, Suchitha Champak, is a strong believer in this fact.

On a mission to transform how society perceives science, she explores creative ways to build a community of science communicators.

She envisions a future where science and society co-evolve to build an equitable and accessible space for everyone to empower themselves.

Her journey as a scientist turned entrepreneur has been featured in digital media outlets like The Assam Tribune and BioPatrika.

She has actively participated in drafting proactive policies for science communication in the latest version of the STI (Science Technology and Innovation) Policy by the Government of India.

She is speaking at a TEDx event at Vishwakarma Institute of Technology, Pune, on the 𝟐𝟏𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐚𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐.

We are super excited about this talk 😍😍😍

3. Latest project completed

We helped put together the Coffee-table book for CSIR-National Geophysical Research Institute (NGRI) for their Diamond Jubilee celebrations. 🥳️

We collated and condensed 60 years of work of research and milestones into 4 comprehensive sections, and designed ‘Geo-Odyssey’ — a coffee-table book which showcases the institute’s remarkable 60-year scientific and research journey.

This project was executed in collaboration with Devayani Khare Communications and Content Conspiracy.

On 11 Oct 2021, Geo-Odyssey was launched by Prof. Shekhar C. Mande, DG CSIR & Secretary DSIR, who graced the occasion of CSIR-NGRI’s diamond jubilee celebrations. 

The Inaugural ceremony was featured in The Hindu and United News of India
