A Student Of The Cosmos – Sitara Srinivasan
In this episode, I’m speaking with Sitara Srinivasan, the founder of Naxxatra Sciences and an independent researcher and educator. Sitara is the youngest guest we’ve had on the show so far, and her curiosity about the cosmos from an early age has led her on an inspiring journey in science and education.
At just 22, Sitara started Naxxatra Sciences to promote science education and inspire future generations of scientists. She shares her experiences of building a community of science enthusiasts, navigating setbacks, and her passion for teaching critical and rational thinking to children.
In this episode, we talk about:
- • Sitara’s vision – How she developed a clear vision at just 22 and started Naxxatra Sciences.
