Hi everyone,
Please welcome with me Shalini Guleria from India. Shalini was born in India and moved to New Zealand with her family when she was 8 years old. She is very passionate about chemical and biological engineering and has done her PhD in cancer research in Melbourne, Australia. Her goal is it to ignite the interest of science in children and is doing so with her passion project "science box".
In this episode, we dive into the story of Shalini and her family, who left their lavish lifestyle in India in pursuit of a better work-life balance in New Zealand. Struggling with homesickness, they decided to return to India, only to find the same challenges they initially fled. Determined to find a better future, they moved back to New Zealand, this time for good.

Living abroad can be difficult and tough to navigate, but as Shalini's story illustrates, it's possible to change your mind and start over again.

Shalini also shares her journey of pursuing a PhD and her passion for cancer research, which led her to leave New Zealand temporarily. On her Instagram channel, https://www.instagram.com/shalini_gul/ she inspires people worldwide with engaging science content, including tips, tricks, dos and don'ts, and useful tools and experiments.

Her mission is to inspire the younger generation to learn more about science. Her message is clear: "No one is not smart enough for science!" and "Every kid deserves the opportunity to learn science." It’s not about making everyone a scientist, but about encouraging curiosity, teamwork, troubleshooting, and problem-solving—skills that are all very important in all aspects of our life. The result of her mission: Science box, a workshop like project to teach kids science!!!
