Aabhya Parnami

Aabhya Parnami is a postgraduate cognitive neuroscience student at the University of Manchester, where she studies how the brain influences memory and human connection. She loves unpacking the science behind our everyday choices, and connecting the dots between real life and pop-culture. As a student who has to pore through verbose, and often, convoluted journal articles, she believes that science should be accessible (and fun!).
