A warm NOL welcome to Vishnu Modur
Folks, as you have probably guessed by now, NOL has a new blogger. His name is Vishnu, and you can read about him right here:
Vishnu Modur is a Ph.D. in molecular biology who works as a cancer biologist at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. He has diverse passions outside the lab setting. He is deeply interested in Indic cultural anthropology, Indic philosophy, political philosophy, and philosophy of science. He blogs about his scientific research on Medium and writes about history, politics, and culture on NOL. He quips that as a resident-alien in the United States, he can offer a unique perspective, using his resident and sometimes his ‘alien’ viewpoints on several issues.
Check out his posts so far, and don’t forget to say ‘hi’ in the comments.
