Hi all!

My name is Adrija Saha and I am currently a first-year BSc student of Fergusson College, Pune.
I am located in Kolkata at the moment, which is also where Iā€™m from.
I am interested in Statistics and I love to learn how the subject is applied to real-world problems. Apart from college coursework, I like learning about climate change and concepts of astrophysics, among other things.
I enjoy painting, involving myself in climate activism and listening to an unhealthy amount of music! :laughing:
I have a new-found interest in watching videos by TED-Ed, of which an interesting one I watched recently was called - Why Do Blood Types Matter? (I am a total newbie when it comes to Biology, so it provided great insight into blood types and how they work)

Truly excited to be here and looking forward to connecting with many science enthusiasts!

Iā€™m very much enthusiastic to read science articles. Currently Iā€™m going through an article on climate change. Iā€™m very much sad after going through some pages. Our water resources are depleting on every million seconds that we can offer only a few barren lands for the future generations as a remembrance of rivers.i wish to seek some innovative ideas to overcome this condition.
