Say hello to Inchara A U Athreya who will do a workshop on creating effective presentations to showcase and share your research! ?? Inchara Athreya is doing an MA in Social Sciences Research and a PhD on Academic Misconduct Investigations in Higher Education Institutions on a scholarship and stipend from the UK’s Economic and Social Research Council at the University of Warwick. She was also there for her undergrad in Psychology with Linguistics. At university, she serves as a Student Experience Coordinator and Course Representative for her department. She writes a series of poems called Brain Ballads. It aims to simplify psychological ideas in a manner that is easy for anyone to comprehend, even if they have no background in the subject. The essence of each concept is conveyed through short, relatable poems. The poems range from phenomena like the Bystander Effect all the way to disorders such as Insomnia. This started as posts on social media platforms and has continued till date. In December 2020, she released her first with 18 poems. ???
