About

Yuven Muniandy, Ph.D.

Hello visitor, welcome to my blog. My name is Yuven. I live in the Netherlands, the land of beautiful windmills and canals. My dream is to be a prolific science writer/ journalist. As a first step to pursuing my dreams, I have started blogging. Here I share my thoughts on the book of nature or simply put science. Occasionally, I will write reviews for autobiographies and famous books on science, history, and theology.

As a kid, I was always amazed at how beautiful nature is. From the deepest ocean to the furthest ends of the cosmos, nature is always intriguing. I graduated from the historical city of Leiden with a doctorate degree in Biology. During my doctorate study, I investigated the role of larval zebrafish in studying anxiety-like behaviours. My academic training is in natural sciences, but at the same time, I am also interested in the entire spectrum of social sciences and humanities.

I am passionate about communicating the wonders of science to different groups of audiences. Books are my best buddies since childhood as I love to read! In addition to biology, I have great interests in astronomy, history, and theology. Therefore, I have an ardent love to write on topics related to life, science, and faith and this is also another reason why I started blogging.

It is a blessing to live in one of the most beautiful and safe countries in the world. Leisures include a bike ride along the dikes, enjoying a cup of aromatic coffee or tea, cooking different cuisines, hanging out with friends, and watching a fun relaxing film.
