About Me:
I’m a plant doctor that study plants using an engineer point of view. I’m a Spanish researcher that moved to UK to continue studying how plants can defend themselves despite they can’t move. I have a huge number of plants at home and in my desk, so my main hobby is gardening but I also enjoy fantasy and mystery literature (Laura Gallego and Agatha Christie), embroidery, crafting, and traditional Spanish cooking.

Eashan Saikia
About Me:
I live in Cambridge, UK, and I originally hail from Assam, in India – famous for producing one of the finest black teas, and also for the single-horned rhinoceros. I grew up in the tropical climate of the Himalayan Rainforests, and was naturally interested in plants. Therefore, in my PhD, I studied how the carnivorous plant Venus flytrap recognizes an insect, and closes rapidly. I enjoy playing tennis, strumming a guitar, and long-distance cycling in my free time.
