Living systems,written so others can follow.
I study what is alive, then make the notes readable.

About
Aisha Rahman
B.Sc. Life Sciences, Ashoka University
I spend more time at water bodies the city forgot than in a lecture hall. The work is counts, weekly notes for a public site, and a thesis on wetland birds in the NCR. I write so a volunteer who was not there can still follow the method.

Eleven ponds, one method
Wetland Watch only works if next week's volunteer can repeat the count. The weekly note is a protocol, not a diary.

The cheat sheet that outlived the term
Biostats I did not need another slide deck. It needed one page students could keep under a water bottle.

Birds on water the city forgot
The thesis sites are not parks. They are borrow pits and canal edges. The birds are still there, which is the point.
