Meet us!
Siri
Co-founder, Editor
Blurb: Hi! I am Siri, a student writer from New Jersey. I co-founded Scīre after realizing the lack of opportunities for students and young adults interested in the interaction of science and history. I hope to promote this subject to a larger audience as well as offer peers interested in the field an opportunity to express themselves and their interdisciplinary curiosity!
Primary Interests: Infectious Diseases, Virology, American History
Favorite Quote:“We are not making science for science. We are making science for the benefit of humanity.” (Francoise Barre-Sinoussi)
Jane
Co-founder, Editor
Blurb: Hello! I'm Jane, a student writer and aspiring educator. As someone with a multidisciplinary interest set, I've always been unsatisfied with the traditional division between STEM and the humanities. So, when Siri and I decided to embark on Scīre together, I was immediately hooked. I'm so eager to play my role in passing knowledge to all who love to learn and in getting more students involved in writing their own passion articles!
Primary Interests: Linguistics, Ornithology, Evolution
Favorite Quote: "In Nature there's no blemish but the mind: None can be called deformed but the unkind" (TN.3.4.386-387).
Tanvi
Design Manager
Blurb: Hi! I am Tanvi, a student from New Jersey and a future engineer. My interests cover a broad spectrum from computer science, electrical engineering, and biology to art and music. While my foundation is in STEM, I’ve always believed that technical fields are at their best when paired with creativity. As Design Manager, I’m excited to use my creative skills to help other students showcase their work and to provide a bridge between complex scientific concepts and their history!
Primary Interests: Engineering, Computer Science, Biology

Aarya
Social Media Manager
Blurb: Hey! I am Aarya, a student ready to share my passion for the history behind modern-day science with others. I have always found the topics of science and the plot line of history equally interesting; however, I would always interact with them separately. For me, Scīre is a place where I can merge my two interests to form a new branch of knowledge. As social media manager, I am looking forward to sharing this opportunity with others and encouraging like-minded students to explore this branch and delve into the wide array of topics and stories that come with it!
Primary Interests: Healthcare, Biology, Environmental Science
