Priya completed a master's degree in public health before moving into science journalism, having realised during her studies that most people never encounter the research itself — only the headlines built on top of it. She spent four years writing for science and health outlets, developing a careful method for reading studies critically: checking sample sizes, study design, and whether a headline's claim actually matches the data. She has a particular interest in how public health guidance evolves and gets communicated. She lives in Cardiff and keeps an unreasonably organised spreadsheet of articles she means to read someday.
