Taxonomists need Therapy

Taxonomists need therapy! Comic from my column with The Hindu Sunday Magazine. 

Herpetology Reversed

Delighted to announce the relaunching of my weekly column with Roundglass Sustain, which has revamped, restarted and is all set to croak, I mean roar! You can now read new cartoons and comics from Green Humour every week on the Roundglass Sustain website.  

Some Tips to Deal with Men in Science

With the #MeToo movement finally gaining momentum in India, I hope that the issues concerning the safety of women working in ecology, wildlife science and conservation will be discussed and addressed, and that there will be a focus on creation of safe working environments for women in these fields. Being male, and not having been on the receiving end of sexual harassment, I realize that I may not fully comprehend the gravity of the situation. Hence, the comic has been created with inputs from various female friends, seniors and mentors working in ecology and conservation. I thank them for trusting me with the information, and for sharing their experiences with me.

The comic appears in my column with Sunday Mid-day. 

Part Time Jobs of a Field Biologist

Field biologists are an enterprising bunch! Here's a little tribute to my field biologist friends who rough it out in tough terrain, harsh weather and inadequate resource, to make research and conservation happen. From my column with Mid-Day today.

Prints of the comic are available on my webstore here. For orders within India, the comic is available as A3 and A2 size posters. Write to me on rohanchakcartoonist@gmail.com for ordering prints.

(Inspired by the work of my friend Aishwarya Bhandari, whose research involves tracking and shooting video footage of Dholes or the Asiatic Wild Dog. More about Dholes here. Also inspired by my friend Ushma Shukla, who used to drive a motorbike loaded with field rations across Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary all by herself!).
