Hello, I'm Dalmeet! I'm a science journalist based in London, UK. I have a Biochemistry BSc degree from University College London, a Science Communication MSc degree from Imperial College London, and a passion for neat storytelling.

I spent all of 2016 working as a full time reporter for the scientific watchdog Retraction Watch.

My work has featured in/on Nature, Science, Slate, Medium, Spectrum, Chemistry World, New Scientist, The Guardian, The Observer, The Economist, Pacific Standard, Physics Today, C&EN Magazine, Physics World, BBC Future, The Sunday Times, The Cut, New York Magazine, Undark Magazine, Quanta Magazine, Times Higher Education, SciDev.Net, Psychology Today, Research Ltd, The Scientist and more!
