About the Author
Berty Ashley is a molecular biologist with the Dystrophy Annihilation Research Trust. He works with rare genetic disorders.

He was the senior content editor for two seasons of the Tamil edition of Kaun Banega Crorepati. He is also a lover of music—not only playing but collecting, as is evident by his growing stack of vinyl records of jazz, prog, Hindustani and heavy metal music. He and his partner, Akhila, live in Bengaluru, surrounded by books, music and an assortment of pens and guitars.
