Anil Aggrawal's Science Reporter's Articles on Forensic Toxicology

Hi, I am Professor Anil Aggrawal from India. I am working as a Professor of Forensic Medicine at the Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi-110002, India. I love to exchange ideas on Forensic Medicine, Forensic Pathology and Forensic Toxicology. I love writing books on science, and have published nine books so far. I love reading and writing science fiction, especially that related to forensic medicine. Anyone wishing to exchange ideas with me on forensic medicine, science, and science fiction is welcome.

I have been writing popular articles on Forensic Medicine, Forensic Pathology and Forensic Toxicology in some of the most popular magazines and periodicals in India.

I love talking to young intelligent students on matters of forensic science. One of my most memorable experiences was when I talked on "Forensic Engineering" to a group of highly intelligent students at IIT, Bombay in February 2002. The students were fantastic; I thoroughly enjoyed being with them and talking to them on this confluence of the two specialties. The students appeared to enjoy my slides and animations too.

Science Reporter is a monthly science magazine, which gives articles of scientific interest on a variety of subjects. This magazine was started in post independent India in 1952 and is published uninterrupted since then. It is published by the National Institute of Science Communication, New Delhi. The full address of the magazine is:

From January 1997, I started a new series, POISON SLEUTHS which appeared as a monthly column from January 1997 till April 2001. It proved highly popular among lay people and scientists alike. It was in the form of a dialogue between an intelligent and curious 15 year old, and an expert forensic pathologist.
