Learn about her deep dives into topics like Liberal Feminism and Zen Buddhism, and how she found inherent goodness despite the world's flaws. Follow Murugan's path from considering a switch to Political Science or Sociology to pursuing Biochemistry and Computer Science, with a focus on using machine learning algorithms in cancer research.
