Rangi De Silva on James Marion Sims

  • January 23, 2018

Rangi De Silva is Melbourne-based doctor who is currently training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Victoria. A self-confessed science and comic book-nerd, she started her university studies with a degree in Science and then finally decided she liked people even more so she went on to study graduate Medicine. Being passionate about global health, she’s worked in Uganda, Sri Lanka and remote Indigenous communities in the Northern Territory and is looking forward to a volunteer placement in the Asia Pacific next year before she becomes an even bigger nerd and starts her PhD. Until recently she was also Director of Programs at Global Ideas, a Melbourne based global health education and leadership organisation and is also a member of the World Economic Forum Melbourne Global Shaper Hub. In her spare time, she’s a big fan of animated movies, assorted crafts, travel and can often be seen with a camera in hand.

“Existing at a point where science meets storytelling, Laborastory is a night of five scientists telling stories about personal heroes from their field.
Sometimes serious but often funny, this different take on storytelling will switch on your scientific brain and you might even learn something!"

— Broadsheet

”The Laborastory is great for two main reasons. Firstly, there's nothing quite like listening to someone talk about something they deeply understand - and who understands science better than scientists? Secondly, most of history's greatest scientists were batshit insane, so the stories about them are always top-notch."
— Everguide

”So much fun! It should be required post-grad/doc/prof experience!"
— Dr Colin Hales

“As for the storytelling itself, for the most part it was roll-on-the-floor funny. These guys and gals were naturals. Or, perhaps, they have inhaled, imbibed or injected so many weird chemicals that they are actually cracked. Either way, it was a great night."
— Bait for Bookworms
