Description:

Mr Mehershad Wadia has written numerous scripts for short comedies screened at international film festivals like Mumbai and San Francisco, joined the writing team for the third season of The Office India and published a children’s book. Matching his passion for entertainment is Mehershad’s commitment to brain research. He is adamant there is no reason to choose between the two. At UQ’s Queensland Brain Institute, Mehershad works in the Hilliard lab, studying the nervous system of c.elegans.  

In this insightful conversation, Mehershad explains:   

  • How the right experimental conditions led to a stand-up comedy career 
  • What studying worm brains can teach us about the human brain 
  • The parallels between comedy and science 
  • Why he became a writer for The Office during the pandemic 
  • How skills in the arts and science are helpful in any career.
