ABOUT US

ABOUT

The echo network is a social innovation partnership initiated in 2019 by the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India along with multiple stakeholders. We are a living tool to embed science into the society that helps each individual understand the importance of science in our daily lives and each organization realize its goals toward solving India's systemic problems. 

WHY WE ARE NEEDED

WHAT WE DO

Issues like sustainability of our planet cannot be solved by individuals. Solving these problems requires people from different walks of life to come together with a common shared purpose. Shannon Olsson, Global Director at the echo network talks about how we are striving to create this purpose and bring together people from various walks of society to converse, collaborate, and innovate together.

Global Director

All life on Earth interacts through the language of chemistry. Prof. Shannon B Olsson is a chemical ecologist who listens to nature’s chemical conversations across India’s diverse ecosystems. A Fulbright Scholar, Ramanujan and INK Fellow, Shannon’s research has been featured by CNN, Inverse, Cosmos, TEDx, Syntalk, Sci-Illustrate, Dublin Science Gallery, V&A London, Chemical and Engineering News, and the DST Science Express train. 

Her love for nature’s communication is what brought her to conceptualise the echo network with the Principal Scientific Adviser in 2018. Echo represents the two things Shannon enjoys most - Nature and Communication. Shannon loves spending time with her two loves - her husband Petter, and her daughter Grace. They teach her the meaning of empathy and trust every day.
