Being an editor can get technical from time-to-time. Join Sonal and me as we discuss how sometimes LFTEs can be an awesome tool in every editor's arsenal and how having a really good Dashboard can make all the difference when it comes to encouraging our editors.
Juggling multiple jobs is something every Cactizen learns and accepts as part of our job. But how about juggling two professions at the same time? Join us as we talk to Trupti Agarwal and discuss how a career in dentistry led her to Cactus and how sometimes, this job is about reading between the lines and understanding the specific needs of our authors
New financial year, new challenges, and new things to do. But what do our Cactizens want to do this coming year? Join us as we learn all the personal and professional goals that our Cactizens have set for ourselves in the new Financial Year.
Cactus requires a very particular set of skills beyond just being good at English. Join Meghna and me as we discuss how being an Army kid helped her gain the particular skill-set which allowed her to be successful at Cactus and why Research Ethics is one topic almost everyone should study at least once.
COVID-19 changed how Cactus works. But how did this change start? And just how difficult it is to make new friends at the workplace now? Join Jennifer and me as we discuss being introverts in a WFH setting and how both of us really stumbled upon Cactus after giving up on our first loves.
Sometimes finding our life's calling means running up a few blind alleys. But how to recover from hitting such a dead-end? Join us as Sharanya and I discuss how she realized Chartered Accountancy was not the right choice for her, how being exposed to various topics is always a good idea, and how cooking shows might just be the best guilty pleasure we can enjoy.
Sometimes taking the first step to move out of our comfort zones is probably the most difficult task. And yet, everyone does take them. Join Sunjeetha and me as we discuss taking our first steps into the world of scientific editing, how she is probably the best motivator on a rainy day, and some rather controversial opinions on AR Rehman.
Sometimes, we build deep emotional connections with the people around us. Sometimes we make emotional connections with things simply because we had them during some tough times. Listen to Amita and I as we discuss the things we share deep emotional connections with, and continue the eternal text vs calling debate.
Liking English is like a pre-requisite at our job. But loving grammar, now that is something new... Join Malti and I as we discuss our shared passions of Grammar, fanfics, and cheeses of various kinds.
Just because we don't eat some foods, doesn't mean we can't derive some voyeuristic pleasure from seeing how they are made. Join us as Sneha and I discuss our love for cooking shows and her absolute disdain for cooking itself, my absolute disdain for gardening (an activity she loves), and how people who joined Cactus during the lockdown have missed out on many fun activities (Pottery anyone?).
