"In India and indeed globally, sustained tremendous efforts are required to develop scientific temper among the general public. Science communication and engagement are the fulcrum to foster relationships between science and society. SciSoup has spearheaded efforts to take laboratory science to lay people. Over the last few years, SciSoup has become a compelling science popularization platform in India to speak about science and innovation."

"SciSoup is doing an incredible job in highlighting the research findings of Scientists across India. SciSoup articles in social media many times draw our attention to discoveries beyond our field and motivates us to go back to the article for detail read. Thanks to the attractive presentation that steers us towards the hardcore science behind it. SciSoup coverage of our research work has enabled us to communicate our science and passion to a wider audience. Interestingly, with every attempt with SciSoup, I have discovered that students can and if pushed can write a jargon-free write-up and communicate their results effectively. Thanks to SciSoup for this enriching experience."

"It was indeed an excellent experience for us to communicate our research with SciSoup. SciSoup is a fantastic platform to communicate laboratory research with the common public. Especially podcast and video component is very impressive. It also provides visibility to our early career researchers and first authors."

"Most of the scientific research papers are very technical and non-specialists do not understand the potential of the work. SciSoup is one platform that covers scientific papers/research and communicates it to the public via social media platforms. SciSoup recently covered our research on Glioblastoma. I really appreciate the efforts put in by the SciSoup team and especially by Ratnesh Thankur who explained our work in simple and lucid language to non-scientific readers. I also got the opportunity to explain the work being done in our lab in a more interactive and engaging manner via podcast . I would like to wish SciSoup for doing excellent work of popularizing science which is absolutely required to promote scientific thinking in the society."

"It is very important that accurate and timely information on scientific and technological advances are communicated to the society. Also, as most of the research projects are financed through public funding, the scientists are expected and bound to share their knowledge with the public and inform them the pros and cons of their discoveries. In this regard, SciSoup has been doing fantastic job in communicating scientific findings and advances to lay people in simple and lucid language. The way SciSoup covers the scientific findings, it has become a very popular platform in India for science news and views. Great job...!!."
