Finally got around to meeting this cute family of porcupines on the campus. Two adults and two juveniles. Their quills were tempting with the rustling noises they made. Adorable creatures! 🤩😍

Thanks to @poonam_thakur6 for giving a wonderful talk on her work. New discoveries with a new model system. Quality discussions were highlights before and during the talk.
This weekend we are hosting @poonam_thakur6 at SCIS @JNU_official_50 to give a talk on her research. Drop by if you are free on a Saturday morning.

This seemed a book on the current theme, and it didn't fail to talk about Bhakti movement, its origins and vision of an egalitarian society, by questioning. It left much to be desired for me, but a good primer for those who don't know about the effects of Bhakti movement.
Utterly beautiful writing! Even if it is a translation from Korean. Humans are such complex beings, yet understanding them is quite simple. Han Kang brings the best and worst of humans in this book.

Today we had an excellent lecture by Prof. Gautam Basu from Bose Institute titled "Art in Science" and it was extremely interesting. At the end we made origami DNA. Fun way to end the day! 🧬

Finally got around reading this essential reading. I had put of rrading for many years. But now with @Coforge_Tech lending library, I had no excuses. For those interested in questions about our universe and knowing a bit about Hawking's contribution this is a primer.

I loaned this book from @Coforge_Tech lending public library and it was unstoppable. I loved the topic, the deep research, the future it holds in synthetic biology. I am looking forward to the next book soon. Recommend reading this book! The microbiologist in me was happy! 🙌🏽🥰

Evidence, in case anyone doubted it.
Delhi has been having a banger of a weather the last three days. Cool mornings, clear skies, cooler nights. Basically, the weather one had before Delhi became polluted and the Delhi of my childhood. Also, the best time to be a tourist.

The number of times I have been asked about my caste in a rhetorical manner as a kid is countless. It was confusing to me as to how they knew it. After some years I realized why. An irritating incident was when the invigilator asked me in the middle of my exam. #Facts

Read a semi-fiction before plunging back in science books. I have only heard of this play, but never read or watched it. Thuglak might be a mix paranoid and bipolar personality. Interesting to see thematic parallels in academia, as well? 🤔

Meeting @_KarishmaK is always the highlight of the day! When we discuss science it is an icing on the cake. Also, we crack jokes and have fun! 😂😄
Computations models can contract and expand time-scales for biofilm studies, unlike laboratory models that found find this approach beyond their resolution. A great conversation with @StructBioinfo for Microbial Citadels! 📕 🧫 @FASTIndiaTrust

It was a thought provoking talk by @SudhakaranPrab on his current research at @NonExomics and his book "Eclipsed Horizons". There were lots of stimulating questions and opens up more questions than we have answers for.
An update with the time! It is at 2PM, not 3PM on Wednesday!!!

Weekend also means looking back and guffawing at one's younger self. My mom was an avid photographer. Either this is an advt for Surf detergent or an awkward karate chop! 🤪 Don't know what went in my mind when she said "pose and hold it"!!!🤔 Glad I didn't break my own arm! 😁

Standing at the hallowed grounds where Sadir or Bharatanatyam was born and nurtured at Vazhuvoor, makes me wonder at the creativity that was overflowing like the Kaveri. Seeing the chola bronze of Gajasamhara moorthy made me realise I have only two eyes! Need 998 more!!!

This was a good compilation of how to write science for a general audience. All the stories published in various magazines in 2024 are good, but the writing sparkles for a few and it was unstoppable. I wish we had similar investigative reportage for Indian science.
