Congratulations to Devu B. Kumar, a 5th-year BS-MS student, for winning the @DAAD_Germany scholarship to pursue the International Graduate School of Neuroscience at Ruhr University, Germany.
Announcing the 9th Edition of the online "Biostatistics: A User's Perspective" course. This will be an intuitive understanding of the useful bits, without getting bogged down by the gory maths. sites.google.com/acads.iiserpun… Please consider spreading the word. Thanks!
Grateful to @CureParkinsonsT UK for this feature on #ResearchAppreciationDay & their continued support for our preclinical research program for #Parkinsons. Their commitment to advancing fundamental research that can inform future therapeutic strategies for PD is commendable.🙏
This #ResearchAppreciationDay, we’re launching our Meet the Researcher series! In this interview, Assistant Professor Dr Poonam Thakur discusses studying repurposed drugs for Cure Parkinson’s, and why it's vital for scientists to engage with the public: buff.ly/7Yq3N34
All these things were not enough for Air India. After torturous treatment from Air India, I somehow landed in JFK. Surprise, Guess what, they have conveniently off loaded more than 100 checked in luggage, including mine, in Delhi itself.
I was booked on AI101 from Delhi to JFK on 21 June. Few hours before the departure, I got a message that my itinerary had changed due to “*unforeseen operational reasons*.” I was scared as operational issues in AI after the past incident immediately raised safety concerns. (1/7)
Key to research success: ambition in vision, but pragmatism in execution. You must be guided by a long-term, ambitious goal that addresses a fundamental problem, rather than chasing incremental gains on established benchmarks. Yet, your progress should be grounded by tractable…
Recently hit 10K followers! Grateful for the connection & support over the years. But can’t ignore how Indian #AcademicTwitter is slowly fading - fewer people, less engagement, more silence. Where are the vibrant discussions, the dissent, camaraderies? Let’s revive it 🙏
Time for our next set of students to fly from the nest. We tried to do new things with computational biology, data sciences and ML, faced some setbacks but also grew & learnt together. Best wishes to all of them for a bright future. Onwards & upwards 🙌
Yes! A significant step in improvement of RnD ecosystem. Looking forward to timely disbursal of funds and fellowship as next steps in ease of research.
We must also ensure that our scientific workforce—PhD students and postdoctoral fellows—receive uninterrupted fellowships throughout the duration of their training. @DBTIndia @CSIR_IND @IndiaDST @ICMRDELHI @PrinSciAdvGoI @insa_academy @IAScBng linkedin.com/in/anirban-bas…
It is crucial to understand the raw data and present it in a way that accurately reflects its nuances. Some cool stuff in this paper to take it to the next level nature.com/articles/s4159…

"Academia, in its best form, can feed your stomach, brain and heart." These words resonate so deeply. A great thread for everyone pursuing or wishing to pursue an academic career in India.
Today, I complete 15 years as a faculty member at #IISERPune. I have attempted to put together a list (based on my blogs) of some lessons that I have learnt so far. A disclaimer to note is that this list is by no means a comprehensive one, but a text of self-reflection from my…
It’s time for the much awaited Annual meeting of Indian Academy of Neurosciences. This year the IAN-2025 is @RGCB_Trivandrum during Oct 29-Nov 1, 2025. Please see the flyer and Visit rgcb.res.in/IAN2025 for more details. @DBT_NBRC @shubhatole @DBTIndia @arpansview
Thrilled to be spending the next few days @ENSdeLyon as BIOSANTEXC Discovery program grantee. Looking forward to engaging in scientific discussions with @MollereauLab and sharing our work during the upcoming "Mini-symposium on Neurodegeneration." @tvmiiser
