One of the images from my recently published research article has been published on the cover page of the prestigious journal Animal Biology. I presented part of this work at Ento'22 organized by @RoyEntSoc and 4th annual conference of @india_evolution. doi.org/10.1163/157075…

I collected and preserved yellow, purple, multicoloured, and variegated corn cobs during my masters, inspired by the pioneering work of the Nobel laureate Barbara McClintock. @india_evolution @magadhuniversi1 @NatureGenet @NobelPrize #genetics #transposition #jumpinggenes

A cherished poem of mine, written by Shiv Kumar Batalvi, rendered in the distinctive voice of Prof. @joshiamitabhevo sir during valedictory session of the 5th Conference of @india_evolution at Lucknow University. #poetry #punjabi #Lucknow

It reminds me of the opening line of Leo Tolstoy's masterpiece novel Anna Karenina. It reads as: "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." #MentalHealthMatters #MentalWellness #leotolstoy #annakarenina

Our new publication! An extensive literature review in the form of a book chapter titled "Insights into the Proteostasis System in Ageing and Neurodegenerative Disorders" has been published today as part of @SpringerNature volume on "Proteostasis." link.springer.com/chapter/10.100…

One of my wildest research ideas was to use nanotechnology in taxonomy and it worked! This preliminary work paves way for more such innovations in taxonomy which otherwise is looked upon as a stagnant area. doi.org/10.1155/2022/1… @india_evolution @WileyGlobal #nanotechnology

I attended an interesting talk on “pollinators and our shared future” by Prof. Hema Somanathan, Head (Biology), @tvmiiser at Animal Taxonomy Summit 2025 organized by Zoological Survey of India, Kolkata. Bees are fascinating indeed! @somanathan_hema @ZoologicalI @BEElab_iisertvm

I attended a wonderful lecture on “bioacoustics in monitoring biodiversity and behaviour” by Dr. Manjari Jain, Associate Professor (Biology), @IiserMohali at Animal Taxonomy Summit 2025 organized by Zoological Survey of India, Kolkata. @minivets @ZoologicalI @lab_behavioural

Today, #JPSC messaged me that I am shortlisted for final screening for Assistant Professor (AP) post in Jharkhand's state universities for which I applied 7 years ago. Meanwhile, I already cracked #UPPSC, #MPPSC & #BPSC AP Exams. I chose BPSC & have also got promotion recently.

I am pleased to share that I have been promoted from the post of Assistant Professor Junior Scale (Level-10) to Assistant Professor Senior Scale (Level-11) by Magadh University, Bodh Gaya. @magadhuniversi1 #promotion

I volunteered as a subject for an interesting neuroscience experiment being conducted at Department of Physiology, AIIMS, New Delhi. They are studying effects of meditation in reducing mental stress. It was fun! #Neuroscience #yoga #meditation #MentalWellness #AIIMS
