Vote for change if you can, as no matter which party, keeping one more than two terms in power is a big mistake. Arrogance crosses the limit and it affects democracy. Being from West Bengal, I can vouch for that. Bring change, refresh the air, be in control #GeneralElections2024
A PhD research scholar has applied for leave to cast his vote in the upcoming Lok Sabha election in his state. I wish this sincerity remained in the government to work on the policy towards the disbursement of fellowships on a regular basis. @VoicesofIndAcad @AcademicChatter

With voting about to start in India’s general election, some researchers are concerned that sluggish funding growth and slow decision-making processes could hold the country back go.nature.com/4aQLjHd
As I said before x.com/lekhawonders/s… Keeping a party more than 5 years in power is a mistake, more than 10 years a blunder, at the state level or central. People of West Bengal have seen that repeatedly.

Loved this article. "Dropping the garland model" is an intriguing concept here. All Indian events need to be no-frills somehow, isn't it? So that the core issues of priority don't get lost amongst the fanfare. It's a core cultural change, Indian science can be the trendsetter

One European colleague once asked me, oh, you are Hindu, you must then pray? I said, oh, yes, whenever I am in trouble!

I truly admire dogs, but, quite afraid as they jump to greet/attack. @chetan_bhagat ✍ so well the inescapable reality of Indian stray dog problem. Missed point: Having no interest in @swachhbharat mission & without assigned toilets, they've to use the roads of clean India!

Lipid droplets are less famous but crucial organelles of cells. My year-end news story @IndiaBioscience covers a recent discovery from @IGIBSocial about accessing these fat depots. Thanks to @KamatLab_IISER for expert comments. Read👇 indiabioscience.org/news/2023/the-… via @IndiaBioscience
🔍 Researchers at @IGIBSocial and @ENS_ULM identified a GTPase acting as as the initial mediator of lysosome-dependent lipid degradation in human macrophages.🔬 buff.ly/48cZe9W ✍️ @lekhawonders
For the next project from @IndiaBioscience, we are looking for people who quit their PhDs in between to understand the 🇮🇳 research ecosystem better. If you know someone, please reach out at hello@IndiaBioscience.org🙏 PS: You can choose to be anonymous in the final resource.
