Hi, I would like to follow more science communicators. Please drop a 👋 for follow or tag a science communicator! #followback #scicomm

Found this recently in Chennai, Ambattur @chennaicorp @chennaipolice_ this is a image taken just now on Google maps of an old school.

@NobelPrize The best ideas are shared during tea

Do you take tea breaks with your colleagues? A Nobel Prize laureate who really enjoyed his afternoon tea was physicist J.J. Thomson. Thomson established a daily tea time welcoming all research students for a tea break at University of Cambridge.

It was so wonderful to have @Ishwariya13 speak about molecular pathways for regeneration in mammals. Loved each second of the presentation - superman bits and lab videos! Thank you for such an amazing and fun #scicomm session at @mssrf✨

Curious about how India is shaping a sustainable future? The answers lie in the policies that define our future and the research that transforms ideas into action. MSSRF’s 2025 publications peel back the layers—revealing how decisions made in boardrooms ripple through farms, forests, and communities that put food on our tables and safeguard ecosystem services.

Gender, climate resilience, and sustainable development are the key themes that emerged from stories produced by the 2024-2025 batch of Mina Swaminathan Media Fellows. Our 3 fellows are storytellers, journalists and media practitioners from Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Odisha. Today at the concluding event of Mina Swaminathan Media Fellowship 2024-2025, hosted at MSSRF in Chennai, the fellows showcased impactful written and visual stories from the ground, shaped by the theme of this year’s fellowship ‘The power of collective: women coming together for change.’ These stories offered an in-depth, nuanced understanding of grassroots resilience from a gendered lens. These presentations also provided our reviewers, MSSRF staff, and our audience with insight into the process that guided their storytelling. 🟢 @ArathiMR1 (Kerala) – Fisherwomen adopting green technology and community-led river monitoring. 🟢 @AksharaSanal (Tamil Nadu) – Women in coastal regions building small enterprises and embracing solar dryers. 🟢 @aiswaryaparija1 (Odisha) – Tribal women leading climate-resilient farming and reviving indigenous crops. With addresses by @doctorsoumya ,Chairperson, MSSRF; @richiemaha , Managing Editor, Down To Earth; @AparnaKarthi , Writer & Independent Journalist; and @santakar Independent Journalist for their thoughtful addresses that enriched the discussion and highlighted the importance of amplifying grassroots voices.

So happy to have these conversations on building a scientific ecosystem in India that critiques information to inform itself. Everyone has a role to play. Many of the actors are at @SciJournIndia! ✨ #SJAI2025 @mssrf

Delighted to participate in #ESTIC2025 opening plenary panel on Nurturing R&D & innovation Ecosystem for #ViksitBharat. I spoke about the need for mission mode, collaborative (incl cross boundary), interdisciplinary & participatory research to address our big problems

So excited to have Berty Ashley launch the first day of @SciJournIndia ✨

India is #2 in the world in retractions since 2021. Startling data shared at @SciJournIndia and a head scratcher. It's a complex issue of failure of our education system, future of trust in science and a huge roadblock to building scientific tempermant. #SJAI2025

Climate change is here & this means that climate politics can no longer focus only on preventing future catastrophes. It must now also encompass struggles over how society manages climate impacts already reshaping economic and social life. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Lovely to see the team that made the #SJAI2025 conference possible. Science Journalism today has to operate in one of the most challenging times. Associations like @SciJournIndia are precious spaces for community, ideas, solutions and action to fight dis and misinformation 💪✨

Very excited to meet like-minded people @SciJournIndia's #SJAICONFERENCE2025! @Subhrapr @sahanaghosh8 @KhushiGoel__ @ShakoorRather @journomayank @theplainjain @95Shriya

Artificial intelligence is reshaping healthcare, climate action, and governance — but who truly benefits? 💬This panel at #SJAIConference2025 explores the promises and pitfalls of AI in the public interest, tackling questions of bias, accountability, accessibility, and equity.

📚 I'm planning to revive my #SciComm courses & would love to hear about topics, skills, or frameworks that you'd like to learn about! 🧩 Gaps in training or practice? 📽️ Formats that need more support? 💡 Cross-cutting themes? ✍️🏽 Feel free to share below or DM me — TIA❤️
