The pattern in science is that you get stuck in every project. But the reason is not that you're dumb but because you're confronting the unknown. And not giving up does eventually lead to a discovery! Thank you El País for interviewing me about my day science and night science!

@DeepaHRajan @MenonBioPhysics @WallaceUcsf Cool work!

How can a single cell learn without a brain? We explore this in my new paper with @WallaceUcsf! We discovered that single cells may learn using molecules similar to those that animal brains use to learn, like CaMKII. Cells can also propagate memory states to their progeny! 🧵1/n

Excited to share our latest work led by a very talented postdoc @marwaha_rr : nature.com/articles/s4146… ... Ritu uncovered an unexpected role for lysosomes in regulating leader cell emergence during collective cell migration. We thank @India_Alliance @TIFRH_buzz for support 🙏

@tamal_das @marwaha_rr @India_Alliance @TIFRH_buzz Congratulations 👏🎉

@marwaha_rr @India_Alliance @TIFRH_buzz Congratulations 👏🎉

Thrilled to share our new work, now published in Nature Communications! 🎉

(1/n) Excited to share that my PhD work @tamal_das Lab is now published in @NatureCellBio! How do epithelial cells around a gap sense edge-curvature? We find that the ER acts as a central mechanotransducer, sensing the curvature & guiding cell migration. nature.com/articles/s4155…

The goal of a PhD is not to learn some facts or read a few papers or learn a bunch of techniques. The goal of a PhD is to learn independence, problem solving, how to finish things you start, resilience, & gain the ability to adapt & think creatively. Learning these things is hard

At a time when people are understandably focused on the daily chaos in Washington, these articles describe the rapidly accelerating impact that AI is going to have on jobs, the economy, and how we live. axios.com/2025/05/28/ai-…

Nothing in nature has a purpose and nothing that exists is unnatural. Happy International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia. #Darwin #LGBTQI #InternationalDayAgainstHomophobia

India will identify, track and punish every terrorist, their handlers and their backers. We will pursue them to the ends of the earth. India’s spirit will never be broken by terrorism.

Last night I was honored to receive the 2025 #BreakthroughPrize in the Life Sciences, reflecting the efforts of many students, collaborators, doctors, and patients in labs around the world. I hope this 4-minute excerpt can inspire when science needs public support more than ever.

@nbodhi84 @suv_halder @IISER_BERHAMPUR Congratulations 👏🎉

Excited to share New paper from the lab. @suv_halder’s work on spontaneous dispersal tendency of fruit flies shown to depend on nutritional and density context in a sex specific manner. nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/oi…. Thanks @IISER_BERHAMPUR for support.

@nbodhi84 @Ra_Sa_Pa_ @IISER_BERHAMPUR Congratulations 👏

In another superb piece of work by @Ra_Sa_Pa_ shows #sexualConflict over mating rate and duration in #partheniumBeetles. Excited to share the preprint. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Thanks to @IISER_BERHAMPUR for support.

@Siva619TS @ACSCatalysis @SM_IITJ @im_prahallad @p22cy005 Congratulations Siva!

Finally out in @ACSCatalysis!! I am extremely thankful to my supervisor Dr. Sandip Murarka @SM_IITJ, for his constant support and guidance 🙏🙏. It was great working with both of you, @im_prahallad @p22cy005 😄.

@nbodhi84 @PurbashaDG @Ra_Sa_Pa_ @IISER_BERHAMPUR Congratulations 👏🎉

New paper from the lab. Most excited because this is the first non-Drosophila paper from our group. Kudos to @Ra_Sa_Pa_ and all other authors. Thanks @IISER_BERHAMPUR for supporting a new venture. Had a wonderful experience publishing in Ethology. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/et…
