@Navneetshahi7 @MoumiMazumdar @iiscbangalore In a system that rewards neat narratives, we often skip the messy middle—watching, wondering, waiting. Reclaiming observation isn’t anti-rigour. It’s where rigour begins.

@Navneetshahi7 @MoumiMazumdar @iiscbangalore Most papers begin with hypotheses. Many discoveries begin with observation. From worm behaviour to ethology classics, Navneet Shahi reflects on how careful seeing—not assumptions—shapes meaningful scientific questions.

A missed detail on a petri dish became a reminder: not every anomaly is noise. What looks like variation may be the start of discovery—if we pause long enough to ask why. Read more: buff.ly/Ryyjar6 ✍️ @Navneetshahi7 Image created by @MoumiMazumdar @iiscbangalore

@ashithasnm @NIMHANS_BLR From navigating motherhood and academia to finding strength in mentorship and community, her story reminds us: there is no single path to science—only journeys shaped by persistence, imperfect choices, and support from those who believe in us.

With limited mentorship early on, many of her choices were instinctive. What began with uncertainty slowly built self-reliance, resilience, and confidence—eventually leading to the DST-INSPIRE Faculty Fellowship. Her journey shows that scientific careers rarely follow a straight path.

In the latest #JOYI2026 article, @ashithasnm (DST INSPIRE Faculty Fellow, @NIMHANS_BLR) reflects on the uncertain decisions, quiet resilience, and unexpected mentorship that shaped her academic journey—from a lonely PhD to building a research career. Read more: buff.ly/IEN5Y2I @DBTIndia @IndiaDST

Her message is clear: build support systems, seek mentorship, and ask for help. Because sustaining women in science requires more than individual grit—it demands structural change.

From setting up a lab in a remote university to raising a child alongside grant deadlines, her story reveals the invisible labour behind science. When systems fall short, resilience, mentorship, and community step in.

What does it take to build a research career from scratch, while navigating motherhood and distance? In this Resilience and Representation in Research article, Deeksha Tripathi’s journey reflects the realities behind academic success: buff.ly/aMW6vk6 Written by Gayathri Sreedharan. @CURajasthan
