#AgeRestriction Indian researchers spend years in PhD & Postdoc but remain ineligible for scientist positions in @CSIR_IND institutions due to age restrictions. Despite repeated requests, no action yet @DrNKalaiselvi @DrJitendraSingh @IndianExpress @the_hindu @thewire_in @aajtak

My colleague and dear friend @debolina95 has received the prestigious EQUIP scholarship. She is the only one to secure this scholarship from India. Pride is too small a word for what I feel for her. 🤩

📢@IndiaDST in collaboration with @BritishCouncil invites application from #women #scientists working in space & allied areas to participate in leadership development training program under UKIERI. @DrJitendraSingh @karandi65 For details & apply visit -onlinedst.gov.in/Projectproposa…

I jumped into academia with zero knowledge. Then I spent 4 years trying to figure out funding, doctoral opportunities abroad, journals and academic writing. And yet today when people ask me why my PhD isn't over yet, I have no answer for them.

Shameful incident.

A junior doctor was raped and killed in the dark of the night in the hospital, while working! Where is the protection, those who save people, why should they die?We want justice!Justice for moumita. I request my mutual pls share this.😓@KolkataPolice #Kolkata #JusticeForMoumita

A year of protest against the federation chief. Slept on pavements for 40 days. Was beaten, dragged by the police. Nearly immersed all her medals in the Ganga. Underwent knee surgery. Sealed her Olympic spot after an unforgiving qualification process. Became the 1st Indian woman wrestler to qualify for three successive Olympics. And now, she's beaten the unbeatable defending champ, won two more bouts to become the first Indian woman to reach a wrestling Olympic final. Words fail to appreciate what Vinesh Phogat has just done. es.pn/3SFNkQ1 | #Paris2024

The developer of Jaipur municipal corporation website is crazy

How’s the research going? Me:

@MedicaHospitals Kolkata has one of the worst staff ever. They call the family of patients, threatening and shouting. They do unnecessary procedures on critical patients, and when family objects, convince the patient that the family doesn't love them enough. Unbelievable!

@aksingh_2000 I was wondering what happened today with a new Search Bar

WhatsApp really needs to hire good engineers 🤦🏻‍♂️

We have a Postdoc and a PhD position available in our group. Start dates August-September 2024 with some flexibility. More details here: joannamcgouran.wixsite.com/mysite/join

I am in Geetanjali Express and was supposed to have reached Kharagpur at 10.15 am. Instead the train has stood stationary every 15 minutes. I have seen 12 freight trains, around 50 cycles and at least 4 goats pass us while we lumber along at a glacial pace. Vaah #IndianRailways

@DrTanimaDutta Congratulations ma'am!

If nobody hears of me by tomorrow noon, it might be safe to assume that I had indeed pulled the chain and have been dragged to a police station for misdemeanor. Pray for me folks!

I am currently on a train, in the side upper seat, and Indian Railways has provided me with my own emergency pull chain. God forbid I have a nightmare tonight and accidentally hold on to this chain for emotional support. #IndianRailways

Roll call! What's your research area?

Thanks to my amazing junior Pratyush, here's a video of me recounting my conference experience and visa voes at the recently held Research Scholar's Day on 12th Jan at @SMSTIITKGP

@chelseamjoseph Aah the age old medical advice of "Get pregnant, nature will solve your hormonal issues. And if it doesn't, get pregnant again!"

What if I told you that on a daily women struggle with many debilitating conditions concerning the reproductive system and the only cure for them at present is “we can’t do anything you’re trying to get pregnant”
