#WATCH | South 24 Parganas, West Bengal: Polling begins in Falta Assembly Constituency. A voter says, “It is the same as it was back in my childhood.

I have spent my entire life working on this and thinking about this for the past 4 years. I don't know what will happen in 20 years, but I can promise you that on the 5-10 year timescale, scientists are not out of their jobs. AI is going to massively accelerate the pace of science, increase productivity, let individual scientists make way more discoveries way faster, and is going to make science overall more fun. But the model is going to be collaboration between humans and AI, not replacement. The key difference here between science and e.g. software engineering is that science is not verifiable in any rapid/convenient way (unlike software), unlike programming. We still need humans for their scientific taste.
Dr. Thomas Ichim@exosome

Today we all lost our jobs..... Three Nature papers showing that scientists in the conventional sense are obsolete At least read the first one.... the AI replaced all things that the scientist does .... nature.com/articles/s4158…

Remembering the amazing scientist, teacher, author and institution builder - Padma Vibhushan Dr. Jayant Narlikar on his first Punyatithi 🙏 Dr. Narlikar did pioneering research work in cosmology and astrophysics at Cambridge and TIFR, early on in his career. He wrote many books (fiction and non fiction) in English and Marathi... books that made science interesting and fun. He was a guide and mentor to many students, and helped build and nurture India's premier astronomy and astrophysics institute, IUCAA in Pune. He served as IUCAA's Founding Director. I was fortunate to meet Dr. Narlikar a few times and will always remember those meetings. Amongst his many books, I would highly recommend his own autobiography, which he first wrote in Marathi and then translated it himself into English - 'My Tale of Four Cities'. He chronicles his entire life journey across Varanasi (he lived on the BHU campus, where his father was a Professor), Cambridge, Mumbai and Pune. Recently, he had also set up his own blog and published some interesting articles and memories there. Do check that out as well.

About 65 million years ago, an asteroid hit our planet and changed the course of life on Earth. Non-avian dinosaurs died, thus ending their reign. Walter Alvarez, a UC Berkeley geophysics professor, co-discovered (with his father, Nobel prize-winning physicist Louis Alvarez) the impact theory for dinosaur extinction. Their hypothesis was vindicated in 1991 when the massive Chicxulub Crater was discovered on the Yucatan Peninsula. Hear famous palaeontologist Steve Brusatte on the 21st May at the India International Centre, Delhi, on the rise and fall of these beasts. @GlobalAshoka @AshokaUniv
