Back from the ASI Symposium on Communicating Astronomy in India at IUCAA, Pune! 😍 Shared about our space scicomm efforts from @lifetoandbeyond, and it was amazing to connect with the astronomy community. 📡 Loved the tour of @IUCAAScipop and the #GMRT telescope. #SCAI2026

India’s 1st science research institute without british colonial support 🇮🇳🔬 @iacskolkata turns 150 this month. Founded 29 July 1876 by Dr. Mahendralal Sircar. Honored to visit this shrine of science ❤️ #IACSKolkata #Science #India

25th July 2026- A day to remember📚🇮🇳✒️ Compromised Education Minister of India resigns and Gen-Z students and supporter's demands met, Indian Democracy won again, after a long time! #GenZ #cjpprotest #EducationSystem #resigndharmendrapradhan #incredibleindia

Some days bring hope 🥹🤍 20th July 2026: Thousands of young Indians marched peacefully to Parliament for #education & #accountability. Not all battles are to win. Some are to show we were on the battlefield. The revolution is on. #StandwithIndia 🧡🤍💚 #IMD2026

Remembering Dr. J.V. Narlikar on his birth anniversary Scientist. Educationist. Social reformer. He taught us science is not about authority, it's about evidence. The best tribute: keep questioning, keep learning. #JVNarlikar #ScientificTemper #SciComm #SonamWangchuk

At least the little good left in this world should live on 🧡🤍💚 If you can: join the march to the Indian Parliament on 20th July in Delhi. If not: sign & share → lnkd.in/dN2DHk3P #SaveSonamWangchuk #SaveEducation #SaveIndia

Back at CRSI-NSC 2026 at IACS Kolkata for its 150th year 🎉 Shared small-scale chemistry demos with 50+ students to make electrochemistry, acid-base chemistry & redox click ⚗️ Science is about uncovering, not just covering 😉 #IACSKolkata #Chemistry #ScienceCommunication

June ends with #AsteroidDay ☄️ Missed The Beyonder's #Space Meet? Bruno Curjuric explored Galactic Habitability at Vilnius University🌌 Watch: youtu.be/zz5OX1mL97w Open to all next month 😉

Learning clicks when the unknown hides in the familiar 🌍 Last week in Asansol, 50+ students built astrolabes & sundials from origami, telling time in the 40°C sun ☀️⏳ Explored astronomy through Bengali words & daily life. Space belongs to everyone 🌌 #SpaceOutreach #STEM

The Beyonder's Initiative is opening up to all. Join us here: chat.whatsapp.com/JrDFF5U3CkR7wx… Join us for The Beyonder's Monthly Space Meets from June 2026 onwards. #SpaceEducation #Habitability #Space #TheBeyondersInitiative

Yoga Beyond Earth🧘‍♂️✨ From Earth to orbit, yoga has travelled beyond boundaries supporting astronauts in maintaining flexibility, mindfulness, and well-being during space missions. #Yoga #HumanSpaceflight #InternationalYogaDay #SpaceExploration #Astronaut

June 18, 1983: Sally Ride became 1st American woman in space 🚀 Physicist, astronaut, STEM icon — and 1st known LGBTQ+ astronaut 🏳️‍🌈 Space belongs to everyone ✨ #SallyRide #PrideMonth #SpaceForAll

63 years back, it took a pioneer like #ValentinaTereshkova to fly as the first woman beyond the Kármán line into #space. On this very day, June 16 in 1963, she orbited Earth 48 times aboard Vostok 6. If she could find her place in space, we can too ;) #WomenInSTEM #History

Life comes full circle through the smallest experiments 🧪✨ From a Chemistry student to my first #Chemistry Education opportunity at @iacskolkata! Presenting DIY Electrochemical Writing on Turmeric-NaCl Paper ⚡ Making Chemistry simple, accessible & fun. Grateful. More soon 😉

No, the Sun isn’t overhead at noon everywhere 🌏☀️ Today Kolkata had a #ZeroShadowDay at around 11:36 AM. Got to engage students from near Dumdum 💚. Mild rain, then clear skies. Hot, but worth it 🥵😍 #WorldEnvironmentDay #Astronomy #Kolkata

Take #Pride 🏳️‍🌈 — we’re all in Space 🌠 700+ humans in space, yet no openly LGBTQIA+ astronaut. 12 walked on the Moon — all men. Space is vast. Our mindset should be too 💡 Representation matters. #PrideMonth #SpaceForAll #Diversity

All 'bout #ASI2026, Guwahati, Assam 🇮🇳 From experiencing #NorthEast, to sharing about #Space and #Astronomy #Scicomm efforts @lifetoandbeyond to conducting my debut #outreach in NE #India and networking with Astronomy professionals and enthusiasts from across 🇮🇳 and the globe😍.

Remembering #RajaRamMohanRoy on his 254th birth anniversary 🤍 At a time when institutions are tested, free expression is challenged, and rational thought often faces resistance, Roy’s legacy reminds us of the power of #criticalthinking, #secularism, #humanity and #socialreform.

Carl Sagan asked, "Who speaks for Earth?" 🌏 For 100 years, Sir #DavidAttenborough did 💚 From zero-G with NASA in 1984 🚀 to decades of showing us why our pale blue dot matters. Happy 100th, Sir David 🎂 Thank you for a century of wonder. #PlanetEarth #ClimateAction
