Why do we remember things that we do everyday like our second nature? And, why do we forget things that we don't think about very much? Neuroscientists understand these at the level of neuronal connections. Mukund Sudharsan writes about it here: scitales.ccmb.res.in/the-minds-hidd… @CSIR_IND

Postdoc time is often harder than PhD. You have little time. Competition is higher. And you MUST stand out. + Your contract may end any moment. + Your salary is often low (for your age/education). + You’ve just relocated and prepare to relocate again. No wonder that Max Planck Society survey showed that depression and anxiety of postdocs is rising. Interestingly, Max Planck Institutes have substantial internal funding. So, in theory there should be less pressure to apply for grants, and everyone should be enjoying science. And yet the pressure on postdocs is immense. 📍 Many postdocs want to stay in academia. They want to apply for faculty positions or become senior scientists. Some of them achieve it. Others don’t. ❗️Why things don’t work out: In a recent workshop Q&A session, I discussed various scenarios and behind-the-scenes processes that PhD students should keep in mind if they’re considering a postdoc: “Postdocs: Competition, Hardship and Faculty Positions” Watch it on here: youtu.be/YJm9pyb5xwY (I’ll appreciate if you ‘like’ this video - you will GREATLY help it reach more students.)

How do you handle disappointments, the one companion in research none of us can escape? Over time, I have come to realize that how people respond to failure matters far more than the failure itself. The heuristics I rely on to navigate disappointments. 👇@ishwariyavenkatesh/dealing-with-disappointments-while-doing-science-9e34dcf5e0fd" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@ishwariyavenk…

Remembering today on his birth anniversary GN Ramachandran, the genius who should have got not one or two but three Nobel prizes - for Collagen; ΦΨ plot; and Tomography. Forget Nobel or Bharatratna, he wasn't even awarded a Padma - any Padma. A Forgotten Hero of Indian Science.

We are on the cover page of @embojournal. If you like it, please make some noise for my daughter, Suhani. We together, this is our 6th cover page 1/2 embopress.org/toc/14602075/4…

A proud and unprecedented moment for all of us! The outpouring of wishes from world leaders on PM @narendramodi ji’s 75th birthday reflects not just his vision and personal diplomacy, but also India’s rising stature on the global stage. 🇮🇳✨x.com/i/trending/196…

Seminal work.... Congratulations !!!!

Our work appearing in JACS shows that just a 1% transient exchanging population gives versatility to the protein function, implying that protein dynamics shapes function and not just the static structure. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja… @ACSPublications @ccmb_csir @global_nmr @J_A_C_S

The barbaric #PahalgamTerroristAttack is a direct assault on our nation's soul. Our thoughts are with the victims and their families. Justice must be swift and unforgiving. #PahalgamAttack

Excellent move!! thehindubusinessline.com/economy/no-gst…

Under the visionary leadership of Hon'ble Prime Minister @narendramodi, Bharat has demonstrated strong economic growth & is poised to be amongst the global best in the next industrial revolution fueled by biomanufacturing. @DrJitendraSingh @rajesh_gokhale @PMOIndia #BioE3Policy

@PenmatsaLab @rashtrapatibhvn @DBTIndia @India_Alliance @IndiaDST @EduMinOfIndia @EMBO_YIP Heartiest congratulations to you and your entire team 🎉🎉

Before I receive the VY-SSB award from Hon. @rashtrapatibhvn it is important for us @PenmatsaLab to acknowledge the funding agencies that have reposed faith in our research. Deeply grateful to @DBTIndia @India_Alliance @IndiaDST @EduMinOfIndia @EMBO_YIP

Update on the BCD hike: Prompt gazette notification confirms "no hike" with lab chemicals continuing to attract only 10% customs duty. Thanks to all the higher authorities for resolving this on priority.

Sl no. 15, 51/96- Customs refers to the validity of DSIR certificate until 31.03.2029. Hopefully, this settles the ongoing confusion.

The hike in BCD rate on lab chemicals under HS 9802 00 00 from 10% to 150% (effective 24.7.2024) will severely impact research. Urgent review is needed to support scientific progress! #ResearchFunding #IndiaBudget @FinMinIndia indiabudget.gov.in/doc/cen/dojstr…

Guys it appears resolved!! Thanks to all the highest authorities and leaders who took this on priority🙏🙏. Kudos!! @DBTIndia @IndiaDST @CSIR_IND @ICMRDELHI

@Chauhanlab_ILS @serb @DBTIndia @ICMRDELHI Sl no. 15, 51/96- Customs refers to the validity of DSIR certificate until 31.03.2029. Hopefully, this settles the ongoing confusion, mostly created by vendor emails.

Please tell me this is a misprint So that I will delete this. Lab chemicals custom duty increased from 10% to 150%? How we do research and whether funding agencies will compensate by reducing expectations or providing more funds? @serb @DBTIndia @ICMRDELHI
