My Address after laying foundation stone of Rs 42 cr BioFoundary at the ‘National Agri-Food and Biomanufacturing Institute’ #NABI #Chandigarh: Key takeaways: “In the emerging global food scenario of lab foods including  animal free lab milk and lab mutton, the world is faced with rising global protein demand and environmental concerns requiring alternative and sustainable solutions. And therefore, “smart proteins” developed through microbial fermentation, plant biotechnology and synthetic biology offer a scalable and sustainable pathway for the future of food.  BioFoundaries like this can serve as ‘Smart Protein Forum’ bringing together research and industry to accelerate innovation in this emerging sector. The new facility will provide advanced infrastructure including large-scale fermenters, upstream and downstream processing systems, and high-throughput experimental platforms. It will also support #StartUps and industry through scale-up, pre-commercialisation and technology transfer, while also serving as a skill development hub for young professionals and entrepreneurs in biotechnology”.

@SciDip @aaas @TWASnews Is there any possibility of support for participants from India?

Big news for aspiring science diplomats: @AAAS and @TWASnews are seeking candidates to take part in our annual course on #sciencediplomacy to be held July 20-23 in Trieste, Italy! Participant pairs should apply by January 29: aaas.org/events/call-ap…

@SciDip @aaas @TWASnews Happy New Year to all the organisers of this wonderful course. I have a small query regarding financial support eligibility. I noticed that India is not included in the list of countries eligible for financial assistance, while countries such as China and South Africa are listed.

Request to @RailwayNorthern @AshwiniVaishnaw The new seats in the local trains running between #Banihal and #Baramulla are quite uncomfortable. The hard plastic seats offer minimal back support and no headrest, making travel difficult for elderly and women commuters.
