@KingOfPathogens @iPEARLabs @bitspilaniindia @NatureMicrobiol Yes, thank you! It was a pleasure to present your work. It sparked some great discussion in the lab. 🙂

@iPEARLabs @bitspilaniindia @vaibsweb @NatureMicrobiol I hope it fared well.......

🔬 Journal Club Highlights iPEARL, @bitspilaniindia @vaibsweb presented a recent @NatureMicrobiol study, led by @KingOfPathogens, that reshapes our understanding of how the latent stage of Toxoplasma gondii interacts with the host immune system. linkedin.com/posts/ipearl_i…

@ramgopal_rao Grateful for your leadership in highlighting these issues. Encouraging to see @bitspilaniindia at 0% retractions on the Research Integrity Index. Hopefully, with continued awareness, we can aim for 0% in delisted journals too, taking inspiration from @TIFRScience.

Time our regulatory bodies and ranking agencies take notice. The Research Integrity Index has now exposed how institutions are gaming publishing metrics. Ranking agencies (unfortunately even NIRF) are incentivising this behaviour. Inaction from our regulatory bodies only makes it worse. We need course correction before credibility is permanently damaged. Govt must also mandate the international ranking agencies to correct their ways. @ugcIndia @aicteIndia @NAAC_India @dpradhanbjp @PMOIndia sciencechronicle.in/2025/06/12/a-r…

🐟 New research led by the Ahrens Lab reveals how astrocytes trigger a biochemical circuit that regulates neuronal activity in zebrafish, causing the fish to stop swimming when they aren’t getting anywhere – a behavior critical for survival. ➡️ janelia.org/news/on-the-si…

During deep sleep, exercise and other select times, our blood-brain barrier creaks open to let in just the right molecules. Scientists are increasingly seeing the barrier as a dynamic system. (From 2023) quantamagazine.org/how-the-brain-…
