The NCBS Archives is all set to present yet another fabulous public lecture. BLOCK YOUR CALENDAR for 4pm, tomorrow; Haapus Lecture Hall, NCBS campus.

Here’s a timely follow up to the #decolonizetheInternet conference, @WhoseKnowledge ! chronicle.com/article/Archiv…

The NCBS #Archives Public Lecture series returns with a talk by Tarangini Sriraman of @azimpremjiuniv. “In Pursuit of Proof: A History of Identification Documents in India” tells the story of how proof of identity & entitlement is sought & made in the urban margins of #India.

“The act of telling the truth is an act of freedom, but it’s also an act of great risk.” Marginalized communities face huge challenges in sharing their knowledge online - including the threat of hostility and violence both online and offline. #DecolonizetheInternet #Wikimania2018

The democracy is many things—bewildering, inspiring, chaotic, empowering, frustrating, meaningful. Occasionally, it’s also cute. Karnataka, 2018.

Major kudos to Usha Ramanathan, Shyam Divan, Gopal Subramanian, Arvind Datar, Meenakshi Arora & the strong legal team, for challenging this at the highest bar, the right to life. @gautambhatia88 @prasanna_s @SFLCin for opening up justice & those who trended what needed trending. twitter.com/gautambhatia88…

@thattai @NCBS_Bangalore Been feeling that NCBS and similar institutions need field stations in Bangalore :) This is a terrific idea!

@1amnerd Thanks for the shout-out! Like most things, it’s the collective effort of dozens of students and specialists. Hope the archive becomes a new public+research space and lives up to expectations.

Everything is terrible but my cousin’s 9-year old daughter Alice has been quietly and masterfully slaying the @NewYorker’s caption contest and it’s pure delight.
