I have now spent more time putting papers together for the conference visa (including finding funds) than I had in writing the abstract!
Do I miss not having gone to an international conference for the past several years?
A strong No!

Sh. Rajendra Kusre (Forester in Dindori) fought the Forest Fire 🔥 in his area the whole night. This took heavy toll on his health, & ultimately he lost his life.

Heartfelt condolences to the Forest Martyr 🇮🇳💐

I love this! I miss the feeling of bird feathers in my hand and the pain of beak bites on my fingers 🪶. Busy professional and personal lives, the publish or perish culture, and new funding priorities have drifted us away from the nature that inspires us💚 nature.com/articles/d4158…

Extremely saddened to share that three people lost their lives to a wild elephant in Assam yesterday. I write an obituary for Mr Biren Rabha, a forest official whom I spent countless days with. projectcroak.com/post/rememberi…
