And we're all set with preparations for our session on batteries. From lots of lemons to salt bridges and various kinds of batteries cut open to see their insides, it promises to be exciting! #scicomm

Congrats Team India at IMO! Decades of amazing students & passionate mentors believing in the joy of math + solid national support lead to such sustained excellence. 193: our highest team score so far! Fun fact: cricket fans may note—193 was India’s target at Lord's last week!

It's wonderful when the Olympiad programme gets a shout out from the very top! India's stellar performances at the Int'l Olympiads in Math. and the various Sciences, especially lately, is a result of perseverance over decades, spearheaded by HBCSE & supported by DAE India

Congrats maneesha narayanan!! I learnt so much about β-Ga₂O₃ (& good mallu food😊) thanks to you. As the S&G song goes ... Sail on, silver girl Sail on by Your time has come to shine All your dreams are on their way ... Dream big and fly high!

T-5 days and counting.... The sheer backend work needed to prepare for an international olympiad. Just guess how many things need to into every backpack that the visiting student will get! All meticulously packed and made ready.

The brainpower at IOAA is truly next-level! High school students dive into questions that would make many PhD students break a sweat. The science olympiads aren’t just tough—they showcase phenomenal young talent & scientific curiosity. #IOAA2025, coming to Mumbai next week!

Behind every international Olympiad: a print zone busier than a copy shop! Once questions are set and translated, our IOAA team races thru the night to print, seal, and deliver the right exam papers to every student, on time—precision under pressure! #IOAA2025 #BehindTheScenes

isn't it amazing when an OTT star stops by the centre wanting to help us spread the news on #IOAA2025?! Had a wonderful time engaging with Amol during his visit to the centre!

What better than a Chai and Why? session on Olympiads while the IOAA 2025 🇮🇳 is happening in town? A session by the President of the IOAA Aniket Sule himself! Do join in, it is a lot easier than the Olympiad itself😊 #scicomm

This should be very cool!! The Tata Institute of Fundamental Research Low Temperature Facility, ably led by Dr. K.V. Srinivasan not only produces cryogens like Liquid He & Liquid N2 supporting our research, but has also designed and developed several critical components for cryocoolers.

The world isn't exact & approximations are more useful to deal with the real world. Piyush Srivastava will takes us on a historical journey of how approximations have helped understand the world. In person Prithvi Theatre & on YT Live (no chai!) youtube.com/live/Vsa0x4P8G… #scicomm
