Happy to share our latest preprint, demonstrating an interesting switch between Red TADF to NIR Room Temperature Phosphorescence from structurally fused Terrylene Diimides doi.org/10.26434/chemr… Sankar Lab Kundan Singh Mehra Debashree Ghosh MANDIRA DEY

That was an excellent talk by Prof Rainer Herges, who recently visited us Dept of Chemistry, IISER Bhopal. Lots of interesting discussions… Thanks to Prof. Rainer Herges, and our department for hosting.

PhD is NOT about learning how to work 12h / day. It is NOT about mastering the art of working on weekends. PhD is about learning how to be efficient. How to spend much less time on the same task. How to work smart and creatively. It's kind of obvious, but... Instead of
