It was a great honor to deliver a TIFR colloquium that was started by the founding director, Dr. Homi Bhabha in the 1950s Tata Institute of Fundamental Research. Thank you all for asking brilliant questions. And hsd a nice dinner at a Konkani restaurant in Hotel Taj President Mumbai with Ankona & Jyotishman Dasgupta.

An important investigation has been opened into the death of a scientist who was studying prion diseases in Spain. Tragic story my condolences to friends and family. If confirmed this makes the fourth death in recent years. Safety must be #1 priority. english.elpais.com/science-tech/2…
