Reminder: We'll be Prithvi Theatre (cafe) today with fun puzzles from cake-cutting to rent-splitting. A bit of clever geometry, and some colouring can lead to envy-free solutions. No background in math required - need just your curiosity! In-person only, no livestream #scicomm

This Sunday, we take you on a virtual visit to "Protein Biochemistry Lab" to see how proteins react to stretching, dunking, crowding, and even bombarding with salts and heavy metals. And why these studies are scientifically exciting!
