1. My top imaging trick to trainees is that before they spend any time taking pictures of the data they just sit there for a while & look at the stuff. Like seriously, sit back, crank some tunes, get cozy & spend some quality time with your slides.

I keep reminding PhD students that THE most important outcome of a PhD is not their publications, conferences, awards etc., but they themselves after this journey. PhD is a learning process in how to learn new things, solve new problems you run into. Voices of Indian Academia Biopatrika

🌟 NEW! We are super excited to announce our collaboration with Tinkle Magazine to bring you an inspiring series of comics featuring brilliant women scientists from our institute! 👩‍🔬 The first comic features Dr. Deepti Trivedi, who heads the Drosophila facility at NCBS.

My hot take for the day is that having a couch for people to take naps on is as essential a lab's ability to function as any pricey & fancy lab equipment they might have. Science is thinking work & the best thinking is done by properly rested minds.

So often the thorns of academia get limelight over the perks! Apropos a conversation with Sriram Varahan , where else do you get paid to (1) formulate YOUR ideas, rally a team to test it and relish the data 📊, whatever it is! (2) You can read all day and drown in it and come

1. I feel like this is such obvious advice that it's taken for granted & so no one says this to young scientists but READ PAPERS, read all the papers. As you move up in your career you'll have a lot less time to do this. Read everything that appeals to you not just in your field

Too many people in academia only to lower your self-esteem!

Kudos to the team! Super excited for this.

As I finish my internship in the SCTH lab at ACTREC, under the guidance of Rohan Khadilkar and mentorship of Ujjayita Chowdhury. It was a journey full of learning and growth. This experience has sparked the passion in me for the research immensely. Very thankful for this opportunity. 🤗

Umfortunately, science has lost freedom, you will be suffocated and choked till a point, you are no more capable of free thinking...

Extremely grateful to my mentor Rohan Khadilkar for this opportunity to try my hand at scientific writing. It was a cherishing experience.
