Who in their right senses thought that it would be a great idea to take away the joy of seeing some daylight after a long day of work and instead just step into darkness right out of office?! #DaylightSaving

Dear America, I hope after today, no one comes to me saying that Indians are misogynistic.. we elected a woman prime minister even back in the 60s.. #Election2024

Remember the guy who predicted almost all the election results correctly? He was wrong this time.. so don’t feel bad about yourself!

Proud of this colleague who happen to be my life partner! Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences High impact research paper award for Dr. Cibin Raj. Also, that’s the coolest plaque I have ever seen (a figure from the paper is embedded in there!😮)

This is every researcher’s dream! Millions of people reading your PhD dissertation abstract! No one will dare to ask you to demonstrate broader impact of your work.

Thank you for penning this down!! Giving up hijab need not mean giving up your faith. I feel so much safer walking without a hijab here and have huge respect for those who fearlessly wear them!💕

My husband is trying to control his calorie intake. I made some yummy chicken curry today. After he was done eating, he went for more and I asked “Aren’t you dieting?” to which he replied “My body, my choice!!” 😂

Had an amazing time at #AWRA2025 conference. And what a great keynote talk by Nicole Hallingstad . I am grateful to have learned so much about Alaska and its Native lands with this one conference!

For a change, I asked “why” to everything my toddler said. After a few rounds, she just replied “That’s a good question!” I think she’s ready for academia!
