Honored to present my PhD research at the #G20India organized by Ministry of Education at IISER Pune today. I talked about how insects sniff out their food amidst the dense forests of the Western Ghats 🍃🐞. #G20 #G20Pune

Our EMN Awardee, Manish Kumar (Manish Kumar, Ph.D.) will present his work on Wednesday 21st, Session 15 at 10.15 am #EMNAwards #MetSoc2023

Had a great pleasure presenting my PhD work from @iiserpune at the prestigious metabolomics conference #MetSoc2023 by Metabolomics Society at Niagara Falls, Canada! Immensely grateful to EMN Metabolomics Society, SERB, & @infosys for their generous travel support that made this possible.

Happy to share this. Pudhari news paper, Maharashtra featured our research conducted in IISER Pune. Our team- Sagar Pandit, D M Firake, Ashish Deshpande, Dennis Dennis Metze, Surhud Surhud Sant, Maruf Maroof Shaikh, @abcelab.

Last day of the Max Planck Partner Group “Molecular and Chemical Ecology of Plant Biotic Interactions” Kick-off Workshop organized by Jonathan Gershenzon and Sagar Pandit at IISER Pune. Three days of high-level scientific exchange with inspiring talks and posters and great hosts.

Looking forward to the next few days of exciting chemical ecology- see you soon at #ISCE2023 International Society of Chemical Ecology

Had a wonderful time at the Max Planck Partner Group Meeting with so many exciting talks and wonderful people! Not to mention an adventurous river crossing and Western Ghats visit 😂 It was a pleasure to organize this meeting as a lab. Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology

Thrilled to wrap up #ISCE2023 International Society of Chemical Ecology at IISc Bangalore with a Best Talk award tied with two amazing speakers! Lovely to have our IISER Pune lab group here reunited with our alumna 🎉 #grateful

#congrats to ISRO and all institutions part of the #AdityaL1Mission!! Closer home, #iiserpune congratulates Prof Bhas Bapat and his previous team at PRL Ahmedabad on their contribution to the mission!! PRL Ahmedabad Ministry of Education

Congratulations Nilam Malankar and all the other authors!! Your hard work has paid off 😍🎉

Congratulations Dennis Metze and all the other authors for this exciting work!! 🎉👏

Mark your calendars for the 2025 Gordon Research Seminar: Plant-Herbivore Interactions! Kick-starting the conference preps soon. Very much looking forward to co-chairing with the lovely @jesskansperson 😁

Not just a smirking Dwight Schrute who says, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Come read how we can use Dwight's formula to protect food from pests 🐛 My first article with SciCommCentral is here! scicommcentral.com/articles/joini…

📢 Deadline approaching! Apply to the Plant-Herbivore #GRS by Nov 3rd for the opportunity to give a talk about your research!

New publication with Rutwik Bardapurkar! We fed miRNA to Plutella xylostella through diet & compared gene regulation efficacies of the pre- and ds-mature miRNA forms across larval instars and administration times 🧬

Only about two weeks left to register for the Plant-Herbivore Interaction GRC! It was life-changing for me when I attended in 2010. We will cover a lot of ground. Only one session at a time and the atmosphere is rigorous and welcoming. Please repost this: grc.org/plant-herbivor…
