A year ago, a non-academic friend listened to a talk I gave. I thought it went great. My friend disagreed. She said that academics are experts at making interesting stuff boring—and that we should all take a speech class. So I did. And here are 6 most useful things I learned.

This gets more relatable each day.

Our latest research on the role of anti-apoptotic protein, Api5 in breast tumorigenesis has been published with Springer Nature in BMC Cancer . Thank you Abhijith Kuttanamkuzhi, Debiprasad Panda, Radhika Malviya and Gautami Gaidhani. rdcu.be/daECv

Check out our recent exciting work on understanding the role of #Api5 in #Breast #Cancer published in BMC rdcu.be/daECv. We identified the various nodes that Api5 regulates and promotes breast carcinogenesis.

Congratulations and thanks to all the people who have contributed to the work. Especially Mayurika Lahiri for your wonderful support and guidance. Also thanks to Debiprasad Panda , Gautami Gaidhani and Radhika Malaviya
