Quite obvious that one of the scientists allegedly removed from the award list is theoretical physicist Suvrat Raju.

labor day is short for laboratory day. every grad student should be in the lab today

Strong evidence showing that getting a PhD is extremely bad for your mental health. A new paper uses Swedish medical records and matches them to the full population of PhD students for which the authors could get gender and birth year data from 2006 to 2017. After some exclusion

Has any town in America bothered to build a permanent structure for its farmers market? The farmers markets I’ve been to overseas were usually in lovely, central buildings. But here in the richest country on Earth, they’re usually in random scorching parking lots

India rarely if ever gets credit for its phenomenal effort in preserving biodiversity. Considering the million problems that we have it would have been easy to just drop the ball in this. But we didn’t. Hope to see cheetah rewilding succeed followed by more: ostrich, Hippos.

ooh yea ... productive 😌

A couple of years ago, I had taken a low resolution image of this. Here.

Indian immigrants, info to save you $2k. Don't fly back to India via Europe Just learned that airlines like Lufthansa are asking for a UK transit visa or a valid US visa to fly via London. So if you are going back to India to get your h1b/o1 visa stamped. And flying via any

Deeply saddened by the passing of the legendary tabla maestro, Ustad Zakir Hussain Ji. He will be remembered as a true genius who revolutionized the world of Indian classical music. He also brought the tabla to the global stage, captivating millions with his unparalleled rhythm.
