25 years ago: June 1997. I was selected for the highly competitive & coveted integrated PhD (MS + PhD) program at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore. My life changed forever. Whatever little I have done, I owe it to IISc. I narrate a fascinating story. Read on (1/n)

On 28 February 1928, Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman discovered the Raman effect. The Raman effect is the change in the wavelength of light that occurs when a light beam is deflected by molecules.

Today, we celebrate Founder's Day, the birth anniversary of JN Tata, who envisioned & endowed IISc's establishment. On this occasion, a flower show is organised every year by the nursery staff around the Tata statue & the Main Building. Photos: KG Haridasan, Ratikanth Gokulkar

On #IIScOpenDay2023, come visit the Chemical Sciences Pavillion at the Chemical Sciences building, with experiments/demos from the departments of organic chemistry, solid state and structural chemistry, inorganic and physical chemistry, and materials research centre.

Perovskites offer great promise in generating solar energy. Scientists at IISc and elsewhere are exploring ways to improve and scale up their production. Read more at: kernel.iisc.ac.in/shining-a-ligh… #IIScresearch

Indeed, it was an incredible honor to present the annual report of the solid state and structural chemistry unit at IISc, Bangalore. Thanks to Prof. Kamat, Prof. Mugesh, Prof. Kulkarni and Prof. Maksym Kovalenko for gracing the occasion.

Was referencing Jillian Dempsey 's "Beginner’s Guide to Cyclic Voltammetry" (as one does), and noticed it has 1 million + article views (!!!) Highlights how important this type of #SciComm is - we need more articles like this! Let's teach the field like Jillian did

Very nice article!! A must-read for beginners!!

Thrilled to share our new study of anti-Bredt olefins in Science Magazine. Congrats to the authors for this nicely timed study, 100 yrs after “Bredt’s Rule” came to be. Read it here: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… @ucla UCLA Chem & Biochem Ken Houk
