Due to the uncertainties posed by the pandemic, the CSIR-NET exam is likely to be deferred to at least the middle of July 2021. We cannot hold the exam putting people at risk.

This meme is a bandwagon and so is #eDNA so I thought it was only appropriate to jump on! Behold, types of environmental DNA papers:

Review online: Cyanobacteria and biogeochemical cycles through Earth history - from my group, @token_indie_kid and Andy Knoll. Check it out. authors.elsevier.com/a/1dLfq,L%7EyC…

Do you wonder what #eDNA is made of and how it persists? So did we, check out our preprint. We welcome feedback. Thanks team COVID project! @lynseyrharper Quentin Mauvisseau Hannah Kleyer Bob Hanner and Michi Sanders! doi.org/10.22541/au.16…

Update: CSIR-NET-UGC to be held on 29/1/2022. Two more rounds to be held after this in 2022. Details will follow. HRDGCSIR #csirnet

We broke the world record in ancient DNA today! 2-million-year-old DNA from plants and animals were retrieved from geological deposits and show that North Greenland was once home to an open boreal/arctic community incl. mastodon. nature.com/articles/s4158… natureasia.com/en/research/hi…

My favourite Kolkata souvenir is this Kalighat style painting of a couple taking a selfie by Sonali Chitrakar. Met her & learned about her work at #MishtiHadirKotha, Old Town Hall. Perfect Valentines gift to my husband!

Was great to catch up with several 🐟🐡🐠 colleagues for a meeting on #invasive #species at CCMB thehindu.com/news/national/… Thanks to Dr.G.Umapathy for the invite and his team Gopi Krishnan Manu Shivakumara Manisha Ray | মনীষা রায় for organizing a really productive meeting!

Microbiology must be represented at climate change talks "Microbes are also intimately connected to climate change beyond methane or CO2 production. Yet #microbes [& related words] do not appear in the IPCC Climate Change 2023 Synthesis Report." #climate nature.com/articles/s4156…

My first research paper is now published in Journal of Molecular Evolution! doi.org/10.1007/s00239… Happy reading!

Looking forward to meet and present a part of my PhD's work in ivis isme portillo on 20th August! This is my 1st time being part of this conference and I was wondering if anyone else from India is attending this?

Environmental DNA or eDNA allows wildlife biologists to monitor various life forms inhabiting a place by detecting their DNA from places like water bodies. As this tool gains momentum, we have started training on the various applications of eDNA. CSIR, India

It was a rewarding experience to be part of 19th International Symposium on Microbial Ecology (#ISME19) and to present my work in Cape Town last week. Interacting with new people and knowing about the research happening worldwide, left me with more food for thought!

Many congratulations to Manisha Ray | মনীষা রায় for securing the travel grant from International Symposium of Microbial Ecology and DST-SERB to participate in the 19th edition of the symposium at Cape Town, South Africa. CSIR, India Dr.G.Umapathy
