Fully funded #PhD studentship in my group! The main aim of this project is to produce the first molecular genetics and biochemical data on the role of zinc in the physiological adaptation of cold-adapted #diatoms.

Mital Thacker and I wrote a popular science article about the #diatoms from the Myristica swamps of the #WesternGhats published in Vigyan Prasar Dream2047. Research supported by MoES GoI Agharkar Research Institute

Sediments revealing climate and environmental changes on the Kaas Plateau captured around 8000 years BP! 🌍 Findings published in Elsevier @ELSenviron Quaternary Science Advances - work led by Mital Thacker and team from Agharkar Research Institute NCESS, MoES

Immense pleasure to present a brief of my work through a short 5-minute presentation in राष्ट्रीय संयुक्त राजभाषा वैज्ञानिक संगोष्ठी- 2024. An enriching experience of using the language Hindi. Thank you Agharkar Research Institute Karthick Balasubramanian for giving me this opportunity.

The article highlights the life and legacy of 𝐇𝐏 𝐆𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐡𝐢 and his significant contribution to #diatom research in the Ahmedabad edition of The Times Of India, by Paul John. Another unsung hero in the world of Indian science.
