This is the newly installed Fixed Ion Bean-SEM at AIIMS New Delhi. Credit goes to my ex-supervisor Prof. S.C. Yadav, AIIMS New Delhi. He has also been a visiting faculty at Stanford. I was working as DST Nanomission Fellow under him before joining as Assistant Professor in Bihar.

I volunteered as a subject for an interesting neuroscience experiment being conducted at Department of Physiology, AIIMS, New Delhi. They are studying effects of meditation in reducing mental stress. It was fun! #Neuroscience #yoga #meditation #MentalWellness #AIIMS

One of my wildest research ideas was to use nanotechnology in taxonomy and it worked! This preliminary work paves way for more such innovations in taxonomy which otherwise is looked upon as a stagnant area. doi.org/10.1155/2022/1… EvolutionIndia Wiley #nanotechnology

It reminds me of the opening line of Leo Tolstoy's masterpiece novel Anna Karenina. It reads as: "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." #MentalHealthMatters #MentalWellness #leotolstoy #annakarenina
