We recently conducted a teacher-training workshop for our Graduate students, to introduce them to the fundamentals of teaching. This insightful session was led by Dr. Vetti Giri, Asst. Prof in Science Education, Azim Premji University #education #teaching #ScienceEducation

Happy to be attending #SMBE2024 in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and excited to present a poster about our work on pedigree reconstruction of a wild tiger population ! Check out poster number 151 on Day 3 for more on inbreeding, mating patterns and non-invasive genomics. Uma Ramakrishnan

What a fabulous group of early career and established researchers at ICTS, India. Uma Ramakrishnan B.R. Ansil

Very sorry to hear that the conservationist & forest officer GV Reddy is no more. He did outstanding work in Rajasthan and also during a sabbatical in Indonesia. Soft spoken to a fault he was liked by the civil society and the forest department alike. May his soul rest in peace!

Happy to share a fantastic work from Harshith C Y part I of his PhD thesis, now in Cell Reports. We report a stepwise signalling cascade involving two different peptides in rice wound-responses. Rice activates growth very quickly post-wounding unlike dicots cell.com/cell-reports/f…

Dr. Reddy had touched the lives of so many wildlife conservationists. Most part of my work wouldn't have been possible without him. He not only discussed research with me but also taught me how to approach wildlife related questions in India. Rest in Piece. We will miss you. 🙏

We're delighted to announce a call for research fellows and scholars-in-residence to engage with our collections! Details: archives.ncbs.res.in/scholars Application deadline for Round 1: August 9, 2024 (Image: MS-007-6-2-OS4-7, MS Swaminathan Papers, Archives at NCBS)

The past is fascinating! DNA from the past takes us back in time. What were tigers like? How connected were populations? What have we lost? We have sequenced genomic DNA from historical tigers in India. Exciting news on global tiger day! Stay tuned for more.

Hard working TAs and 𝕊𝕒𝕞𝕞𝕪 𝕎𝕒𝕞𝕓𝕦𝕒 (𝗧𝗮𝘁𝗮) preparing for the two workshops ahead Pwani University. This year we have two exciting workshops. One is a 3 day course on wildlife genomics and a 2 week course on population genetics with African BioGenome Project Rasmus Heller

Insect herbivores are one of the biggest enemies of rice plants. When insects attack, rice respond in several ways to deal with the damage. Dr. Shiva prasad & team, aimed at identifying the molecular secrets of wound response in rice.🌾 Read here: bit.ly/4cdIf8G

Sexual harassment in science: biologists in India speak out nature.com/articles/d4158… An unsurprising but nevertheless sad state of affairs. The power imbalance is too great and lack of support from the system - both social and administrative does not help.
