Wonderfully articulated.
Why the IITKGP's IKS calendar is ludicrous and worrisome at the same time.

Biodiversity in Western ghats:
I had spotted all these types of moths on just one tree in one night near Mahabaleshwar.
Isn't it amazing?

Food for thought at our Teacher's Day @chaiandwhy session this Sunday! Listening to Prof. Arvind Kumar on any topic is always a pleasure, and this should be a absolute treat... Catch it live or watch the recording!
Our #TeachersDay special, Sunday 5th Sept. 11 AM IST will have Arvind Kumar, a distinguished physicist / educationist & ex-director @HBCSE_TIFR speak on how modern science often goes beyond and sometimes even against our intuition and common sense. #scicomm (1/2)

1. A thread breaking down @Sadhgurujv’s analysis of the model of the atom as promised:
March for Science Mumbai retweeted
Important thread on how peddlers of #pseudoscience change minor details from facts to give a very different tone to the story.
1. Thread about misconceptions that are spread regarding the science:
When someone like @Sadhgurujv makes really stupid statements to discredit how science works I can understand.
But when people with scientific training like Dr. B M Hegde do it, it’s really disappointing.

The question from everyone I speak with is when will this end? We are only at the start, and there is no easy way out. We need open, transparent, supportive measures to enable testing, care and isolation. And keep at the research with high quality, right-sized studies.

ALERT!
@eao_jcmt and @almaobs observations detect Phosphine (PH3) in venus atmosphere.
This can be a hint indicating presence of biological processes happening on Venus.
The year 2020 continues to astonish us.
Phosphine is to Venus as methane is to Mars? 20 parts-per-million of phosphine have been detected in the temperate clouds of Venus, and its source is not evident. Greaves et al.: nature.com/articles/s41550-0…

Prof. Govind Swarup (23 March 1929 - 7 September 2020) has passed away today. He was the father of Indian Radio Astronomy. The Ooty Radio Telescope and Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) stand as two of his gifts to generations of Indian astronomers.

How accessible is science - its process and methodology, to our students in India? What does the divide and inequity look like? Who has power to challenge the status quo? Some of my thoughts in @ScienceOnA inspired by my experience @ccmb_csir.
