In BLR on Thursday (9th) to hire full-stack biologists, roboticists & ML researchers, as well as smart generalists in tech who want to help save lives instead of SaaS or 5-minute whatever. If this is you, reply with a link to the most interesting or impressive thing you've done.
Idea - a traffic simulation game that you can play while you are stuck at Hebbal, Silk Board etc.
Serious question - can the simulations be open-sourced and made available to public?

I seek to hear from BSc & MSc teachers of India. Would you like to run small research projects with your students? If so, I'd love to know i) if you would need help from a scientist/research facility, ii) would you design the project or a scientist should define the prob? RT pls

Would you like to get your students to think deeply and critically?
Here are some simple follow-up questions that help learners to think deeper, get everyone involved and creates a rich discourse in classrooms.

Here is an example of an exercise from the chapter on Figs! When we said that we take a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to teach biology... we meant it! 😁

You know, what is one of the toughest tasks in online teaching?
For me it is "Taking practical classes". Any suggestions if you find it easier.

.@gddiwan and @userSaurabh were PhD students with @DeepaAgashe who worked on understanding the evolution of key features of bacterial genomes using bioinformatics and phylogenetic analyses. They learnt all the tools they needed for their work on their own while in the lab!
Saurabh Mahajan retweeted
This paper reports on a giant phylogenetic and bioinformatics analysis by @gddiwan, to understand how bacterial tRNA modifications evolve. Turns out that genome guanine & cytosine (GC) content has a lot of say in what goes on with translation components!

A affordable, safe, and accessible bus service is a quintessential part of "smart cities". I say this as a big fan and regular (pre-pandemic) user of city bus services in Bangalore and before that in Nasik, Pune, and Delhi. Please do support this petition to rejuvenate BMTC...
Calling everyone to sign a petition and demand greater support for BMTC! 🚌 (1/4)

Meet postdoc @PSanjenbam! Her project – to understand the ecology & evolution of Methylobacterium communities associated with traditional #rice landraces – has been a fun collaboration with @shivaprasad_pv & @radhiven, though difficult, as very little was known about this system.
