Why doesn't India have a national research museum for natural history? How does this absence affect conservation efforts? Here are my thoughts.

🦴 The absence of a national institution for biological and fossil collections threatens conservation in one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots

Lab alumnus Debarati Chattopadhyay has joined @IISER_BERHAMPUR as an Assistant Professor (Gr-1)! 🎉
She did her PhD in my lab @iiserkol, working on the morphological evolution of marine calcifiers.

Congratulations, Debarati—wishing you all the best in this exciting new chapter!

National Science Day ‘26 at @IISERPune! 🌸

Our Paleobiology Lab team shared the wonders of Earth’s history through fossils & games on evolution. Great to chat about Sclerochronology & Conservation Paleobiology with such a curious crowd! 🐚

Completed my very first PhD fieldwork a month back 🙌

Huge thanks to @Devapriya_Chat and my Paleobiology labmates at IISER Pune for such an incredible opportunity and learning experience. Had a blast! 🌊🐚

Museums are time capsules of biodiversity. We argue for making #India’s natural history collections accessible & integrating them with modern tools for #ecology, #evolution & #conservation research while #biodiversity faces multiple threats due to global change

Big questions in #paleontology?

In a global effort involving ~ 200 scientists from 30+ countries, we identified the key questions shaping the future of paleontology.

Our work is now published in Paleobiology!
