Still remember picking up Good Omens at a local library 15 years ago because it was near the Discworld collection and it was my introduction to the fantastic world of @neilhimself. Forward to last week I was both Crowley and Anathema for #luccacomics having the Best of End times!
Failed experiments in lab do not mean that you are a failure. Failed experiments in lab mean that you are a researcher.
Successful researchers aren't those who never face failure, but rather those who ask for advice, troubleshoot problems, and keep trying new things.
What will it take for our field to recognize that the answer to bias and misogyny is not more bias and misogyny? The answer is addressing biased systems and changing the reward structure.

Fighting #COVID19 | Don't Stigmatize
It's important that there is no stigma around COVID19. This is a contagious viral disease; almost anyone can get affected by it. Stigma can lead to under reporting, misinformation & lack of cooperation. It takes all of us to win this battle.
I used to think there were 2 types of scientist:
-Those who naturally had heaps of great ideas for new projects
-Those who didn’t have that ability.
I ‘knew’ I was the 2nd type & would never be a great scientist because of it.
Ever felt the same? Read on 🧵#phdchat
Over 200 million Muslims call India home. Widespread anti-Muslim mob violence has killed at least 27 and injured many more. Trump responds by saying, "That's up to India." This is a failure of leadership on human rights.

Dear Indian uncles who have spent years with silent pent up bigotry and racism in them who now casually pass that off as patriotism because it matches the govt narrative,
Hating people isn't the same thing as loving India.
You're not a patriot, you're a goddam creep.

When government picks a side, neutrality becomes nothing but a tool to validate oppression.
Sir, most of us, the students who protested yesterday, were not born then. Our sincere apologies for that.
For our inspiration please tell us how you helped the Kashmiri Pandits in 1990.
Over the last few hours, a couple of us have conclusively identified 7 of the masterminds of tonight’s JNU attack with their detailed names & descriptions.
Did your job @DelhiPolice since u won’t.

SOS 🆘 A masked mob has entered JNU & is attacking students and faculty members with sticks. It's a murderous attack. The JNUSU president Aishe Ghosh is badly injured as are several teachers. Pl ask @DelhiPolice to act, call the police.
This is dismaying. We used to be a proud democracy, an example to the world: https://t.co/M1MU3CyJVT No democracy punishes freedom of expression. I call on @DrRPNishank to instruct @iitmadras to withdraw the expulsion & allow India to hold its head high in the academic world.
