@ORCID_Org AMS has issued more than 1.3 million author IDs called MR ID and it is used in MathSciNet. Has there been any effort to sync MR ID with ORCID? Should not ORCID and AMS managements discuss this idea? MR ID is parochial to math and ORCID is for all of science and scholarship.
@ORCID_Org A welcome move! But many of the world's mathematicians may not yet have their ORCID iD. MathSciNet assigns them an MR iD. They have assigned >1.3 million MR iD. It would be good if each one of them also has a corresponding ORCID iD. ORCID and AMS may sit together and discuss.
@romangautam You say, "One way to read the piece is as a treasure hunt: see how many parallels you can spot between the perfidious prophet's visions and the realities of India today. Dive in and try it" Which piece? Give the title and url of the article you want us to read.
@chidu_narayanan@Fintech03 That is what I remarked earlier today. Some people choose to live that way, keep themselves away from the limelight. Eventually, people would come to know of them through their work.
@Fintech03 When people talk of TIFR, they think of H J Bhabha. Not many seem to know the great contributions made by D D Kosambi and Komaravelu Chandrasekharan. Is it do with their personality, the way they chose to live? I am new to this series. Have you written about Dr S S Pillai?
@Hsnshjaj@TheRocketMediaX Ever heard of Yellapragada SubbaRow? He was a 'Telugu.' Many schoolkids who won the Spelling Bee contest in the US are from Telugu-speaking families. Prof. C R Rao, the great statistician, is another.
@Meets_98778@TheRocketMediaX Har Gobind Khorana and S Chandrasekhar went to the US and became Nobel Laureates. Y Subbarao migrated to the US and invented a host of life-saving drugs. Serving the world is what is important. Watson and Venky Ramakrishnan left the US to work in the UK, and both won the Nobel.
@Meets_98778@TheRocketMediaX Ramanujan served as a clerk in India. When he went to Cambridge, he became known as one of the all-time greats in math. Most city-dwellers in today's India are migrants from villages, some of them in the back of the beyond. How many of them serve their villages?
@Shakt1_@TheRocketMediaX China faced the same problem. But they solved it well. The Govt systematically facilitated the return of the natives and they were given facilities and environment very nearly equal to what they had in the West. We also had returnee programmes like TOKTEN but didn't succeed.
@anxious599@TheRocketMediaX Tell us more about Ashish Vaswani and Niki Parmar. Being born in a small town/village/hamlet or into a family in the lower rungs of India's obnoxious caste hierarchy need not be an insurmountable barrier to doing great things in later life.
@karthik2k2@NMenonRao Thanks very much Mr Karthik Balachandran (and Ms Nirupama Menon Rao). Honestly, most Indians of the current generation, including many scientists, may not have heard of Dr Rehman (and Dr Y Subbarao). At least there is a biography of Dr Rao. Is there one of Dr Rehman?
@dilip2904@karthik2k2 Please name the more than hundred Indian scientists, who in your opinion, should have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Phys, Chem and Medicine.
@OpenAlex_org I have forgotten my OpenAlexAPI key and I want to generate a new one. Please tell me how to go about it. I would prefer step by step instructions. Thanks.
@SuchitNanda 2. Actually, we really know nothing, contrary to what many people imagine. We learn from people we meet and circumstances we find ourselves in. It is the external world which shapes your mind and character. There are rare exceptions, the Swayambus.
@SuchitNanda I know it well. I learnt first from my mother, then from my Children's Home owner/Head/Director/Chairman/Above all a caring person, when I was 5-7 years old. Then from many other teachers and of course, when I am in my mid-fifties from MSS.
@larrypress Because the American citizens, in their collective wisdom, made him the President of USA, and he went one step ahead and believes (and acts like) he is the monarch of the universe.
@Ananth_IRAS There was another, a bit less-known classic by Bartley and Bannerjee (I am not sure about the spelling of both names). It was the prescribed text for PUC students of Alagappa College, Karaikudi, TN, 1956-57 batch.
