Dr. Ajith Kumar was one of our best. Deeply engaged with the forests and his students, he combined rigour and intensity in teaching with the stimulation of love and appreciation of the natural world around us. His presence was ubiquitous, and he was always available to travel, teach and get involved. He will be much missed.
Failure is always in the background of any creative project; when the experiments are not working or the results don’t seem to make sense. But for discovery, you can’t deny yourself the permission to fail, and we should better teach failure in all its glory.
It's my first published work. Very excited.
Working with Archishman and @shaon_chak is very exciting. Thanks for the amazing mentorship.
Read Shaon's thread to get a glimpse of our work if you are interested.
New to #ubiquitin? Been with it for a while? Either way this review may be for you 🤩:

I'm very happy to announce that I have retired! I'm equally happy that @janetiwasa has agreed to continue the Molecule of the Month @buildmodels. Read about this at https://t.co/fs5LBpfL9E
This neuroscientist worked until she was 103.
She also:
• Won a Nobel Prize at 77
• Became a senator at 92
• Stayed mentally sharp into her 100s
Her secret? 5 daily habits that prevented brain aging: 🧵
I am glad to share this news with you all:)
.
Thanks to my PhD mentor @DimpleNotani@NCBS_Bangalore@TIFRScience and family & friends for all their support!
I am also grateful to the late @RNTata2000 for an extraordinary group of institutions nationwide!
#PhDone! Congratulations Dr Sweety! 🎓

“Excited to share a preprint of part of my thesis work! 🧬 This study highlights fascinating structural insights into WT and Fmr1 KO hESC ribosomes. Thankful to all the co-authors. Feedback is most welcome! #ribosome#hESCs#StructuralBiology@NCBS_Bangalore@TIFRScience
Please repost. We are offering a rare opportunity to work as a postdoc or PhD within an international network pushing the boundaries of developmental biology. Please contact me ASAP if interested. https://t.co/LyDyTmnUWv
The proliferation of competing articulations,
the willingness to try anything,
the expression of explicit discontent,
the recourse to philosophy and to debate over fundamentals,
all these are symptoms of a transition from normal to extraordinary research. ― Thomas S. Kuhn
If you have qualified Physics or Mathematics JRF, apply for PhD at IIT Bombay (google IIT Bombay PhD admission). Apply to Biosciences and Bioengineering Department @BsbeIitb and @KCDH_IITB. We are recruiting Physics and Mathematics students for PhD. Last date October 21.

Nobel Prize is NOT about h-index or citations.
It is about the emergence of big new fields.
So many posts discuss Nobel awardees.
And so many misunderstand the Nobel Prize.
📍 A bit of clarification from my side:
1⃣ Nobel Prize is NOT about how useful your work is.
It’s about how useful it WILL BE.
Science is not about real-world impact.
It is about new knowledge, new understanding.
It’s about nucleating new ways of thinking.
Applications can come decades after the discovery.
2⃣ Nobel Prize is NOT about just doing risky research.
Many of us take on risky projects. But most stay as niche studies that could have been done by others.
It’s about doing what others are AFRAID to do.
It's about looking like a reckless scientist.
It’s about succeeding where others have failed (despite numerous attempts).
3⃣ Nobel Prize is NOT about a small study.
It’s about nucleating a BIG research direction.
It’s about "OMG, I didn't know it's even possible!"
Yes, sometimes it takes decades to recognize a scientist. But in many cases, the prize was given to those who published the "nucleating studies" and pushed hard to grow the new field.
4⃣ Nobel Prize NOT about a lot of citations.
Metrics doesn't matter.
Forget this "Stanford top-2% ranking".
Your peers' opinion is what really matters.
Are you recognized by your peers SO MUCH that they want to see you as a Nobel Laureate?
Do they see you as someone who created their field and made their research possible?
Do they see you as their thought leader?
▫️
My HUGE congratulations to all Laureates.
AI has changed science a lot.
Those who made it possible deserve this recognition.
