Stray dog discussion is heating up in India, I donot wanna comment on it. But lately, I am seeing lot of post on "ecological importance of stray dogs". I just wanna say, that is big BS. Stray dog's are invasive species in our ecology. They destroyed 80+ native species 1/3

@festa_bianchet Very cool! I've been thinking about this from a long time, glad to see it actually works! Additionally some measuring scales can also be added here to get body measurements. Through the camera traps.
I urge all students at educational institutes to be more vocal in fighting for their rights and better facilities. Be at open public forums or in secrecy within their institutes, whichever way possible. 5/5
It is extremely sad and disappointing that a few words of criticism would not be tolerated and that our voices intending to improve things would be persecuted if spoken out in the open. 1/5
IISER Tirupati [Apology]
Dear all, I write this thread with a confused mindset. I sincerely apologize for the words I used against the institute in the thread written on 6th July. It was unknowingly and unintentionally disrespectful.
Students are at the core of any educational institute and they also want to participate in all discussions that affect them. Thus, their voices should be the priority. 4/5
Twitter is meant for sharing opinions , discussing problems , debating about them not to get threatened by institutes just cuz you criticise them , it's really concerning how institutes nowadays can't take criticism at all.
