Pleased to share that I received the Young Researcher Award in Health Sciences for my oral presentation at NBRCOM 2024.ЁЯПЖ itтАЩs gladdening to know that our work on AR-V7 is gaining traction. Getting such recognition in front of mentors and colleagues is unparalleled.ЁЯСитАНЁЯОУGrateful!ЁЯЩПЁЯП╜
Today would have been the 110th birthday of Francis Crick, who along with James Watson, made a ground-breaking step in genetic research in 1953, when they managed to determine the structure of the DNA molecule.
This molecule consists of a long line of building blocks that form a double helix. Its building blocks are of four kinds, and their sequence serves as a code for genetic information.
This discovery was enabled by research by Rosalind Franklin, who died in 1958. The 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Crick, Watson and Maurice Wilkins, a colleague of Rosalind Franklin.

Today would have marked the 108th birthday of legendary physicist, science communicator and #NobelPrize laureate Richard Feynman.
Feynman was awarded the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on quantum electrodynamics, including the introduction of the Feynman diagram.
"Jana Gana Mana" (Bengali: [╔Я╔Щn╔Щ g╔Щ╔│╔Щ m╔Щn╔Щ]) is the national anthem of India, originally composed in Bengali by poet Rabindranath Tagore, who was awarded the #NobelPrize in Literature in 1913.

Hello, Moon. ItтАЩs great to be back.
HereтАЩs a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl
I see many Indian institutions celebrating their alumniтАЩs success in cracking the UPSC CSE. This is a remarkable individual achievement. However, why should an engineering or medical school take pride in it if the individual is unlikely to practise what they learned firsthand? ЁЯдФ
Take a look at Fran├зoise Barr├й-Sinoussi's lab notes from 1983 when she and Luc Montagnier discovered Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), the virus that causes AIDS.
In 1985, the first commercial blood test to detect HIV became available.

"As a child, I promised my mother I would win the Nobel Prize in Physics. 50 years later, I said to my mother, 'See, I have kept my promise. I won the Nobel Prize.' 'No,' said my mother, 'You promised it would be in physics!'"

Akira Yoshino is the developer of the first commercially viable lithium-ion battery.
Yoshino shared the 2019 chemistry prize with Stanley Whittingham and John Goodenough for their research on lithium-ion batteries.
2025 felt like three rooms in one day: the lab bench, the writing desk, and a quiet corner of stories and memories. Even good change can feel heavy at first. Grateful for the small steps that added up and shaped 2025. Here is my recap. https://t.co/OTsVI3Uho5
