A recent study (shared below) reminded me that ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ฆ๐๐ค๐๐ฌ ๐ ๐๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐๐ง๐ญ ๐ก๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฒ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ ๐จ๐ซ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ฉ๐๐ง๐๐ฌ, ๐๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ ๐จ๐จ๐ ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง.
Over the years, I have supervised 53 PhD students, and I can say with conviction that ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ ๐ป๐ผ ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐น๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐๐๐น๐ฒ that works for all. Each student is different, and every PhD journey has its ups and downs.
With some students, I spent a disproportionate amount of time helping them gain confidence. With stronger ones, my role was to ๐ด๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐บ ๐๐ป๐๐ถ๐น ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ๐บ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ณ-๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ป.
๐๐บ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐ต๐ ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐. Unless a student gets genuinely interested in what he or she is doing, great work rarely happens.

In fact, I always encouraged it and built a network they could freely approach. I also followed an ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ป-๐ฑ๐ผ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฝ๐ผ๐น๐ถ๐ฐ๐ - any student could walk into my office anytime for advice.
I never had a lab of my own in any institution I worked at. Instead, I built common labs, shared by all, to promote collaboration and collective ownership. I have always believed that the ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ป๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ, ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ผ๐๐ป๐ฒ๐ฑ.

Nearly 90% of my PhD students wrote their first peer-reviewed paper with me.
Unlike in the US, where professors often get students with prior research experience, ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฎ ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ต๐ฒ๐น๐ฝ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐บ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ผ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐. Faculty in Indian institutions (at least in the institutions where I worked so far - IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi and BITS Pilani) often put in far more time and effort per student than many of our counterparts abroad.

๐จ BOLSONARO CONDENADO: STF FORMA MAIORIA
Com o voto da Ministra Cรกrmen Lรบcia, a 1ยช Turma do Supremo Tribunal Federal acaba de formar maioria pra condenar Jair Bolsonaro por organizaรงรฃo criminosa para atentar contra a nossa democracia.
Resta votar o ministro Cristiano Zanin. Caso ele vote a favor e forme-se um placar de 4 a 1 pela condenaรงรฃo, Bolsonaro nรฃo poderรก recorrer ao Plenรกrio do Supremo.
Os crimes de Bolsonaro podem somar atรฉ 43 anos de prisรฃo.
Imagine a country where a polarising president refused to accept an election defeat and inspired a failed insurrection. The trial of Jair Bolsonaro, Brazilโs former president, offers a lesson for America https://t.co/2B1nnGbgGu
[TENTE NรO RIR] Um grupo de senadores bolsonaristas acaba de se sentar na mesa do Senado e estรฃo afirmando que:
- Vรฃo impedir que o Senado funcione;
- Sรณ saem se Bolsonaro for anistiado;
- E que Alexandre de Moraes estรก violando a constituiรงรฃo... dos Estados Unidos...
ร sรฉrio.
Os senadores envolvidos na palhaรงada sรฃo Damares Alves (Republicanos-DF), Jorge Seif (PL-SC), Jaime Bagattoli (PL-SC), Izalci Lucas (PL-DF), Eduardo Girรฃo (Novo-CE) e Magno Malta (PL-ES).
Na Cรขmara, deputados do PL, partido de Bolsonaro, estรฃo tentando fazer a mesma coisa.
In light of the public statement made by U.S. President Donald Trump on social media on the afternoon of Wednesday (9), it is important to highlight the following:
Brazil is a sovereign nation with independent institutions and will not accept any form of tutelage.
The judicial proceedings against those responsible for planning the coup d'รฉtat fall exclusively under the jurisdiction of Brazilยดs Judicial Branch and, as such, are not subject to any interference or threats that could compromise the independence of national institutions.
In the context of digital platforms, Brazilian society rejects hateful content, racism, child pornography, scams, fraud, and speeches against human rights and democratic freedom.
In Brazil, freedom of expression must not be confused with aggression or violent practices. All companiesโwhether domestic or foreignโmust comply with Brazilian law in order to operate within our territory.
The claim regarding a U.S. trade deficit in its commercial relationship with Brazil is inaccurate. Statistics from the U.S. government itself show a surplus of $410 billion in the trade of goods and services with Brazil over the past 15 years.
Therefore, any unilateral tariff increases will be addressed in accordance with Brazil's Economic Reciprocity Law.
Sovereignty, respect and the unwavering defense of the interests of the Brazilian people are the values that guide our relationship with the world.
๐จATENรรO! CIรNCIA SOB AMEAรA!
Estรก na pauta da sessรฃo da Comissรฃo de Ciรชncia e Tecnologia do Senado de amanhรฃ o PL 330/2022, que representa uma ameaรงa para a liberdade cientรญfica.
O projeto quer punir com reclusรฃo de 3 a 5 anos a "mรก conduta cientรญfica", conceito mal formulado e aberto que visa constranger cientistas em suas atividades de pesquisa, principalmente em tempos que a extrema-direita busca impor dogmas negacionistas.
A ANPG manifesta seu repรบdio ร criminalizaรงรฃo da ciรชncia e insta os senadores a recusarem a nรฃo votarem um projeto de tais implicaรงรตes sem o necessรกrio debate em audiรชncias pรบblicas.
FAZER CIรNCIA NรO ร CRIME! NรO AO PL 330/22!
