17-year-old Grandmaster D Gukesh is the Champion of FIDE Candidates Chess Tournament 2024!!

Gukesh scored 9/14 points to clinch the first place. A huge moment for Indian Chess! After Vishy Anand, he is only the second Indian player to win the Candidates Tournament.

With this amazing victory, Gukesh will challenge the reigning World Champion Ding Liren in the World Chess Championship match!

@DigitalAgUIUC received a $975K @USDA_NIFA grant for the RobInHighTs project to create profitable food oases in urban ecosystems. Led by our own Naveen Kumar Uppalapati, the team will use robotics to help identify barriers to urban and minority farmers.

Girish Krishnan is PI on a USDA-funded project called RobInHighTs, in which AI-powered robots with delicate grippers can reduce costs on small urban farms. This tech is being tested at the Student Sustainable Farm right here at UIUC. https://t.co/FZhaoMcZ28

@airfrance @AirFranceUS My baggage from a Chicago-Bangalore flight is missing for five days. Serious inconvenience. The contact numbers for baggage claim are not helpful.

I meant it when I said the future was going to be made right here in America. Companies like GM and Ford are building more electric vehicles here at home than ever before.

My favorite YouTuber @laoshu505000 aka Moses Mccormick passed away this week. In a world torn apart by strife and diseases, he was a uniting factor just by the power of language.

@avinashmswamy @TanishqJewelry The point is we do not have to compromise who we are to be accepting of others. Let's be different and still respect each other. This ad seems to suggest that intermingling is the new norm for showcasing tolerance
