Concerning🧵 #DST #InspireSHE #IISER

After stopping KVPY, @IndiaDST has silently discontinued INSPIRE-SHE scholarship for BS and MS students. This is a nightmare for fundamental science in India. Students were uncertain about this until a certain student from IISc filed RTI. 1/n

2025 started great it seems. Our manuscript of sequencing whole genomes of mammals from blood sucking insects is out. We show that blood sucking insects can be a great way of sampling certain mammals from population genomic investigations. (1/n)

You're doing a masters degree in life sciences and you want to contribute to Indian wildlife and conservation. Career in academia isn't the only option. Perhaps a conversation with an Indian forest officer will help you understand new avenues and how you can contribute to Indian wildlife. Join us for a candid discussion with Mr. Anurag Mishra, DFO Kalahandi, Odisha. He's been on both courts, so don't miss this opportunity to interact with him. If you have specific questions, please reply to this post and maybe I can ask it on your behalf! Remember, 29th October, 6.00 pm. Register for the online event (via Zoom) and mark your calendars.

Feeling really proud. My student won his second international research grant. Thanks @WildlifeAcoust This will allow Souradeep to passively sample the forests to examine how anthropogenic disturbance impacts Ensiferans diversity. @niser_official
