Pups teach you the power of habit like no book or self-help guru does. Such a quick and rewarding way to opening minds ..

[Raghu @raghuhere]

No better feeling than vindication from an engineering idea coming together. One based on rigor, esp. #circuits #dsp

[Raghu @raghuhere]

Good managers appreciate details and aren't overwhelmed by them very often.

Goes for engineers too of course, though that part is understood/accepted more widely

[Raghu @raghuhere]

Simply amazing how accurately GPTs already understand and predict human emotions .. "hormonal", "can't think thru" responses evolved over thousands/millions of years of evolution.

Real testament to behavioral science & sound sanction of skeptics, yours truly included

After the events of the past 72 hours, it should be evident to all well-meaning and sensible Indians that they need to shun big media and support independent media. Non-speculative, credible reportage, sans jingoism and propaganda, is what will keep India strong and safe.

What an inspiring story. Every bit of the way, all the way to the telling.

cooking is fun and games until you realize you have to eat it too. that first taste is a killer time machine. lucky days, takes you back to childhood and leaves you there. them other days though, just endless. stop it already

I don't know a single student worth her salt that graduates without teaching a good deal to her PI (aside from the community in general).

So, the "tuition" fee for "research units with me" - why is it, um, one sided? Esp. in later years after the traffic really has turned?

[Raghu @raghuhere]

Grad students can only be paid 50% of time "by definition" because they need to work on their degree the rest 50% of time. How cute.

Tenure track faculty should be paid at 10% then - @4hrs/wk they spend in class? Coz rest of the time goes for tenure, career, homework and such

[Raghu @raghuhere]

Speaking of "costs", how much do faculty "cost" univs? All those students they like to hire, labs they like to build, travel they want to do .. my, my, that's not even getting into "overhead" costs.

For noble causes, and with such sacrifice though. Not like them grad students

This powerful and tragic tale of how scammers use instant loan apps to entrap and blackmail Indians is #BBCEye first India produced investigative documentary. https://t.co/DAYMe0Hurl @poonamjourno @ronnysen @anubhabhonsle @danielsilas @NehaTaraMehta @nupursonar @NandyAsmita

@NSMlive https://t.co/AT59LruWCd An extract from 'Scientist and Humanist-M S Swaminathan' a book by fellow scientist R D Iyer:
I can recall only one occasion when he raised his voice in a C V Raman-like harangue: "Let dogs bark. The caravan of Science will march on."..

Every day @costplusdrugs uncovers generic drugs that are insanely priced. If there is a generic that you can not afford , or that is charged for hundreds or thousands of dollars to your employer's insurance, please reply with the name and we will see if we can source it. Thanks

Of fluctuating fortunes, fragile friendships and the worst of media

This is a photo of Adam Gilchrist after scoring a Test ton. Doesn't look like much of a celebration and, in his own words, this was the first time he cried on a cricket field. But why? There's a story.
