Still figuring out Twitter

In my first blog post (https://t.co/PwnlbHHPNO) I discuss this eye-opening experience and my exploration of what determines middle-class self-identification.

Please share your thoughts and feedback.

“Hum middle class hain—hamare paas kapde dhone wali machine bhi nahin hai” (We are middle class—we don’t even have a washing machine.)

Why do many residents of Ahemdabad's slums identify as middle-class?

[Sachin Iyer @sachiniyer18]

I spent many months walking among and talking to the residents of five low-income neighbourhoods in the Ahmedabad. There, just as many people casually described themselves as middle‑class as those who identified as gareeb (poor).

Playing & learning with kids is really fun. Here is one recent incident.

We were playing teacher - student game, where i was the student. Daughter gave me some math problems, one of which was:

6 - 8 = ?

Sometimes you aren't ready for what the new year promises to bring, and that's okay.

Maybe 2024 will not be what I think it might? And if it will, maybe I'll grow more than I can ever imagine

Happiest New Year to everybody hopeful, nervous, and everywhere in between ❤️

Applications open (due: Jan 10, 2024) for a 7-week undergraduate summer internship in mathematical oncology featuring classes, interdisciplinary research projects & hands-on tutorials. https://t.co/6I5k4ijek4

I'm deeply concerned about the stockouts in India of medications to treat multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. Patients without meds are likely to develop further resistance, threatening us all. They're also likely to needlessly die of TB. Worrisome report:

The most important rule of making friends is to regularly spend time with people. This is why it is so easy to form new friendships in school and university. In fact, one study found that in student dormitories, the distance between rooms was the strongest friendship predictor.

This preprint is short and sweet, and should be required reading in bioinformatics classes and beyond. I'll give the authors the final word: 26/26

One of my favourite facts which i love asking as a question.

Did you know that since the formation of the USSR/Soviet Union/Russia every alternate leader has been hairy/bald?
The odds of it happening are 0.000025!
Is it a coincidence or a forced pattern? 😅🤷🏽‍♂️

Sachin, who worked at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) over the summer on computational biology, talks about his summer project. 🧵

Massively under-reported science story because there's so much going on right now but...it turns out that we might have figured out what's causing this very scary spike.

Quick thread, on how WE'VE BEEN ACCIDENTALLY GEOENGINEERING FOR DECADES...but then we stopped:

[berty ashley @bertyashley]

Super excited about this!
One really fun science quiz happening in Bangalore soon 😁

Will be open to all, free entry, with fun prizes, filled with fantastic facts, bad puns, jokes and tantalizing trivia

CMTC has received SO MANY requests to provide an update on LK99 that we are breaking our 'sign-off' since our tweets are only for the purpose of precise scientific outreach from our critical perspective, So, here we go...

Credits to @20akshay00 for sending the article (and entertaining me responsibly)

[Sachin Iyer @sachiniyer18]

"The question is therefore not whether science journalism should debase itself by seeking to entertain, but how it should entertain responsibly. Because if science journalists do not do so, it’s clear that others will entertain irresponsibly."
