A truly satisfying moment 😊
Our research on #diatoms from the Keladi excavations is now showcased at the Keladi Museum. Great to see science reaching common people and connecting the lab with society 🔬🏛️

[Karthick Balasubramanian @karthickbala]

Sharing diatom-based evidence to reconstruct hydrological variability during human habitation at Keeladi. Nice to see microfossils adding another layer to the Sangam-period story, alongside multiple disciplinary archaeology. Meeting organised by TN archaeology department.

Very happy and proud to see Dr. Mital Thacker’s outstanding PhD work on Myristica swamp diatoms getting this recognition. A proud moment for her and team @DiatomsofIndia

[Agharkar Research Institute @ari_pune]

Dr. Mital Thacker @thacker_mital has been awarded the D.B. Chougule (Burlikar) Gold Medal by @PuneUniv for the best PhD thesis in Botany. Her work focused on the present and past diatoms of the unique Myristica swamp ecosystems of the Western Ghats with @karthickbala at @ari_pune. This continues ARI’s efforts in documenting and conserving the unique ecosystems of the Western Ghats.

Diatoms—nature’s tiny glassmakers, crafting exquisite silica shells. They are the unseen jewels of water, vital to ecosystems & silent indicators of aquatic health.

🌧️ In the heart of the monsoon, our team is out collecting water and sediment samples—rain or shine! 🌊🌿
Also spending time with local communities to understand how they perceive changes in water quality. #MonsoonScience #WaterQuality #CitizenVoices #FieldworkIndia

[Karthick Balasubramanian @karthickbala]

Our team is studying seasonal water quality and diatom communities from the headwaters of the Bhima River Basin — aiming to understand how stream health changes across time and space. #Diatoms #RiverEcology #BhimaRiver #FreshwaterScience
