I am excited to co-organize a two week school-plus-workshop on Worldsheet String Theory and String Field Theory at ICTS Bangalore from Nov 9 - Nov 20 later this year.
Interested PhD students, postdocs and faculty may please register at the link below:
I am proposing a new association for Indian scientists that take pro-scientist stands, push back against bad policies and generally show spine:
Indian National Science Alliance for Nutty Eggheads (INSANE)
IMSc announces Advanced School on Mathematical Methods for Physicists during 6-10 July, a focused training program aimed at early-career PhD students working in astrophysics, particle physics, and nuclear physics. Application deadline: 7 June. For details: https://t.co/1GA5hJkqUn
@Kaju_Nut imo a three strike system could be introduced, with each subsequent strike leading to increasing amount of ban duration and after the third strike they can implement this pre peer-reviewed submission policy OR give them a lifelong ban entirely.
CMP group of the @DPS_IISERM is organising the 7th edition of the national conference series
"Physics of Strongly Correlated Electron Systems"
from 13th-15th May 2026 at @IiserMohali.

Congratulations to David Gross, winner of the 2026 Special Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics, for a lifetime of groundbreaking contributions to theoretical physics, from the strong force to string theory, and for tireless advocacy for basic science worldwide. https://t.co/awmRtAX5vT @ucsantabarbara@KITP_UCSB
Congratulations to Clay Córdova, Shu-Heng Shao, Thomas Dumitrescu and Yifan Wang on winning the 2026 New Horizons in Physics Prize for generalizing the notion of symmetry in various ways, and for exploring the consequences of these generalized symmetries, in quantum field theory, particle physics, condensed matter physics, string theory, and quantum information theory. https://t.co/awmRtAX5vT
My first string theory paper just hit arXiv! 🧵
“Strings near BTZ black holes: A Carrollian Chronicle”
It grew out of my master’s thesis (and a lot of coffee ☕️). We found some really exciting stuff (like Baklavas XD) near BTZ horizons.
