New preprint out with Dr. Gaurav Baruah! This paper explores a mechanistic model of sub-linear growth observed in various species. How spatial geometry and social interactions among individuals of a species shape the population growth curve? https://t.co/DfM4xwZP5N

Absolutely pathetic and I signed something similar for IISER TVM as well when we got admitted, these 2-3 sentences within piles of documents having so many things that students have to agree on in order to receive admission, even given on their right to protest, deplorable!
Point no. 4 would appear to be unconstitutional: how can you deny a citizen the right to protest peacefully.
This sums up a lot of what is wrong with our academic institutions and their administration. The message is also antithetical to cultivating scientific temper.
हमारे देश का संविधान आपको शांतिपूर्ण तरीके से विरोध करके, अपनी बात कहने का अधिकार देता है। और दूसरी तरफ है, @IiserMohali, institute of national importance, मेरा alma mater🥲, जो ऐसा दस्तावेज जारी करता है (Point 4)। शायद विज्ञान की पढ़ाई के साथ, संविधान की पढ़ाई नहीं हो पाई।
DOGE famously used keyword searches for terms like "climate" to terminate federal grants.
Among the victims: a collab between USAID and NASA for flood prediction, early warning, disaster readiness, glacier inventories, and mapping dangerous glacial lakes...
...in Nepal.
Seriously??!!! An institute like IIT Kanpur is signing up for value added courses from a religious organization? This is wrong at so many levels! @abandopa@gsaipsn@ayanban7
Congratulations to Vivek Jadhav -- the newest minted PhD from our lab!
Vivek is a recipient of the Schmidt Fellowship and will join Jeff Gore's lab at MIT for his postdoc (as soon as his visa is ready).
All the best for Vivek's future endeavours!

I have lost faith in Safdarjung Government Hospital.
The hospital told us @Wangchuk66’s potassium had dropped to 2.9, describing it as alarming and life-threatening. Yet, in its public health bulletin, it conveniently omitted the actual number, referring only to "decreasing potassium levels." When after 10 hours and repeated requests, they allowed us to take samples of his blood at 10.30 pm, an independent laboratory test reported 3.5, well within the normal range.
Despite repeated requests, the hospital has refused to discharge him or allow us to shift him to a private hospital of our choice. With around 30 police personnel stationed on our floor and well over 100 across the hospital, our movement is severely restricted. It is not medical care. It is illegal detention.
If anything happens to Sonam, the hospital authorities and the government must bear full responsibility.
I have therefore moved the High Court and sought an urgent hearing today, praying for permission to shift Sonam before his health deteriorates further. No family should have to fight the system simply to choose where their loved one receives medical care.
Safdarjung Hospitals report says @Wangchuk66’s potassium level is 2.9 whereas just yesterday it was 4.3. They are not allowing me to either get a second opinion by taking him to another lab not are they giving me his blood sample in my presence which i can get tested elsewhere. I have been waiting since 3 hours but they haven’t obliged us yet. This lack of transparency is making us suspicious and we have asked to be discharged immediately so that we can go to a hospital that we are comfortable with. We are awaiting their response for the last 2 hours
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
Welcome to Dr Gaurav Baruah, newest faculty member at CES-IISc.
He works eco-evolutionary dynamics of species assemblages, using theory and data to understand how species interactions and trait evolution shape the resilience of ecological communities.
