Last week, our lab turned two (hence the formal portrait :D) ! 2 years ago, I was a new transplant to the Indian System. I left after my Bachelors and came back 14 years later to launch our lab. I have learned A LOT in the last 2 years and wanted to share some thoughts in case it’s useful for folks looking to move back and launch their labs in India. A 🧵 9 lessons from 2 years-

@KimLJacobson @NatImmunol @ImmunologyMelb Nice wordplay with the title!

[Devi Prasad V @theywoulddo]

A very interesting thought.
I have wondered many a time that a competent bench researcher need not be an efficient lab head or a department head; but that's what inevitably lies ahead of us (or parallels in our lines of work).

We would have come across…https://t.co/B1p6sdZ0QR

@priti_atmakuru @J_Cell_Sci Congratulations!

[Devi Prasad V @theywoulddo]

It is an absolute honour to be awarded the "Progressive Thinker" of 2022, in TAPAS, by @AurigeneDiscov. This gives me immense motivation to do even better.

I thank my encouraging managers, motivating teammates and supportive family!

I have a transplant joke... but it got rejected.

I have a Medical Oncology joke…
But no one agreed

@kuncha_santosh @SmitaJainIISc @KaushikLab @vikasnavaratna @VoicesofIndAcad @PhDVoice @Samatha_Mathew @hippo_campy I know for a fact that without the publishing mandate, many would be forced to graduate w/o papers. It's bad if they want to pursue research.

I'd say, allow thesis submission but mandate publishing before defence. So, candidate doesn't get stuck if paper is bouncing off journals

[CSIR-CCMB @ccmb_csir]

Students of medicine, this one's for you. CCMB is now accepting applications for its MedSRT program. The program will introduce the participants into research methodology via hands-on activities and lectures.

@drkellyallen Why are you giving me peanuts?

[Devi Prasad V @theywoulddo]

@Plasmacellguy Beautifully summarised; was reminded of my thesis lit review.
I was at the 2019 version at Keystone & every talk by these ppl was a high. Glad I presented my work to them, along similar lines.
