"We fail much more than we ever succeed. We know that. We accept that. We're amazing at dealing with failure. That's what scientists do."

2021 chemistry laureate David MacMillan on what failure means to him as a scientist.

On 3 November, MacMillan joins other laureates and expert panellists to discuss what future we want to build for ourselves and for the next generation of scientists. Read more here: https://t.co/qhNhds34O4

[Tiyasa Roy @tiyasajc]

I feel incredibly emotional and proud as I reflect on all the hard work, sacrifices, and amazing lessons learned during my Master of Science degree. Feeling so grateful to @dcsiiserkol, @iiserkol and @AB_Group_IISER. Excited for the future with blessings from everyone.

[Tiyasa Roy @tiyasajc]

I will always be grateful for @AB_Group_IISER. It was my honour to be under the supervision of Prof. @AlakeshBisai. Thank you so much.

[AB Research Group @AB_Group_IISER]

Hearty congratulations to our recent graduates Dr. Debgopal Jana, Dr. Pranay Shyamal, Dr. Ranjit Murmu, Ms. Shanoli Das, Ms. Tiyasa Roy and Mr. Sourasish Das! Wish you all the best for your future endeavors.

@VishnumayaBisai @ayan_m64 @AB_Group_IISER @AlakeshBisai We have presented this paper in our regular Group Meeting, It’s great paper indeed. Well Done Ayan da

[Tiyasa Roy @tiyasajc]

So incredibly thrilled to witness my #MSThesis work finally published in #OrgLett.! Our catalytic asymmetric #totalsynthesis of (+)-11-hydroxyvittatine is now out. 🎉 Immense grateful for @ayan_m64 @Abhishe60943976 and Prof. @AlakeshBisai for their support and guidance.

[AB Research Group @AB_Group_IISER]

Glad to announce the first catalytic asymmetric #totalsynthesis of naturally occuring Amaryllidaceae alkaloid (+)-11-hydroxyvittatine, achieved in just 9 steps! Huge congrats to Dr. Ayan, Mr. Abhishek & Ms. Tiyasa on their just-accepted #OrgLett. paper!

Indeed, Total Synthesis papers are amongst the most downloaded, which is a measure of importance and broad interest. It is worth reflecting on the discrepancy between downloads and citations. It is not uncommon in total synthesis to have more than 10,000 downloads with fewer than 50 citations. If I were obsessed with my h-factor, I would stop publishing total syntheses now. But you have to do what you truly love doing!

[AB Research Group @AB_Group_IISER]

Happy to share our latest work published in @JACS_Au on the enantioselective total synthesis of Taiwaniadducts I, J & L, involving cycloadditions as a key strategy for constructing complex tetraterpenoids. Many congratulations to the team! Check this out: https://t.co/VXOXYJ1ZJ5

Just had a fascinating lunch with a 22-year-old Stanford grad. Smart kid. Perfect resume. Something felt off though.

He kept pausing mid-sentence, searching for words. Not complex words - basic ones. Like his brain was buffering.

Finally asked if he was okay. His response floored me.

"Sometimes I forget words now. I'm so used to having ChatGPT complete my thoughts that when it's not there, my brain feels... slower."

He'd been using AI for everything. Writing, thinking, communication. It had become his external brain. And now his internal one was getting weaker.

Made me think about calculators. Remember how teachers said we needed to learn math because "you won't always have a calculator"? They were wrong about that.

But maybe they were right about something deeper.

We're running the first large-scale experiment on human cognition. What happens when an entire generation outsources their thinking?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m beyond excited about what AI and AI agents will do for people in the same way that I was excited in 2009 when the App Store was launched.

But thinking out loud you got to think this guy I met with isn't the onnnnnly one that's going to be completely dependent on AI.
