@RutujaUgale @ChemEcol_org Congratulations Rutuja 🎉

[Utkarsha Tikhole @UTikhole]

@_KarishmaK Thank you so much! Reading it as your student made it even more meaningful. We’ve learned from your journey in person, and now through your words too. 💜

[Utkarsha Tikhole @UTikhole]

Just finished this book - honest, relatable, and deeply insightful. It beautifully captures the realities of a career in science - the rejections, self-doubt, and resilience it demands. Especially empowering for young women in academia. Truly inspiring and practical @_KarishmaK

@_KarishmaK I have received my copy. Looking forward to reading it 🤩

Sharing this so that regulators, media & public know how 150+ families are being treated.

This isn’t just about flats. It’s about trust, fairness & accountability in real estate.

150+ families booked at Gagan Aviva, Pune. Possession promised Aug 2021 → Aug 2022 (COVID). Now Aug 2025—still no OC/CC, no possession.
CRM @gagandevelopers is threatening buyers: “Clear 100% demand before RERA lapses or else pay yourself for possession.”#RERA #HomebuyersRights

[Utkarsha Tikhole @UTikhole]

Families are paying both rent + EMIs for 4+ yrs.
Meanwhile, promised compensations for signing extensions are being denied.

This is harassment. Time for accountability. @gagandevelopers @Agnikant3 @doctordanger007 @georgedec25 @neeraj_gho8864 @patil_abhijit23

Continuing our work on surface and groundwater quality monitoring across the Western Ghats.
Sharing glimpses of our team in action – analysing samples, and interacting with local communities.

Fieldwork in the wild! 🌧️ Waterfalls in full flow, fallen trees blocking our path and winding roads through the mountains. Nature is dramatic and beautiful. #FieldworkDiaries #WesternGhats #MonsoonTrail #ScienceInAction

[Karthick Balasubramanian @karthickbala]

🌧️ 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

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
