We are pleased to share that our Founding Director, Jahnavi Phalkey @JahnaviPhalkey, moderated a panel discussion at the India Science Festival (ISF 2026), held at IISER Pune @IISERPune, on 10-11 January 2026.
The discussion with Dr. Vineeth Venugopal (Postdoctoral researcher, MIT Boston) @vinven7, Dr. Keshav Aggarwal (Assistant Professor, IIT, Bombay), and Nikhil Gulati (Illustrator) explored gaps in India’s science communication landscape and the urgent need for accessible, high-quality nonfiction writing.

Vineeth Venugopal @OlivettiGroup crafted new materials science “knowledge graph” MatKG with natural language processing. Researchers can use it to determine a material’s application or which materials have specific properties. Read more in @ScientificData: https://t.co/IqQH5HxrsK
I wish therapists could learn to multitask - like listening to your problems while cutting your hair. Seems like a productive use of both our times, is intimate, and genuinely unavoidable. Now that I think of it, maybe we should be certifying hair saloonists in psychotherapy...
The Mat3ra #material of this month is SiC a well known abrasive and semiconductor, used in car brakes and LEDs. To learn how we calculate #electronic properties such as band structure and density of states click here : https://t.co/cdht5EGcM6 #materials#science#technology
We thank the United States for the CHIPS and Science Act giving $52.7 billion dollar for #American#semiconductor#research, #manufacturing, workforce development. Breakdown: $39 billion manufacturing, $2 billion auto & defense , $13.2 billion in R&D , $500 million communication.
I'm excited to present my new theory, the relativistic theory of consciousness!
What if consciousness is a physical relativistic phenomenon? Can the hard problem be dissolved?
