Interacting and sharing of experiences with the younger generation is something that scientists cherish - speakers at the Prof. M. Vijayan Annual Memorial Symposium @SastraUniv were no exception!!

It turns out that sparkling water and raisins are *fascinating*. My daughter and I happened upon this effect playing together in the kitchen a long time ago, and I couldn't help but explore the system more deeply... 1/n https://t.co/wNBX7nnGJS

How else are they going to compensate me for the delay from their side? Denying TDR is ridiculous. Plain cheating of the citizens of the country!

[Vigneshwar @vmsrvignesh]

@IRCTCofficial @RailMinIndia @RailwaySeva PNR 8706077627. Train was late by more than 8 h. Filed TDR when I came to know about it, and took alternative means to reach my destination. IRCTC has repudiated my TDR claim saying it is not in their rules.

Day 25 of great biology papers.

"The biomass distribution on Earth" & "Cell Biology by the Numbers."

These texts defined my own journey as a biologist. They taught me about life across scales & to think of cells as physical, quantifiable entities.

Paper #1: https://t.co/44f0sqvytz

There are 550 gigatons (that is, billions of tons) of carbon biomass. Bacteria account for 15% of global biomass, and the vast majority of that fraction comes from microbes living in the ocean's deep subsurface, which stretches from 50 meters to thousands of meters below the surface. Only about 10% of all bacterial biomass is from microbes on land. About 80% of total biomass is plants.

This paper is well-known. So you should also check out its spiritual successor, "The Anthropocene by the Numbers," which quantifies man-made materials and shows how "the mass of human-made materials now equals the dry weight of all living matter on the planet." (https://t.co/bEdasqd3TP)

Paper #2: https://t.co/TrQCVEGW1H

This is my favorite textbook of all time. It's free to read, and contains beautiful illustrations by David Goodsell.

The book introduces the sizes, concentrations, energies, rates, and errors of a living cell, and also walks through many of these calculations, step-by-step. I recommend it to anyone trying to move into biology.
