Absolutely glad to have interviewed the fantastic and inspiring Dr. Lakshmi! Having written after a long time, felt the one too many joys of wielding the pen and reporting on women in science.

The news just keeps coming… Every NYT notification now gives me the same anxiety as my outlook/slack notification

Career planning in an era of scientific disinvestment Know not just the destination and the route, but all the other features on the map

In a time when support for junior scientists is disappearing, how can you plan for a career in STEM? I think it starts by thinking of science as a big map with many routes and destinations, instead of a pipeline. 🧪

If you're wondering why Blue Sky is creaking a little right now: new user growth has exceeded *one million* in 27 hours

This may be the fastest Mass Defection Event in internet history to date. Bluesky has 20 devs

It will bounce back but some growing pains are inevitable!

Ugggh the other place is giving me the creeps

A day full of interesting and fun talks on anthropology, ethology and primatology ahead at SEEHB 2023!!!

Come on, boys in green, konjam porumaya ninnu adinga!

That was a beautiful last over!

It has been a bit rainy and windy today here

Still active there for the accrued community over the years, networking and the abject nihilism.

Hope the population shifts down here soon enough though!

Absolutely enjoying this book on the Dravidian model of governance.

Where is this India Sky and how do I join it?

100%! The first step towards finding the therapist who’s the right fit for you is, imo, harder than dating 😅😅 But once you find the “one” therapist - very rewarding.

No shit man, going to therapy does feel awesome.

Rohini Murugan’s review of India After Gandhi: The History of the World's Largest Democracy Some disclaimers first. I am no student of history. Nor am I a regular reader of one. So, I am in no way qualified to comment on the accuracy of the content in the book nor am I experienced enough to ...

Finally finished reading this masterpiece by Ram Guha.

"You realise that the only way to make sense of the daily morning news that you wake up to on Twitter is by knowing more about the thousand-odd events that happened in the past leading up to it"

Yesss agreed! It’s too sunny out here!

This is the least excited I’ve ever been about the World Cup. Hate the board to the core that I truly truly wish the cup is not presented in the Ahmedabad stadium, by its namesake to the Indian team.

Would be major election points :/

The best part of research imo, is when you are running your experiment and you have new data coming in and you know you are going to spend the next couple of days exploring the hidden potential of all those data files!

The exhilaration of data analysis.

Soooo, I went on a date with a tech boy (yeah, I should have known better) who spent the entirety of it arguing how providing people with better salaries will only make them lazier.

Oh also, apparently India would still have polio if not for Bill Gates.

I’m done with humanity for a while.

Flu season is truly here then! And the soups sound heavenly!

I’m happy to inform that I did not do any work this weekend and enjoyed it the way it was meant to be enjoyed - on the couch and guilt free.

…and sick. But hey, at least that helped me be guilt free!

Joining BlueSky is like walking into the comfort of your house after being away on a horrible trip that you wish you could forget.

Hello everyone! I am a PhD student at Emory interested in language evolution and studying the cognitive mechanisms underlying language through comparative research.

And wow, BlueSky is hitting all the nostalgic spots perfectly!
