🌟 NEW!
We are super excited to announce our collaboration with Tinkle Magazine to bring you an inspiring series of comics featuring brilliant women scientists from our institute! 👩‍🔬

The first comic features Dr. Deepti Trivedi, who heads the Drosophila facility at NCBS.

Deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. A . J . T . Johnsingh, a true pioneer in wildlife conservation. His work has left an indelible mark on our understanding and preservation of nature. Our heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones. #RIP #AJTJohnsingh MoEF&CC Virendra Tiwari

A sad loss to Indian ecology

AJT Johnsingh, the man who taught me—and literally hundreds of others—so much about wildlife and nature, is no more. I will miss him.

New paper!! Interested in water uptake and water loss?

Lab of Organismal Biology CSU Channel Islands developed a conceptual model for the effects of water and temperature intxns on water loss.

We also report new water loss and uptake data for Phyllobates terribilis, cane toads, and Xenopus tropicalis!

Trying out new steps and variations is always so much fun!! #garba #navratri2024

Ahead of world environment day, created this piece to celebrate the rich wildlife of the Western Ghats. Just did it for myself and not for any project to feel close to the monsoon forests. Felt like adding more things but then....... next time. Also, awaiting the rains ☹️

Last year, I was doing a story on knot theory when I came across Joan Birman, promptly fell into a rabbit hole & thankfully found someone who was as much in love with her story as I was. Today is her 97th birthday. Joan may be American but I promise you her story is universal!

Thrilled to announce that the third chapter from my PhD thesis just got published in the Zoological Journal of the Linnean society 😃

World Dugong Day: Let’s respect and appreciate the ecological services provided by dugong to humanity- minimum 2 crores rupees worth of more fishes breeds every year where dugong live, one of the provisional services of dugong. Let’s protect them from the verge of extinction 🙏

Dear my 25K followers,
If you all promise to give me Rs 1/week throughout my life, I can take an early retirement, making room for others.
May I count on you?
