Prof. M. S. Swaminthan's many awards included the most prized one of all, the respect and affection of millions of Indian farmers, in his lifetime, for bringing his science to their service and welfare and that of farmers all over the world.

Megaherbivores provide biotic resistance against alien plant dominance - see our new study just out in @NatureEcoEvo 🐘🐃🌳🪷 🇮🇳nature.com/articles/s4155… - led by @BiochangeAU @EconovoAU postdoc @ninad_mungi 🎉#invasivealienspecies #invasivespecies #megafauna #herbivores #plants
Carbon flowing through mycorrhizal fungi With @VUamsterdam and @_amolf, we are using fluorescent tags to track carbon compounds inside living mycorrhizal networks. Speeds of flows range from 5 -120 microns per second. Video was made by Rachael Cargill & Dr. Loreto Oyarte Galvez
Good to see invasives as main part of the report. Status of invasive plants in India is critical to start seeing forests more than its cover. Kudos to the team for reporting this work and providing restoration priority. 🥳 @wildelock @ninad_mungi @moefcc @ntca_india @MSTrIPES

Made a few calls and here is a list of personally verified #OxygenCylinder supplies in Bangalore. All of them are unfortunately self-pick ups but if you book a cab or an auto, they will assist in delivery. Entrusted.in is supplying an entire oxygen machine. #Bangalore
Thanks Prof. @HariniNagendra for the inspiring talk on "Thinking ecologically about Indian cities" today! Hope we as a community can create a paradise like #Bangalore again in the current context!

Deeply moving piece on #lynching of #TabrezAnsari. @harsh_mander says :’The lynch mob, the doctors, the magistrate and jail staff, they all share the guilt of Tabrez Ansari’s death...What have we become as a people? Or were we always this way?' thehindu.com/news/national/…
“No to the mining in our lands. No to deforestation. No more invasions and disrespect.” Brazil’s indigenous people demand urgent action for the #AmazonFires and an end to mining in the Amazon as world leaders are set to discuss the blaze at the #G7Summit
