Sun. 21/4 11 AM @RuparelCollege we're back with an Astronomy session! Join Anindya Ganguly, as he takes us through an amazing journey of how stars are born, how they shine, and how they die! Can't make it in-person? Watch it live/later: youtube.com/watch?v=WwH7z0… #scicomm
We have Rajasree Kundu from @TIFRScience telling us about the role of fat molecules - different lipids - play in the wall of our cells, and how one can detect these lipids in live cells, which is part of her PhD work in the Chemical Biology and Molecular Imaging lab. #scicomm
In our *online only* 5th Sun Special on 31/3 we will visit the Low Temperature Facility @TIFRScience to see how ultra cold liquids - Liquid Nitrogen (-196 oC) and Liquid Helium (-269 oC) - key to many expts at TIFR are made.Some fun LN2 demos too! youtube.com/watch?v=qHRMwu… #scicomm
And we have a near full house @PrithviTheatre listening to Prof Jayaram Chengalur @TIFRScience tell us about radio astronomy and wonders of the universe that radio telescopes have untravelled. #scicomm @NCRA_Outreach

Those in Mumbai, please visit if you’re interested. Attending “Chai and Why?” talks at Prithvi was one of the best things I did during my brief time in Mumbai.
Searching for symmetry is a key adventure in math! Join Radhika Gupta from @TIFRScience at our session Sun 6Aug 11 AM IST @PrithviTheatre as she explores numbers, clock faces, hair braids, wallpaper patterns... to discover the underlying concept called groups #SciComm (1/2)
Physicist Suvrat Raju shared this letter he sent to an editor of Nature Communications, declining to referee for them.
One of the best things about TIFR!!! the outreach: creative and unbelievably rich in ideas!!! @TIFRScience @chaiandwhy
If you missed the National Science Day celebrations @TIFRScience, or just want to relive the day again, here's a run thru the day in just about a minute! Enjoy the wow!! #scicomm (Vid courtesy Aditya Shrivastava, TIFR) And yes, TIFR rocks!!
Something different we learned in yesterday's session by Ramprasad Saptharishi👏 Four colour theorem and zero knowledge! Thanks @TifrArnab and TIFR for conducting such great Chai&Why sessions😊🤘
Our National Science Day celebrations are in full swing the @TIFRScience Colaba campus. From exciting outdoor demos, lab tours, lectures and a whole range of activities, there's something fun for everyone! A glimpse of a buzzing Sunday morning... #scicomm
And I'm quite sure this is what the adults watching from outside were thinking! 😂 With Team @chaiandwhy at the Childrens' Festival @kgafest yesterday....
Finally got a chance to do a classic cool experiment on stage at the @TIFRScience "Frontiers of Science" programme for 9th/10th std students. Yes, in-person after a gap of 2 years! It's fun to be suspended mid-air on stage held by just two interleaved books! 😳Read on! #scicomm
Not lightheaded, only a light head! Finally got to the 12-14" length required by @copewithcancer for hair donation and the lid is off. It's super easy. Check copewithcancer.org/hair-donation. And yes, they accept plaits from males with noodly, salt-and-pepper hair! h/t:@cspramesh @NGKabra

The best part of being back to an in-person @chaiandwhy is the informal discussions that happen over a cup of hot chai @PrithviTheatre. A sunny but pleasant Mumbai morning and never-ending questions on everything from dark matter and Lagrange points to sun shields and exoplanets!
I'm all set for Year 14 Session 1 of @chaiandwhy great to be back @PrithviTheatre

Don't miss this "hot take" by @Simranvirdi21 on the science behind this year's @NobelPrize in #Physiology! She will explain how cells in our bodies sense #heat and #touch signals as part of this week's @chaiandwhy session. Sunday, Dec 5 | 11 am IST | Link in the tweet below
December is time for the science & stories behind the Nobel Prizes! Sun. 15/12 we'll have @Simranvirdi21 from @NCBS_Bangalore tell us about work on touch and heat sensing in cells that led to the 2021 Physiology/Medicine prize. Zoom, YT, FB links: tifr.res.in/~outreach/cw20… #scicomm
Reminder Folks! See you tomorrow at 11am. #birdwatching #beginner #trysomethingnew #hobby #science #observe #nature Link: youtube.com/watch?v=O_98Qd…
Our upcoming session introduces the wonderful world of birdwatching! On the banner are two small colourful & cute bird. Left: a coppersmith barbet (you've most likely heard its tuk-tuk sound even if you haven't seen it) and right: a nectar-sucking purple-rumped sunbird. #scicomm
Our campus, a little green pocket in the concrete jungle of Mumbai, hosts a variety of beautiful birds. Catch @Adithi_M at the next @chaiandwhy where she'll introduce us to observing birds. Do check out birds.hbcse.tifr.res.in to listen to the sounds of the birds @HBCSE_TIFR!
Our session on Sun 21/11, 11 AM IST will have @Adithi_M, @HBCSE_TIFR take us through the delightful world of bird watching. How does one figure out what's that bird outside? Did you know Nov 12 is "birdwatching day"? On Zoom, YT, FB, Links/info: main.tifr.res.in/~outreach/cw20… #scicomm
