While the PI remains at the forefront, the actual working force behind all the outcomes, i.e. hands and brains of team members, often remain overshadowed. Also, why should only the girls have all the fun in Navratri/Durgapujo?
Proud to support the 2025 European Drosophila Research Conference (EDRC) and publish important Drosophila research across our portfolio of journals. edrc2025alicante.com #EDRC2025
I am grateful to the @ANRFIndia International Travel Scheme (ITS) for supporting my participation at #EDRC2025 in Alicante, Spain. These initiatives help early-career researchers like me share our work globally and build potential collaborations. #ANRFIndia
I am honoured to receive the DMM Conference Travel Grant, which will support my participation at #EDRC2025 in Alicante, Spain. I am grateful to @Co_Biologists for this opportunity to present my research and engage with the Drosophila community. #DMMgrants @DMM_Journal
Excited to attend the 28th EDRC in Alicante, Spain! I’ll be presenting a poster and look forward to four days of engaging discussions and new collaborations. Do stop by—I’d be glad to connect.#EDRC2025 #AcademicTwitter #Drosophila

Huge congratulations to Dr. Rachita Bhattacharya @fly_rachita on her PhD defense 🎓✨. A big shoutout to her amazing supervisors, Prof. Pradip Sinha and Prof. Nitin Mohan, for their guidance and support. @BSBEIITK1 wishes her all the best in her future endeavors! #ProudMoment
🚨Another PhD Scholar Dies by Suicide @IITKanpur 4th Case Since Jan 2024! Research scholars across India continue to struggle under academic pressure,financial hardships, and inadequate mental health support. Premium institutions are turning into suicide hub! #Urgent_reforms
The sheer amount of paranoia that accompanies my travel in Indian Railways is something else. Last year my phone and wallet were stolen in the middle of the night, and now I’m losing sleep battling cockroaches. 11 down so far—me vs. pests, round two. 🚆.
Excited to share our latest work in #PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… Our study reveals a novel role of Yorkie, as a tumor suppressor. A fresh perspective! Grateful for the guidance of @sinha_pradip @NitinRammohan & the team's @fly_rachita @extrovert_alert @sparihar0706 efforts.
