From personal experience, it's the perfect place to listen, learn, and interact with people working in population genetics and Evolution in India. I would become a permanent participant if I had the chance! :P

Ashoka University threw Sabyasachi Das under the bus. His resignation/expulsion was expected. A sad day for academic freedom

Author of Paper on Possible ‘Manipulation’ in 2019 Polls Quits Ashoka University

Sabyasachi Das’s paper was attacked by BJP leaders and the university quickly distanced itself from his study, prompting accusations of 'democratic backsliding in the academia'.

New mini-review now out in #MicrobioJ @MicrobioSoc! Beneficial mutations are critical to adaptation, but at risk of stochastic loss when rare. How can we estimate their chances of getting off the ground using #microbiology experiments? Read on! doi.org/10.1099/mic.0.001365

Cow vigilantes brutally thrashed Umed khan Baloch for transporting buffaloes in a pick-up van to Charotar, Gujarat, He was forced him to chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’. Incident from Gujarat, July 22. You'll hardly see any News Channel or News Anchor covering this Not so important news.

What a degenerate, not to mention petty and stupid, action, and even more degenerate applause from some (unfortunately) fellow academicians.

UAPA Event Cancellation: IISER Mohali issues notice to teachers critical of IISc Bangalore

The institute has directed two of its faculty members, who were the only two from IISER Mohali to register "dismay" over IISc's cancellation of a talk on UAPA, to explain their actions by July 13

How do cellular organelles control their size while competing for a shared subunit pool? Here @DebSBanerjee1 and I studied the problem of mitotic centrosome size control. We propose a new mechanism for robust size regulation via shared catalytic growth. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Catalytic growth in a shared enzyme pool ensures robust control of centrosome size

Accurate regulation of centrosome size is essential for ensuring error-free cell division, and dysregulation of centrosome size has been linked to various pathologies, including developmental defects...

Some of today's challenges such as climate change raise a question: do individuals adapt to environmental changes or do they go extinct? 🧐Check out our work on evolutionary rescue in a fluctuating environment, led by Loïc Marrec and @claudia_bank: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 🧵(1/5)

Evolutionary rescue in a fluctuating environment

No environment is constant over time, and environmental fluctuations impact the outcome of evolutionary dynamics. Survival of a population not adapted to some environmental conditions is threatened...

Hi Science Twitter - Currently I am unemployed and also trapped in swiss bureaucracy. Chances are high I won't get unemployment benefits. If anyone knows of a job opportunity for a theoretical biological physicist, in any domain I would appreciate it. Please RT.

Lovely to see our study out in mBio! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128… The short read : don't assume higher antibiotic resistance causes higher fitness in bacteria selected with sub-inhibitory antibiotics. With wonderful colleagues @diepesce @SumanGDas @Mark_P_Zwart and Arjan de Visser!
