The Birla Science Museum in Hyderabad and its stunning Kotasaurus Yamanpollieneis fossil are a personal favourite. It's almost always sparsely crowded, and I recommend it to anyone visiting Hyderabad. gpbaasri.org/dinosaurium/
On TTAS today, we vicariously traveled to science museums across India and the world. 🧪🌍 A dinosaur exhibit? A museum of microbes? An aviation collection? We talked about them all! 😍🦾 Have you visited a science museum? Tell us more!👇

One cannot guess the age of @TTASIndia with the massive impact you have made with it. It definitely looks like the effort of 'many years'. Congratulations to you and @KaushikLab 👏🏽 for running it and achieving new milestones each day.
In the recent chat with @Sci_Rio, I was introduced as the co-founder of a science outreach platform that has been running for some years now. It still seems a little unbelievable to hear someone talk about @TTASIndia that way, & it just instantly filled me with so much pride!✨

Working on something today, @KaushikLab and I looked back on our entire @TTASIndia journey. We realized that TTAS is a reflection of our own professional and personal values in so many more ways than we had initially thought. It truly is a passion project. 💜

Back to twitter after a long time. It is heartening to see how @TTASIndia is covering various aspects of science in its sessions while remaining true to their motto. Congratulations to this amazing initiative on being awarded the outreach grant once again 🎉 @sne_kad @KaushikLab
Next on TTAS, @rafeequemavoor will share with our young minds how science illustrators visually depict scientific material! Think of all the school textbook illustrations that fascinated us?!! 🎨🧪 #IOG

Really looking forward to this session! Can't wait to interact with the young and interactive audience of TTAS! @KaushikLab and @sne_kad have founded TTAS which holds weekly webinars about science for young minds (6-16 years).
Our next session is NOT 'one of a kind', it IS in fact 'four of a kind!' 4⃣ 🤩 We host the iGEM team from IISc Bangalore for a session on Synthetic Biology for young minds. With Nikhita, Nilay, Sukriyo and Aditya. #IOG 🧬🧪⚗️👩‍🔬🧑‍🔬

Recently, a high school student (& parents) came and asked for recommendations to learn science curiously (not exam centric). I recommended (i) @TTASIndia series, (ii) Visit @JNPlanetarium and their programs. What would you recommend. Pls suggest books at 8-10th level?
