My paper on science pedagogy is out in @IAScDialogue. Using student responses, I reflect on the free ebook published by @IAScBng called 'Experiments in Animal Behaviour: Cutting edge research at trifling cost' by Prof. @ragh_gadagkar
Just out in Dialogue:
Soundarya Iyer writes about her experience in using R. Gadagkar's 'Experiments in Animal Behaviour' (a free e-book from @IAScBng ) to teach a mixed bunch of students:

Dr R Soundarya Iyer shared learnings from her study in 3 villages focusing on labor, land and credit options and opportunities. Industrial jobs are first taken up by men leaving women in the fields to be underpaid. Concurrently, women prefer working in non-agricultural sectors.
Soundarya Iyer retweeted
Dr Kalpana Satish moderated the panel on women land rights emphasising the role of caste and patriarchy. She also focused on the need to define what land and land rights mean. While only 13% of agricultural lands are owned by women 70% is their workforce participation.

It's a flaming hot summer in India with IMD issuing heat wave warning alerts in several states.
For journalists covering stories from the grassroots, it's the "Heat stress in rural India: Impacts on humans, habitats and livelihoods"

Listen to this wonderful conversation curated by @IAScDialogue between three trailblazing women engaged in science and the study of science on the occasion of the #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience. So much food for thought!

Happy to have my words out in @Peasant_Journal. Reviewed the ethnography by the brilliant @sahanagee . The book is a must read for anyone interested in borders, gender, agrarian rural lives and research methods too!
