The peer-led proposal-development workshops at NCBS-TIFR, Bengaluru, and BRIC-NCCS, Pune, concluded today!
Organised by IndiaBioscience in collaboration with @ANRFIndia, with @NCBS_Bangalore and @DBT_NCCS_Pune as partnering institutions, these sessions brought prospective applicants together with current grantees and experienced researchers to exchange insights, discuss research ideas and explore the practical aspects of developing a strong proposal.
The conversations emphasised the value of peer learning, mentorship and learning from researchers who have navigated the funding process themselves.
📍 Coming up next: Workshops in Bhubaneswar, Delhi and Hyderabad!

What made D. D. Kosambi such an enigmatic polymath? @dineshcsharma explores Ram Ramaswamy’s D. D. Kosambi: One Life, Many Worlds and the remarkable intellectual journey of a scholar who moved across mathematics, genetics, history, Sanskrit and peace activism.

The article is edited by @MitraSiuli, Executive Director, IndiaBioscience.
Created by @MoumiMazumdar using ChatGPT (GPT-5.6 Luna), OpenAI. Prompt: Editorial illustration of D. D. Kosambi’s interdisciplinary life, combining mathematics, genetics, history, Sanskrit, science and peace activism in a vintage ink-and-watercolour collage. This was then edited to add the cover image of the book.
From the Kosambi distance function in genetics to the Karhunen–Loève expansion, his work crossed disciplinary boundaries. Yet his life also reveals contradictions, institutional tensions and ideas that did not always stand the test of time.

Starting with an organism she already knew, Shahira developed Drosie the Fly, using storytelling and hands-on activities to introduce children to biology, genetics and scientific observation. A pilot programme reached 79 children aged five to ten.
