Two bustards, one shrinking desert: The race to save Rajasthan’s Great Indian Bustard

At Rajasthan’s Great Indian Bustard Conservation Breeding Centre in Sam, scientists are in control. Beyond those walls is a harsher reality.

Red rot is ravaging UP’s sugarcane belt. Farmers pinning hopes on scientists for a way out

In Baghpat and neighbouring districts, farmers are spending more on chemicals as red rot destroys cane. Scientists say replacing the dominant variety may be the only way out.

Why the young, rising Himalayas are so prone to disasters

The Nepal flash floods are another reminder that the Himalayas are dangerous terrain, where rocks, rivers, ice, earthquakes and weather are constantly interacting.

Moderna’s mRNA flu vaccine vs the conventional shot. What is different?

Influenza viruses evolve constantly and vaccine manufacturers have to keep up every flu season, because the strains circulating in one season may not be the one that dominates the next one.

1/5: V Kamakoti, director of IIT Madras, is on the hot seat. Again. Since he was appointed as one of the six members of the task force created to reform the NTA, Opposition politicians just won’t let his past comments on gaumutra go. 2/5: At IIT Madras, Kamakoti built the institution’s chip design programme from scratch. Under his leadership, IIT Madras has reached significant milestones. In 2023, it became the first ever IIT to establish an offshore campus in Zanzibar. 3/5: But Kamakoti’s journey up the academic ladder has hardly been that of a stereotypical IIT topper. The man who went on to be the chairman of the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) admits that he failed it once. 4/5: At a time when the ‘brain drain’ was sucking away talented Indian students to foreign universities, Kamakoti took a vow never to leave India. Even now, Kamakoti does not have a passport. 5/5: For more, read #ThePrintProfile by Janaki Pande Kamakoti is not the typical IIT grad. No passport, failed JEE, and a brilliant scientist and institution-builder, he is now set to help reform the NTA theprint.in/feature/kamakoti…

Kamakoti is not the typical IIT grad. No passport, failed JEE, he is now set to reform the NTA

From a remark on gaumutra to leading the chip design initiative, Kamakoti’s public image is one of stark contradictions. He isn’t easy to squeeze into a single box.

As reported by ThePrint, India's neuroscience journey is entering an exciting new chapter—and the Sudha Gopalakrishnan Brain Centre (SGBC) at IIT Madras is at its forefront. Bringing together engineers, neuroscientists, clinicians, and AI experts, SGBC is advancing human brain research through cutting-edge interdisciplinary innovation. The feature highlights the contributions of Prof. Mriganka Sur, whose vision of integrating engineering with neuroscience helped shape the Centre's early direction, and Prof. Mohanasankar Sivaprakasam, who leads SGBC's mission to build a world-class neuroscience ecosystem in India. A landmark achievement is ANCHOR—the world's most detailed 3D atlas of the human brainstem—enabling researchers to study the brain at an unprecedented cellular level and opening new possibilities for understanding and treating neurological disorders.
