You can’t have better teachers than Professors Subhash Lakhotia, L. S. Shashidhara and colleagues for fly biology. Apply for this ‘hands-on’ workshop on how teachers can use Drosophila for genetics, cell- and developmental biology. Ask the college teachers in your city to apply. And, enjoy a great intellectual week at @NCBS_Bangalore
Applications are open for the 8th hands-on workshop on using Drosophila melanogaster for biology laboratory classes at NCBS, Bengaluru (2–8 Sept 2026). 🗓️ Apply by July 6, 2026. 🪰 @bhupro

I have spent my entire life working on this and thinking about this for the past 4 years. I don't know what will happen in 20 years, but I can promise you that on the 5-10 year timescale, scientists are not out of their jobs. AI is going to massively accelerate the pace of science, increase productivity, let individual scientists make way more discoveries way faster, and is going to make science overall more fun. But the model is going to be collaboration between humans and AI, not replacement. The key difference here between science and e.g. software engineering is that science is not verifiable in any rapid/convenient way (unlike software), unlike programming. We still need humans for their scientific taste.
Today we all lost our jobs..... Three Nature papers showing that scientists in the conventional sense are obsolete At least read the first one.... the AI replaced all things that the scientist does .... nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Congratulations @doctorsoumya
Breaking news! Dr Soumya Swaminathan @doctorsoumya has been elected as FRS, Fellow of Royal Society, one of the highest global hours that a scientist can receive. @royalsociety With her father Bharat Ratna Prof Swaminathan also being elected as FRS, this is the first daughter-father FRS duo from India. Also she is the second Indian woman scientist being elected in 365 years history of Royal Society, the first being Prof Gagandeep Kang. Very proud moment for Indian Science & indeed for us Indians. Heartiest congratulations dear Soumya! @PMOIndia @DrJitendraSingh @PrinSciAdvOff @CSIR_IND @ICMRDELHI @IndiaDST @DBTIndia @PuneIntCentre
