A new Science study shows that bumble bees can position a ball underneath a fake “flower” to reach a reward, suggesting they can exhibit spontaneous problem-solving and challenging the notion that such advanced cognitive abilities are exclusive to large-brained vertebrates.

Recent experience with rabies vaccination led me to realise that many rabies related deaths in India might be due to improper handling and lack of cold storage for such vaccines.
cold chain in India is a joke. I was telling my friend how Amul milk failed the Trustified tests and showed bacterial growth. He just laughed and said what the hell were you expecting, they dont even maintain the cold chain for medicines and vaccines.🫠😭

Petition to feature buffalo trump.
Breaking news: Trump administration officials have pressed the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to design a $250 bill featuring the president’s portrait, in what would be the first appearance of a living person on U.S. currency in more than 150 years. wapo.st/4dQNsGj

It says more about the state of the opposition when a party of “cockroaches” starts to be taken seriously by the media and the government.

Don’t get the hate for Devil wears Prada 2. A well put together movie imo that didn’t back on the past so much.

Brits are in need of Indian political consultants to teach them pre-poll alliances and coalition politics.
The Greens won a ward in Birmingham with less than 21% of the vote

“Khate peete ghar ka” is actually a caste identifier and therefore anti-fat movement aligns with the goal of social justice /s
All RSS chiefs and upper cadre are fat. So are all the top BJP leaders. So does that make fatphohia progressive in the Indian context and the material conditions here? 🤔

January 6 insurrection incoming?
"I haven't lost and I won't resign:" @MamataOfficial . The single sentence that will stand in history as the sharpest and most pointed INDICTMENT of the way the @BJP4India -@ECISVEEP BRAZENLY RIGGED the Bengal Election of 2026.

Why is this giving vibes similar to when Saddam’s regime fell?
At Kolkata's heart of Esplanade, BJP has brought Bulldozer to destroy TMC's illegal party office.

Why is this account yapping so much?
So, let me get this straight. For years, India backs an autocratic ruler in Bangladesh who is overthrown by her people after a mass uprising/revolution, surprising everyone (including her Indian patrons). Rather than admit their mistakes, activists of India's ruling party then construct a false narrative to divert attention from their support of the fallen regime, which includes the ridiculous allegation that Hasina's fall was a foreign plot intended to bring radical islamists to power and terrorize the hindu minority. These same Indian actors then weaponize this narrative in India in support of the BJP's electoral campaigns in Assam and West Bengal, inventing the spectre of an islamic bogeyman and demonizing the Muslim minority. This propaganda effort proceeds for over a year, amplified by the Indian establishment and media. Now, after elections in both Bangladesh and neighboring Indian states, New Delhi seeks to reasserts its control over Dhaka while consolidating its political gains within India. You have to hand it to the @BJP4India, they have become masters at propaganda and political manipulation.

Bacteria move around using a molecular machine called the flagellar motor that rotates faster than the flywheel of a race car engine and switches directions in an instant. After 50 yrs, scientists have finally figured out how it works. “My lifelong quest is now fulfilled.” Link⤵️

For decades, biology textbooks have enshrined a simple rule: DNA is made by copying a template. After one enzyme unzips a DNA double helix into separate strands, another called a polymerase builds a complementary sequence, base by base, for each strand. Presto: two copies of the original DNA. But new research into how bacteria defend themselves from viruses now shows this synthesis rule isn’t absolute. Now, a team describes a bacterial enzyme that synthesizes DNA without a nucleic acid template, using its own structure as a guide. Learn more: scim.ag/4tTc5IA @NewsfromScience

The Octopus eye is trash compared to the human eye, and I'm tired of people treating the nerve arrangement like it's some brilliant innovation over ours. Time for another biology rant
Funny how “God” worked it out for the octopus but not humans. Huh.

Snake-oil styled news is what is mostly on my feed nowadays.
Indian Scientists Develop LPG Alternative Fuel 🇮🇳 Scientists at CSIR–National Chemical Laboratory (NCL), Pune have developed Dimethyl Ether (DME) gas as a potential alternative to LPG. > Uses a specially developed catalyst technology > Pilot project already producing ~250 kg of DME per day > Fuel has similar properties to LPG > Can work with existing LPG cylinders and infrastructure 👉 Large-scale adoption could reduce India’s dependence on imported LPG and strengthen energy security. 📌 Follow @_TheTathya for more such updates.

I thought of Taylor Swift…
They really need to give Taylor a Nobel Prize. The Taylor Rule effectively ended forty years of macroeconomic discourse. It made I/S-L/M look incredibly silly and even convinced Friedman of inflation targeting.

Plain hubris, very much in the mold of Icarus. And as with Icarus, the fall eventually follows; especially for those who, despite a deep inferiority complex, believe all knowledge begins and ends with them.
Calculus began here. At least 250 years before Newton was born. FYI : Newton was a plagiarist. His own colleagues accused him for it.
