It feels like just yesterday we were working side by side at the bench. Today, we’re sharing the same platform again—this time presenting our work as new PIs. Grateful for the journey, the mentorship, and how far we’ve both come. @Prak16_Jay @NewPhyt @bhupro

Great start to the @NewPhyt special workshop at @iiserbhopal! Excellent opening talks by Prof. Ute Hoecker (@UniCologne ) and by @TheLahaLab (@iiscbangalore) on “Light-mediated development in early and land plants.” Wonderful organisation by @sdatta7925 and Prof. Liam Dolan.

Dear @FedExHelp, our package performed a miraculous two-day sprint from the USA to Bangalore, only to apparently decide it needed a four-day scenic tour within India. We paid for 'Fast Delivery,' not "Cultural Immersion." Could we gently encourage it to finish its journey,
