Indeed, such a beautiful campus! With such a nice team of Bio faculty @bio_iisertvm @tvmiiser Wonderful symposium-amazing talks by speakers and students. Energetic poster sessions! Was glad to present our work, and meet excellent scientists from across the country!
Not too many campuses in the country that can match @tvmiiser for all its natural beauty. It’s been a warm day here, with the science and conversations being equally great. Looking forward to day 2 of FSiB.
