Back from the ASI Symposium on Communicating Astronomy in India at IUCAA, Pune! 😍 Shared about our space scicomm efforts from @lifetoandbeyond, and it was amazing to connect with the astronomy community. 📡 Loved the tour of @IUCAAScipop and the #GMRT telescope. #SCAI2026

Life comes full circle through the smallest experiments 🧪✨ From a Chemistry student to my first #Chemistry Education opportunity at @iacskolkata! Presenting DIY Electrochemical Writing on Turmeric-NaCl Paper ⚡ Making Chemistry simple, accessible & fun. Grateful. More soon 😉

No, the Sun isn’t overhead at noon everywhere 🌏☀️ Today Kolkata had a #ZeroShadowDay at around 11:36 AM. Got to engage students from near Dumdum 💚. Mild rain, then clear skies. Hot, but worth it 🥵😍 #WorldEnvironmentDay #Astronomy #Kolkata

Take #Pride 🏳️‍🌈 — we’re all in Space 🌠 700 humans in space, yet no openly LGBTQIA astronaut. 12 walked on the Moon — all men. Space is vast. Our mindset should be too 💡 Representation matters. #PrideMonth #SpaceForAll #Diversity

All 'bout #ASI2026, Guwahati, Assam 🇮🇳 From experiencing #NorthEast, to sharing about #Space and #Astronomy #Scicomm efforts @lifetoandbeyond to conducting my debut #outreach in NE #India and networking with Astronomy professionals and enthusiasts from across 🇮🇳 and the globe😍.

Remembering #RajaRamMohanRoy on his 254th birth anniversary 🤍 At a time when institutions are tested, free expression is challenged, and rational thought often faces resistance, Roy’s legacy reminds us of the power of #criticalthinking, #secularism, #humanity and #socialreform.

Carl Sagan asked, "Who speaks for Earth?" 🌏 For 100 years, Sir #DavidAttenborough did 💚 From zero-G with NASA in 1984 🚀 to decades of showing us why our pale blue dot matters. Happy 100th, Sir David 🎂 Thank you for a century of wonder. #PlanetEarth #ClimateAction

As we wrap up with April 2026, let's not forget how legendary it has been for us Humanity🌐🚀🌕. Here's a humble effort to share about this legendary #Artemis2 mission in brief in Bengali✍️. Happy reading in #Bengali📖 from Bigyan Kahon, ISNA Kolkata. #scicomm #writing #space

This #WorldHeritageDay 🌍 we share a rare gem from our Space Archives 🚀 An autographed postcard by @gagan_shux, 1st #Indian #astronaut to the ISS 🇮🇳. Signed in Kolkata after Axiom-4, Dec 2025. Heritage isn’t just the past. It’s preserving milestones that shape our future 🌌

65 years ago today, Yuri Gagarin became first Human in space. Nov 1961, he told Kolkata: “India is very beautiful from above, but on Earth it is even more beautiful; real friends live here.” ❤️ #YuriGagarin #HumanSpaceflight

65 years ago the 1st Human was launched to space and today, Artemis II was safely back to Earth from lunar orbit.👨‍🚀🌐🔄🌕👩‍🚀 THE BEST IS YET TO COME! WHAT DO YOU THINK? #HumanSpaceflight #ArtemisII #YuriGagarin #SpaceExploration #Future

Posting a picture of the Moon I took using LIFE-To & Beyond Foundation® refractor telescope last month from Barasat near Kolkata before we receive photos tomorrow (in IST) morning from Artemis II🥹✨ Check out NASA live broadcast now: youtube.com/live/z-j1uxBmis0… #Artemis2 #scicomm

Tonight feels special for humanity. #ArtemisII 📡 Join Live NASA broadcast: youtube.com/watch?v=m3kR2KK8… ⏰ 3:52 AM IST (Apr 2) Few days back I watched #ProjectHailMary and now we’re hours away from the Artemis II launch🌎🚀🌕. For the love of science and art. 🎬

The Beyonder's Space Forum 2026 was a celebration🤩🥳🥳🥳. Few weeks back we celebrated 4 years of the @lifetoandbeyond and the National Science Day. #SpaceForAll #ScienceCommunication #STEM

GMRT📡📡📡🇮🇳 The Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope is one the crowning jewel of global science infrastructure in India. This Jan 2026, I had an opportunity to finally visit this facility in-person😍. @TIFRScience #Astronomy #RadioAstronomy #GMRT #NCRATIFR #Memories

In 1943, physicist Erwin Schrödinger delivered a remarkable series of public lectures, asking a question few physicists had seriously considered: What is life? At a time when biology and physics were largely separate, he attempted to bridge them. His lectures, published in 1944 as What Is Life?, Introduced a bold idea: genetic information must be stored in what he called an “aperiodic crystal,” a structure stable enough to preserve order yet complex enough to encode life itself. The book did more than speculate; it inspired. A generation of young scientists found in it a new direction. Among them were Francis Crick and James Watson, who would go on to uncover the double helix structure of DNA. Both later acknowledged that Schrödinger’s ideas guided them toward the emerging field of molecular biology. A decade later, in 1953, just months after that discovery, Crick wrote to Schrödinger, expressing deep gratitude. He noted that What Is Life? had sparked both his and Watson’s interest in genetics. Even more striking was how close Schrödinger’s intuition had come: the “aperiodic crystal” was no longer a hypothesis, but a reality. Today, What Is Life? remains a rare kind of scientific work, one that did not solve a problem directly, but changed the direction of those who would.

March 2026 has been a wild ride 🌍! But amidst the chaos, I'm glad I could play my humble part in organizing IAUS 404, a symposium on Advancing the Search for Technosignatures, with @BlueMarbleSpace and @IAU_org #SETI #IAU #ExtraterrestrialIntelligence #Astrobiology
