One of the images from my recently published research article has been published on the cover page of the prestigious journal Animal Biology. I presented part of this work at Ento'22 organized by @RoyEntSoc and 4th annual conference of @india_evolution. doi.org/10.1163/15707563-bjaโ€ฆ

I have completed MA in Education from @OfficialIGNOU alongside my MSc & PhD in Zoology. Though I may not use it professionally, I pursued it to strengthen my teaching skills. My dissertation focused on the effectiveness of in silico techniques in undergraduate biology teaching.

Today, I demonstrated the systematic dissection of a fowlโ€™s eye to locate the pecten to the students of BSc Semester II Zoology (Major). First, I demonstrated the procedure myself, and then the students performed it independently. @magadhuniversi1 @india_evolution #zoology

Last year, a baby boy with a life-threatening metabolic condition became the worldโ€™s first patient to receive a personalized gene-editing treatment. The feat could pave the way for gene editors tailored to people with unique or ultrarare mutations. Learn more: scim.ag/3O8t4Yk @NewsfromScience

#SciHub is banned in India, institutes lack journal subscriptions, & small colleges are facing trouble availing ONOS. I have sent multiple emails to #ONOS helpline but in response I get a survey link meant for private colleges though our college is a government college.

Invited a @Harvard scientist to a rural college of Bihar: Today, I organized a seminar on the occasion of "National Science Day" where I invited Dr Whidul Hasan, Postdoc Scientist, @harvardmed for a lecture. He talked about "How Neurons talk: From Action Potential to Behaviour."

Today RNA may seem overshadowed by its glamorous cousin DNA, but many scientists think RNA molecules were the star players in the origin of life. By both storing genetic information and copying themselves, they might have touched off the march of evolution that produced increasingly complex life forms. So far, researchers havenโ€™t found RNAs that can replicate themselves, a key feature of living things. But they now have something close. In a new paper, researchers report creating RNAs that can generate a sort of mirror image of themselves and use that template to generate the original. Learn more: scim.ag/4azrUw4 @NewsfromScience

AI is cool and all... but a new paper in @ScienceMagazine kind of figured out the origin of life? The paper reports the discovery of a simple 45-nucleotide RNA molecule that can perfectly copy itself.
