One of those moments for me when I will be speaking to a scientist I admire a lot. Dr. Gopi Sundar and his team have been looking at the conservation value of the agricultural areas. Can farmers and birds co-exist ? Tune in tomorrow to get answers.@gopisundarks @shashwatdc

Ugh! This sounds like Adani’s interests are India’s interests? 🤔 or may be Adani’s interests = govt’s Interests! Clearly our investigating agencies need some training on social sciences and what constitutes “public interest”. @karunanundy @ananthoo1 @ChristinMP_ @paranjoygt https://twitter.com/dshah1983/status/1651401517990129666

“While the 40-page FIR document reviewed by The Indian Express reproduced a legal status report apparently prepared by LIFE in 2016 on a number of thermal plants and coal mines, it specifically named only one affected entity, twice: the Adani Group. https://t.co/lBtEiOkxl2”

Evolution removed from textbooks by India's governmental education body. Sad times.

And the poor picture choice by India Today demonstrates exactly why more people need to be taught evolution.

how appalling is this for #India, 22nd in the world and 0.66% of #GDP in r&d expenditure?

india needs to spend at least 4% of gdp in r&d to be a developed economy ($25-30 tril $ by 2050) w a higher std of living for her citizens.

The Cantor's giant softshell #turtle is an elusive freshwater species on the verge of extinction.

But all hope is not lost, as biologist Ayushi Jain is on a mission to save this rare reptile. Tune in this Friday to learn more about her work in the field.

My mom have savage reviews on google & was genuinely scared her VISA will get rejected. In the next round, they were treated well and were given free coffee but I have no idea if those reviews were what did it. Overall, profit driven dehumanising. It is what it is.
making them desperate enough to pay >10 times the price for printing & photocopying! Not only that but food and drinks are not allowed into these offices - so my parents sat there for almost an entire day without a meal or coffee because everything is overpriced in there 2/3

My dad had a fight with the Bangalore VFS Global people on this issue. It sucks how these companies exploit people’s fear of being rejected by the VISA authorities & of losing their appointment (after months of waiting time!) 1/3

India's central investigating agency has now set its sights on one of the country's finest environmental lawyers for questioning coal projects.

Ritwick Dutta and LIFE should not have to prove their decades-long service to the nation and underserved communities seeking justice. https://twitter.com/barandbench/status/1649579952453591041
