#IITB
Once upon a time, IITB ranked amongst India’s top educational institutions. Now it promotes the local version of eugenics, even as it disallows dialogue about Ambedkar-Periyar thought.
Hopefully, IITB alumni in the chadD community will love this evisceration of science in their alma mater.

Garbhashastra charlatanry in IITB, gaumutra enthusiast in IITM, astrology courses in IIT-BHU.
Demagogues know that scientific curiosity and inquiry are antithetical to their politics. They ruthlessly attack academic and research institutions which represent an existential threat to their despotism.

New paper alert! Miniemulsion polymerizations are so useful for many things. Yet, bringing them from the lab to scalable synthesis is something that isn't easy. Using a combo of spinning disk reactor and agitated reactors, we solved that issue! Well done, Gayathri!

I recently gave a popular level talk on the history and mystery of black holes to students of IITB.

The talk covered:

History of black holes
Understanding black holes with Penrose diagrams
Black hole information loss paradox

Give it a listen!
