Looking forward to this. 🥳 The founder of @PARInetwork, one of the most irreplaceable publications in the country, is speaking at #IISERPune, likely drawing from his recent book. @IISERPune @PSainath_org

piped.video/vNvyXBMtBCA I'm really glad I sat down with @Sukanya_Gemini to talk about pursuing nonacademic interests alongside my PhD. She's a good friend and obviously, a delight to talk to. 😁

I'm not colourblind myself, but the viridis colormap first got me thinking about it; I think this would be a great way of creating plots that more people can understand and interpret. Available on matplotlib, seaborn and R.
Colour blindness: a thread. I’m colour blind and I’ve noticed that people have trouble comprehending what that means. Here are some photos to help you see the world the way I do.

fairkraftcreations.com/ are selling 3-layer masks made by artisan communities in Channapatna, put out of work by the Covid-19 lockdown. Sturdy, beautiful and available on Amazon; Rs. 350 for three masks. Also check out their website for wooden toys and much more!

@IISERPune being wholesome; just heard from @Selveshwari that all potted plants from the hostels have been moved to a common area where they're being watered and taken care of. ❤️🦉

Looking likelier by the minute-wtf Providence? 😭 Don't get me wrong, I'm not against precautions, but I'm also very pro crying about the state of my PhD. #coronavirus #AcademicChatter #phdchat

@reliancejio, stop harrassing people over a bloody recharge. Texts like these for at least a *week* before my plan expires, and now, recorded msgs *every* time I place a call-in Hindi, Tamil and English asking me to recharge. Takes a full min to dial! Leave me the f*** alone.
There it is, the reason and sole purpose of my journey. 🦉

To all the good bois and gurls in history. 🐕 Is this a secret @dog_rates-@IISERPune collaboration? I'd be so down with that.

Some Aspects of Earlier Indian Society and Polity-Dharampal. Required reading if one is desirous of finding out what underlies Indian society as it is currently seen, and more generally, the human condition. (I've been reading a bit too much of the old British writing, ugh.)
Science, down-to-earth, grassroots,... You see where I'm going with this. So, science. 🦉 UG bio posters @IISERPune.

This is absolutely prosperous. Any one who has seen the 2017 documentary, Kakkoos knows this to be a blatantly inflated claim at best. India is not yet "Swachh", and saying that it is ignores all the torture still inflicted on low-caste sanitation workers. piped.video/-UYWRoHUpkU
Five years and 1.3 bn people - this is the world's largest sanitation revolution yet. This 2nd October 2019, India dedicates a #SwachhBharat to Bapu - a befitting tribute to the Father of the Nation on his 150th Jayanti. Swachhata Hi Seva Hai. #Gandhi150 #SHS2019

Tone-deaf promotion from @ZomatoIN. IPL was a sporting event, while this election may even be a matter of life and death for some people. Look at @scroll_in's brilliant series on the magnitude of these elections, and the concerns and challenges around them.
