Happening today! Join us at 21:30 IST (16:00 GMT) to unravel the mysteries of spider venom and discover the potential of snake venom in cancer treatment! #VenomWednesday

Here at singapore attending the world congress on #Toxinology! Exciting time.

Returning from my first World Congress on Toxinology! Met Dr. Tim Lüddecke and Lennart (not sure what the placenta moisturiser was for)

Life update: Joining Evolutionary Venomics Lab Kartik Sunagar & Sasha (Alexander) Mikheyev for my #PhD ! Excited to investigate the mysteries of Serpentes. 🐍 #life #career #update #PhD

Very excited to share our Trends in Ecology & Evolution review paper on #punctuated_evolution: a pattern of long-term stability interrupted by dramatic changes. A thread on the origins of rapid change, from large #extinctions to socio-technological #disruption.🌍🧬🛠 doi.org/10.1016/j.tree…

Excited to present some cool research on snakes!

This week we are organising a 4 days workshop for our #SummerInterns. BEL members will teach them lab & field-based tools & techniques used in research in ecology. Also featuring a seminar by Manjari Jain and a special lecture by Stotra Chakrabarti, PhD who will be visiting us this week!

Our paper on the evolutionary ecology of Indian snake venoms is published in BMC Biology. We describe how biotic factors and life history traits (e.g., diet, sex, development) shape the venoms of India's clinically most relevant snakes: the spectacled cobra and Russell's Viper.

I'm thrilled to share the first publication of my PhD! In this work, we attempted to understand the biogeographic origins, dispersal routes, and major diversification centres of the speciose and widespread house geckos (Genus: Hemidactylus) Cont 1/4

Thrilled to pivot from exploring snake venom phenotypes to unlocking the secrets of subterranean life! Moving from venomics to cave biology, I’ll be diving into the evolution and genomics of cave-dwelling species across India & Australia. Excited for this next chapter!

Our work covered by Nature India! nature An amazing work brain-stormed with Kartik Sunagar and Senji Laxme R Raghunath Thanks to all who made this possible. nature.com/articles/d4415…

Rewarding!

In light of James Watson's death, I post this article which clarifies Rosalind Franklin's contributions to the discovery of the structure of DNA. It is richer than the conventional narrative. nature.com/articles/d4158…
