Spain's large-scale study on the coronavirus indicates just 5% of its population has developed antibodies, strengthening evidence that a so-called herd immunity to Covid-19 is "unachievable," the medical journal the Lancet reported cnn.it/3f3MczV

.IISER Pune and SPPU have joined hands to conduct an epidemiological survey in PMC areas. The project aims to estimate the proportion of the population affected by Covid-19 and suggest measures to help boost immunity against the infection. Great job👏 bit.ly/IISER-SPPU-PMC

Truly delighted to hear this. Thank you.

Me and my Mom joined PhD during the same time. While I got to focus solely, she had to juggle between her job as a lecturer, PhD and household commitments. And this is a sweet fruit of her labor, her first pub.😀#ageisjustanumber mdpi.com/797502 via MDPI

BREAKING NEWS: The 2020 #NobelPrize in Chemistry has been awarded to Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna “for the development of a method for genome editing.”

One of the most exciting projects I’ve had the opportunity to work on. A journey quite challenging but equally fulfilling! Our paper has now been accepted for publication in Chemical Science. 😊 pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Art…

So delighted to see this! #myfirstChemSc in the #ChemScPicks

In our next Scholar Story, meet Prerona Bora, a final year PhD student at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Pune. Prerona tells us about her inspiration and her journey towards becoming a researcher. Read more: indouk-iscc.net/scholarStoryDe… Prerona Bora

Our paper is now accepted for publication Chemical Communications . Had a lot of fun working on this one

A probe developed in our lab IISER Pune by Ravikumar Govindan based on work done by Dharmaraja Allimuthu is now available in Merck.

Take a look at this new article from Harinath Chakrapani and first author Prerona Bora from IISER Pune on small molecules that mitigate oxidative stress in cells. rsc.li/3It2Mat

A year ago, a non-academic friend listened to a talk I gave. I thought it went great. My friend disagreed. She said that academics are experts at making interesting stuff boring—and that we should all take a speech class. So I did. And here are 6 most useful things I learned.

Congratulations Prerona Bora on successfully defending your thesis today! Wonderful work and wish you all the very best in your next steps. PhD no 10 from our lab! Prerona Bora IISER Pune

Wrapping up this chapter of my life as Prerona Bora, PhD. It’s been quite a journey and I’ve nothing but gratitude for everything that has led me to this moment. Harinath Chakrapani thank you being a part of my journey!
