Feels good to say - MY PAPER! 😁. We searched for Binary Black Hole merger signatures in @isro's AstroSat. And it's now on @arxiv! . Big thank you to @starlabiitb! . @Arxiv_Daily @iitbombay @LIGO @ego_virgo @KAGRA_PR @LIGOIndia @asipoec.
Do black hole mergers emit high energy radiation? No. But we need to be sure, so we search: and then put stringent constraint on black hole charge and other parameters!.Result of years of toil by @GauravWaratkar, now on arXiv: @isro @iitbombay @asipoec.

Never thought that the drop in birth rates can be explained by travel restrictions too!. Congratulations Amit for this fantastic work! ❤️.
#COVID-related travel restrictions reduced birth rates in US🇺🇸 and Canada🇨🇦by ~3% in 2020 and 2021; decline primarily driven by foreigners who couldn't travel to give birth in these countries. Study @AmJEpi by @mats_julius and Amit Sawant @math_epfl. 📰
