Happy to share our latest paper published in Science Advances @ScienceAdvances @AAAS. Congratulations to my incredible students, Sandeep @Sandeep61011718, Roopali @RoopsieK (joint-first author), Anusha @AnushaSarbahi & Ashish @AshishJ87810510 @IISERMohali.

Vitamin B12 structure determination by Dorothy Hodgkin was a tour de force. It's mind-boggling to imagine that such a complex exquisite molecular structure was solved at the atomic resolution 70 years ago in 1955. It was such a quantum leap in structural chemistry and biology.

Happy to share our community note published in Nature Communications. In this 14-page article (34 authors from 9 countries), we discuss current practices in biomolecular phase separation and hope it will be useful to the biomolecular condensate community.

We mix together and spark the gases of the primitive Earth: hydrogen, water, ammonia, methane, hydrogen sulfide - all present, incidentally, on the planet Jupiter today and throughout the Cosmos. -Carl Sagan, Cosmos (1980).

In my laboratory at Cornell University we work on, among other things, prebiological organic chemistry, making some notes of the music of life. -Carl Sagan, Cosmos (1980). It'd have been fascinating to work with him to address the central question of our existence on this planet.

Now rereading "Cosmos" by Carl Sagan after 25 years. This 1980 book is a page-turner and a must-read book for anyone who is interested in the story of cosmic evolution, science, and civilization.

RT @GaitiHasan: This story is about Prof. P Babu isolating a key mutant in C. Elegans that subsequently led to the discovery of microRNA.

It's so wonderful to see that the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Jodhpur featured the exciting research being carried out in the laboratory of Neha Jain @Jain_Lab, my former PhD student @IISERMohali. We are very proud of Neha! .
