The world isn't exact & approximations are more useful to deal with the real world. Piyush Srivastava will takes us on a historical journey of how approximations have helped understand the world. In person @PrithviTheatre & on YT Live (no chai!) https://t.co/xBv6Lo0RUw
#scicomm
Ever wondered why and how approximate could be "good" when "exact" is hard to find? What is the theory and practice of mathematical approximation? At 'Chai and Why?' on Oct. 5, Prof. Piyush Srivasatava will discuss these and more. Welcome! @TIFRScience @TifrArnab @SciComm

We can adapt, cope with the stress. But prolonged stress can affect the brain, changing how one feels, think and even remember. This Sunday, Prof. Vidita Vaidya shall discuss how chronic stress can set the stage for decline in brain functions. @ViditaVaidya @TIFRScience

This Sunday, we take you on a virtual visit to "Protein Biochemistry Lab" to see how proteins react to stretching, dunking, crowding, and even bombarding with salts and heavy metals. And why these studies are scientifically exciting!
