Important work from the Light Matter lab. Answering a critical question that may have important connotations in the design of laser-tracking based devices (such as missiles, range-finders, etc.). @DRDO_India

Happiness. Because we won. Relief. Since Jemima's immortal classic would be in vain had we lost. Anger. Due to what this country has become, some humanoid monsters here are actually happy that Jemima didn't score too many runs today. Probably celebrating the catch she dropped.

Make science publishing like GitHub. Institutionalized publishing - one of the most profitable businesses around - is really stinking now. No accountability. Don't think this structure can be repaired. Change it! #8/n @Abhadra7 @ghonada @ydnad0 @Pavan_KumarGV @MenonBioPhysics

Is there no process in place to deal with such careless editors who are worse than clerks?! And mind it, this is one of the most respected journals in Physics - classic, old, etc. Makes one shudder about the mercenary ethos that has taken hold of Science. Any solution? #7/n

A week later I got a response from the journal. They were relieving me from reviewing responsibility due to the issues I had encountered. This was remarkable, since I had recommended rejection, and a conscientious editor would have had the authors respond to my comments! #4/n

I reviewed a letter paper in a Physics Q1 journal, and rejected it with an extensive review pointing out what I thought was a fundamental flaw in the concept itself. Then I got a re-review after a month, and saw that remarkably, the authors hadn't responded to my comments. #1/n

Even AI can get victimized by Whatsapp University! Eerily close to humans, right!! Now what is left is to procreate! AI creating its own progeny without human interference. And then...
This might be the most disturbing AI paper of 2025 ☠️ Scientists just proved that large language models can literally rot their own brains the same way humans get brain rot from scrolling junk content online. They fed models months of viral Twitter data short, high-engagement

Would be interesting to find out how Reviewer 2 felt when the Nobel for Physiology was announced in 2019! An interview with this Editor would also be interesting!
In 1992 Peter Ratcliffe received this rejection letter from Nature. His findings were not "a sufficient advance in our understanding". 27 years later he won the Nobel Prize for the same discovery. Don't lose faith in the things you believe in.

We're trying to develop sensors of Flouride and Arsenic embedded in water using our patented microbubble lithography technology! Let's see if it works. @khare_om @RiseIISER
In 2004, we saw a person aged 27 with bamboo spine. In a month or so saw another. Our hospital staff picked the fact that they belonged to same village but were not related (Kurkutia in Mayurbhanj dt, Odisha). Discussed the case with Prof Samuel Chittaranjan, spine surgeon of
