How will scientific education fare in a world obsessed with immediate benefits? .A joke:. Scientists: "Our research will benefit mankind in 200 years." . Funders: "Then come back in 200 years!". Share a thought on my article titled 'So what?'. #Science #Impact #education #REALITY

How could I ever be the meanest individual? I'm not even 'above average' at being mean (statistical impossibility!).

A surprising & little-known results in classical statistics:. Mean (μ) and median (m) are within one std deviation:. |μ−m| ≤ σ. For unimodal densities, bound is even tighter. |μ−m| ≤ 0.7746 σ. This beautiful results first appeared in a 1932 paper by Hotelling & Solomons. 1/3

Sachin, you graced those 22 yards in a way that no other man or woman has ever done. You graced the game of cricket on a level that has never been matched. From WG Grace to now, you stand above them all. ~Martin Crowe. Happy Birthday @sachin_rt .

Of course we have 'deep' batting! We bat right till Kul'deep' and Arsh'deep'!. @arshdeepsinghh @imkuldeep18 #TeamIndia.

I couldn’t be more thrilled that the Aussies won the World Cup. Talk about going into the lions’ den and coming out first. Well done all of them. it won’t do India any harm. They’re getting a bit too big for their boots!.

Worth a thought!.
The rift between scientists and the public is only getting larger. A few years ago we started an initiative called “Supper with a Scientist” to allow in a very informal setting - and over food - to bridge this gap. Maybe it’s time we bring something like this back.
