Letters From The Basement: April 2015
http://lettersfrombasement.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Letters From The Basement. Sunday, April 05, 2015. Pictorial warning on cigarette packs. A version of this blog was posted on my Tumblr. I want to ask if it is ethical to force the cigarette manufacturers to put up advertisements that would negatively effect their business. That too with their money and on the face of the product that they are trying to sell. Is it ethical for the government and the society in general to pick on just one kind of product? What about sugary drinks? News outlets’ main...

Some thoughts on academia in India - focussing on the hiring process. Thursday, 30 July 2015. Getting a real job. Being within one's comfort zone may be a bad thing, but it is indeed comfortable. Having been a student all my life until now, it seems that I don't want to stop being one. I have really enjoyed my PhD and postdoc duration since I was able to completely focus on research problems without having to worry about many other things. Wednesday, 1 July 2015. In most American and European universitie...

Life in IISc: February 2015
http://giridharmadras.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 23, 2015. There is an extremely well written article on publishing/publishers/high cost of journals etc. that has appeared in the latest issue of Current Science. The article. Seems to focus on mathematics journals but the principles there are applicable to all fields. Unfortunately, another book which promises much from the title, "Do We Still Need Peer Review? Fails in the quality of the content. Read the review of the book. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Life in IISc: December 2014
http://giridharmadras.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 24, 2014. To Prof. Ashutosh Sharma. Who has been confirmed as the DST secretary. He is an outstanding scientist. And someone I look up to for research. He also writes wonderful poems and he presented me a great book. I think he will miss doing research in IIT, Kanpur but I feel his contribution to science will increase by taking over this position. Links to this post. Tuesday, December 9, 2014. Another new impact factor by Scopus. Of course, you have the famous journal impact factor.
