This is so heartwarming! Thanks @StorkSister you are truly inspiring. #BirdLove ❣️

It was a pleasant surprise to receive these lovely comic pieces from Savio Mascarenhas ji, the creator of Shambhu Shikari in Tinkle magazine. What made it even more special was seeing the joy and excitement on the faces of my twin daughters, Pahi and Hiya who read this magazine…

I have some brilliant news to share! I recently received a DFG-funded Emmy Noether grant to establish a group in Germany. I will soon be looking for a PhD student and a research assistant to join the team and investigate how the balance of power is maintained in animal societies.


Was out last night with frnds. 1 earring (gifted by a dear friend) fell off. Realised v late that I was wearing only 1 earring! Then we began the #Jhumka hunt (across 2 restaurants). We found it! If it is meant to be, it will come back to you. #SundaySong open.spotify.com/track/5oSP4LFK…

It’s now 12 midnight, and no one is sleeping in the tents… because sleeping is simply impossible. The bedding is completely soaked, and the rain is pouring heavily over worn-out tents that can no longer hold up. People have fled into the streets, to hospitals, to the remains…

What a wonderful opportunity for Indian researchers/students of ornithology, esp early PhD & Masters students. Hope that many will apply and many such initiatives will be made available to budding researchers in India. #SalimAli 🎂 #Small_is_beautiful #BirdLove

Considering the enhanced travel costs for students, IAN Executive committee and General Body approved to enhance the IAN travel awards to Rs 10,000/- from 2026. A welcome move for students willing to attend the next neuroscience meeting at @DBT_NBRC from Oct 6-9, 2026.
