How AI is changing research and education in life sciences
Artificial Intelligence is revolutionising various aspects of life sciences, from drug discovery and disease diagnosis to education, showing great promise in improving healthcare and enhancing learning. But, caution is needed in its application, considering challenges like lack of generalisation across patient populations and the risk of over-reliance, as human collaboration and thoughtful use remain essential for its successful integration.
In Search of Drinking Water
Researchers at IISc are working on innovative solutions to improve water quality In August 2011, K Kesava Rao, Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering, visited the village of Yellampalli, about 100 km north of Bangalore. The residents of the village were faced with a huge problem: water scarcity. To make matters worse, the available groundwater seemed contaminated.
Spreading the word about the Narcondam Island and its beautiful hornbills
Narcondam Island of Andaman is the only home for the Narcondam hornbills. Rohit Naniwadekar and his team ran a science outreach project to spread awareness about the vulnerable island ecosystems and sensitise communities who live and work around these areas. The team is also an awardee of 1st IndiaBioscience Outreach Grant. In this article, Joel uncovers the journey, experiences, logistics, highs and lows of running an outreach program intended for on ground stakeholders.

Study learns how brain handles sudden distractions, could help create mental health tools Original
A representational image of a human brain | David Paul Morris/The Brain Observatory/Bloomberg Text Size: Bengaluru: There are a lot of things to focus on while crossing roads — traffic rules, being on the lookout for potholes (not your phones), etc. But when a vehicle whizzes in out of nowhere, you can sense it and stop in your path. How does our brain process this ‘salient event’ — sudden events that reorient our attention during routine tasks — even as it is focussed on something else?
Money and mental health in Indian academia
Studies suggest that prolonged financial instability can be a major contributor to mental health challenges. There is great disparity in the level of remuneration and financial incentives offered to graduate students in India, a population that is highly vulnerable to mental health issues. In this article, Joel explores some of the issues early career researchers face with regards to their financial security, and how these can leave an impact on their mental well-being.
A Mini Forest in an Urban Jungle
A small woodland in IISc is the result of a successful three-decade-long ecological experiment A panoramic view of the old CES building and the location of the mini-forest shot at the Silver Oak Marg in IISc (Photo: Subash Chandra NS) In the heart of Bangalore, a city known for its beautiful gardens and majestic trees – now dwindling – lies the lush green campus of IISc. Within it is a small patch of unmanicured woods, populated by over 49 tree species, many of them from the Western Ghats,...
