Richard Dawkins' Selfish Gene turns 50. #VidyanandNanjundiah, one of our deepest thinkers, revisits it to find the treatment on kin selection still compelling but much else polemical n dated. #evolution ttps://doi.org/10.13133/2532-5876/19646

A delight to start the day with a piece in @scroll_in by @arvindsubraman on Marwa through anecdotes n charming musings. As a Marwaphile, i offer an immortal chanchalya bhaav version: youtu.be/L57EN2IXTwE?feature… by Vasant Deshpande. Recall many silly debates on whose Marwa was better.

Why do circulating ovarian cancer clusters hve #ECM? How do clusters survive confining anatomies? Do clusters show heterogeneity in mechanics? Team led by @TavishiD & @JimpiLangthasa frm @iiscbangalore answer in bit.ly/41OWZsb Ack: @IFCPAR @GoI_MeitY @India_Alliance
Work from groups of @ramrayb & @prosenjit_cens at @iiscbangalore shows that the ECM of ovarian cancer spheroids makes them hollow and elastic, increasing resilience to disintegration in confinement bit.ly/41OWZsB

Researchers from the @iiscbangalore have built organs on chips to simulate cancer metastasis. They examined how cancer cells respond under conditions of ageing and diabetes, finding that stress enhanced metastatic potential. @RamrayB

If you are in a place where things are mostly conducive, and people are largely supportive, but you still settle for mediocrity, it is completely on you. You can not blame the system for this. Dream big, aim for the sky, and pour your heart and soul into what you are doing🙏😎.
