Aparna Agarwal, Kruttika Phalnikar and Deepa Agashe This article originally appeared in the 2016 edition of IMPRINT, the science magazine of the Dept of Zoology, St. Xavier's College, Mumbai. The issue focused on life in the dark, and we wrote about evolutionary adaptations to darkness. We thought we would share it with others. --- Look... Continue Reading →
New paper from the lab
Imroze and Arun's paper describing immunosenescence in flour beetles will be out in the January 2016 issue of the Journal of Animal Ecology! You can find the paper here. Here's a brief summary of the work described in the paper. In many animals, immune function decreases with age so that older animals are more likely... Continue Reading →
Lab at Bacterial Expressions II
We presented three posters and a talk in the second edition of the Bacterial Expressions conference at NCBS, and Laasya won a best poster prize for her poster on bacterial stress response via tRNA levels. Congratulations Laasya!
Announcing the first I-BEE conference on behaviour, ecology and evolution
Together with colleagues from various institutes, I am organizing the first Indian conference on Behaviour, Ecology, and Evolution at the Corbett National Park in March 2016. We hope to gather critical mass to discuss new work in these fields at a level that is currently missing. This should be an exciting meeting, and we hope... Continue Reading →
Lab presenting at Ethology & Evolution conference, IISER Mohali
This weekend, the beetle section of the lab will be presenting some recent findings at the National Conference on Ethology and Evolution (NCEE 2015) at IISER Mohali. The conference program looks promising, and we are looking forward to a fun meeting!
Announcing the 2nd Bangalore ICTS School on Population Genetics and Evolution
I am very pleased to announce a call for applications to the 2nd edition of our School on population genetics and evolution, organized jointly by Kavita Jain (JNCASR) and myself, and supported by the International Center for Theoretical Science, Bangalore. We have a fantastic lineup of teachers and two weeks packed with lectures, research talks,... Continue Reading →
Funded project assistant position available
We are looking for a project assistant to work on a project investigating the role of tRNA levels in bacterial adaptation to stress. The position will be for one year, and may potentially be extended for an additional year. The work will involve molecular biology and biochemistry techniques, so candidates with experience in standard procedures... Continue Reading →
