Fellow!

KVPY - This is an ongoing program by Department of science and technology of India. This is to encourage students who are interested in science. (For school students to pre- Phd level students)

For more details, check with,
http://www.kvpy.org.in  ( Applications are still not open  this year )

I missed this wonderful opportunity :( I'm too late to apply for it. Engineering students of 1st and 2nd year are eligible to apply. But, I'm at the end of my second year and applications for this year would open only by April or May. By May, I'l be completing my 2nd year :( 

So, I can't apply for it. I even planned a project for it. But, it's too bad that I couldn't apply. 
I shared this, so that some one could get benefited . Keep sharing this info with all the young  scientists (may be your neighbor's Kid/ your friends/ relatives) It may help some one who is really interested in Science. 

And another fellowship program is offered by IAS ( Indian Academy of Sciences ) , Check the link below for more details :

http://web-japps.ias.ac.in:8080/fellowship2012/ ( For this too applications are not yet open ) (for students as well as teachers)

Why these fellowships?
  • To motivate students who are interested in Science
  • To bring out the spark of Innovation in you.
  • To improve the wing of Indian Science and technology.
So, just give a try, apply and bring out the spark in you. 
Keep an eye over these websites and apply for it on time. (Don't miss as I did)
All The best, young scientists :)

Sea Butterfly!

Neih hou!  Don't roll you eyes wondering what it is! "Neih hou" is how you say "hello" in Cantonese. Guess what, I am in Hong Kong and therefore the language Cantonese. I came to Hong Kong this summer as an intern before officially joining as a PhD Student. This is my second experience abroad, far away from home, new language, new culture, I expected me to have a "really" bad cultural shock, but, actually I experienced only 50% of what I expected. For a girl who have used the marina beach only for eating "sundal", bikini in beach was a shock (FEEL FREE TO JUDGE ME!). The first time, I went to the big wave beach here, I was the only one who was totally covered, when everyone was enjoying their Beer, I was slowly sipping my lemon juice (THE ODD ONE OUT!). I realized how beautifully different the world outside is! There is no single standard for right or wrong, it varies in different countries, in different regions around the world. And it ...

The Butterfly flew for the first time!

Hi dear sweet lovely reader, Didn't meet you for a long time... Just after complaining about the stipend problem in the last post, I actually wanted to write a lot here, but, couldn't find time (Such a lazy girl, I am!). As you might be knowing, the author (me) is the butterfly here :P And, I flew for the first time!! YEAH! I FLEW! I flew like a butterfly! It was an awesome experience flying for the very first time! (ow, no! I dint put a trans-gene in my body and fly after getting  a pair of wings, but with a passport and VISA). I'm this girl, full of dreams wishing to do "this", "that" and "all kind of stuffs that one can do". And, one among those dreams was to fly one day! TO FLY FREE!(I mean, not free of cost :P, but liberation) I always wanted to fly in those big, big airplanes, but, I always have avoided that mode of transport. Reason? Obviously, it would burn a big hole in my dad's pocket (actually he can afford if I wan...

Plant Tissue culture - Basics

Hi, I know a bit about Plant tissue culture and I would like to share it here. Plant Tissue culture Rack Plant Tissue culture, to be simple, it is growing plants in laboratory (invitro). To be more simple, you grow plants in test tubes and bottles by providing them light, nutrient by mimicking the natural conditions. It is effectively used as tool for producing GM(Genetically Modified) plants. Don't confuse "plant tissue culture" with "HORTICULTURE" The basic of Plant Tissue Culture : Totipotency:  The ability of a single plant cell to grow into an entire plant is generally referred as totipotency. Plasticity:  The ability of plants to survive in extreme conditions by modifying their metabolism is generally referred as plasticity. Things you need to do plant tissue culture 1) Laminar air hood 2) Plant growth chamber 3)Chemicals for preparing medium 4)Autoclave 5)pH meter 6) Test tubes or Bottles with caps 7) Cotton plugs 8) Scalpels, Fo...
