Life in IISc: February 2015
http://giridharmadras.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 23, 2015. There is an extremely well written article on publishing/publishers/high cost of journals etc. that has appeared in the latest issue of Current Science. The article. Seems to focus on mathematics journals but the principles there are applicable to all fields. Unfortunately, another book which promises much from the title, "Do We Still Need Peer Review? Fails in the quality of the content. Read the review of the book. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Life in IISc: Congratulations

Wednesday, December 24, 2014. To Prof. Ashutosh Sharma. Who has been confirmed as the DST secretary. He is an outstanding scientist. And someone I look up to for research.

Life in IISc: July 2014
http://giridharmadras.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 25, 2014. As IISc, recognized as a deemed university under UGC, completes its admission to the four year UG B.S. program for the fourth time, I am frequently asked by everyone about the recent UGC notification. As many readers are aware, UGC has recently notified against dual degree programs. Professor Sanghi has written a detailed explanation regarding this. The IAFYO* has lodged a protest against this post for allegedly insulting their intelligence. Can IITs ignore UGC? Links to this post.
