What does equity really mean in science? In Resilience and Representation in Research, Manisha Goel reframes it—not as charity, but as an investment in potential and participation. Written by Gayathri Sreedharan, edited by Moumita Mazumdar- https://lnkd.in/gx7Qun6e From navigating bias to taking a career pause for motherhood, her journey reflects a powerful truth: success in science is not linear. What matters is the freedom to choose—without guilt, judgment, or compromise. Through mentorship, resilience, and reflection, she highlights the need for inclusive systems and visible role models. Because real equity lies in enabling individuals to thrive—on their own terms. University of Delhi

At YIM 2026, breakout discussions revealed that building a lab it’s not just about science—but identity, culture, and resilience. Visual notes by Moumita Mazumdar capture how early decisions shape the “soul” of a lab- https://lnkd.in/gMQ2XAgm From choosing research directions to hiring people, one message stood out: people before projects. Mentorship, independence, and lab culture define not just outcomes—but careers. Because leadership in science is as much emotional as it is intellectual. In resource-constrained settings, persistence is key—network, adapt, and sustain momentum. There’s no single path: success depends on timing, clarity, and resilience. Building science means building people, systems, and possibilities.

𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐛𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭? 🌓 Research in chrono-immunology shows our immune system follows a circadian rhythm — shifting strategy between day and night rather than simply “switching off.” Read the full article (https://lnkd.in/gF5FQa3z) by Diptarup Mallick. At night, immune cells like T-cells move from the bloodstream to lymph nodes — shifting from frontline defence to memory building and repair. Molecular clocks like BMAL1 help regulate inflammation and immune timing. Sleep isn’t weakness — it’s immune optimisation. This research opens doors to “time-of-day medicine”: 💉 Better vaccine timing 💊 Smarter chronotherapy 🌙 New strategies for shift-worker health Biology isn’t just about strength — timing matters. About the image: Image created by Moumita Mazumdar using ChatGPT 5.2 version. Prompt used: Hand-drawn educational illustration showing the circadian rhythm of the immune system in a lively cartoon style. Include a daytime clock with sun, a nighttime clock with moon, a sleeping person, immune cells and microbes shown as friendly cartoon characters, arrows showing day–night immune activity shift, and light lab/science elements like molecules or medical tools. Soft watercolour texture, sketch-like outlines, educational infographic feel (an original reference illustration created by Moumita was given along with the prompt)

From Jurassic Park–inspired curiosity to immunology research, Sugitharini’s #JOYI2026 journey shows how scientific dreams can survive pauses. Through genetics, PhD research on neonatal sepsis, and a return to science after career breaks, her story reflects resilience and lifelong learning in Indian research. Read: https://lnkd.in/gXuKmMys Balancing pipettes and parenting wasn’t easy. From rebuilding lab skills after breaks to navigating research while pregnant and raising two young children, Sugitharini’s journey highlights the realities of motherhood in science — and the power of mentorship, support systems, and self-belief. Now working on sex-specific immune mechanisms in stroke, Sugitharini hopes to contribute to impactful healthcare research from India. Her message: career breaks are not endpoints. With persistence, learning, and support, rebuilding a research career is possible.

What is climate change, and how do we study it? Climate changes slowly over long periods, unlike daily weather, so scientists rely on long-term data. Where does this data come from, and can you access it too to study climate change?
