We are deeply saddened by the passing of Mr Ratan Tata. The nation has lost one of its most inspirational figures. @TIFRScience is deeply indebted to him for being a major guiding force to the institute and for his unwavering support over the decades. We will miss you Mr. Tata.

Mumbai has a Maths Circle! Led by faculty from TIFR, maths enthusiasts can meet up on Saturday afternoons at St. Xavier's College. The first session was by the ever-enthusiastic Mahan Mj who took the audience through a delightful 2000 year journey of geometry.

LIVE from TIFR: Prof. Ashoke Sen on why particles might not be particles at all. What if electrons are just vibrations of a string? Why haven’t we seen the string? Because it’s tiny—like, 10⁻⁴³ cm tiny. Gravity, dimensions, black holes, phases of reality—this is string theory.
