As I get to speak to more and more research scholars in this country, I sense the increasing frustration in them on account of the usual peeves -- poor facilities and meagre resources. But something far more worrisome is the angst brewing up because of insensitive seniors. Sparks flew when a researcher scratched the surface of this controversial topic recently. I have been wondering if this is a majority situation. Are Indian labs really unfriendly towards young researchers?
What do scientists want to read when not reading scientific papers? This is the question we asked our potential readers in a country-wide survey before planning the content for Nature India . Why don’t I just begin by asking what you, our valued readers, want from NPG’s India-specific science portal that goes live in a couple of weeks.
I have no hesitation in letting out this little secret: topmost on the wish-list of our survey subjects was job information! We know exactly where the buck stops, don’t we?
Here’s your chance to have a say. What do you want to see on the pages of this portal?
