Did you know that it is not possible to revoke a #NobelPeacePrize even if one is no longer worthy of the honor? Imagine #Hitler was awarded the #NobelPrize, he would still keep his prize after the #Holocaust. I think this is flawed and unscientific! bit.ly/370k0uV

You may not have heard or seen much of the atrocities Abiy is committing. This is because there's a complete communication blackout in #Tigray. Abiy has shut down the #Internet and blocked roads so no independent reporters are on the ground.

It is a Diwali tradition at IUCAA that second year students will choose the annual theme, and decorate IUCAA with traditional diyas and rangoli, but with a contemporary twist. All students and postdocs at IUCAA team up to create this Diwali magic.
Happy Deepavali everybody!
Happy Deepavali everybody!
