Thread Early- & mid-career Indian scientists in India and abroad; those in industry, NGOs, universities, research labs. Across all sectors, basic and applied. Please do read and respond.
We are putting in place consultative groups of early- mid-stage- researchers, with connect to their field and its community. We will sound them out regularly, mainly through web-based interactions. We hope to have at least 100 members, and a third turning over each year.
We will address difficult topics, to regularly get your advice and participation. You are the leaders of the very near future.
Topics: From the origins of the universe and of life to, water, drought, energy, environment, waste- management, biodiversity, astronomy, etc., we will need your regular interactions and advice.
Social- scientists, economists, and those from civil society, also please apply. You all will be a sounding-board and a source of advice on how we should deal with the present, for our future.
If you are interested in being in this 'Principal Scientific Adviser’s consultative group', let us know. Go to psa.gov.in and to ‘Contact’, send your brief Bio, URL by June 21, 2019. Wil finalize first list by July 1 and will keep adding in specific areas as needed.
@PrinSciAdvOff tells me that we already have a few hundred registrants. Wonderful. Keep them coming and please publicize to those not on SM. We will send out mailers to institutions too and have the call up on our website also.
Our current thought is to use @slack as a communication platform with this cohort on each problem we will address. Any better suggestions? Keeping in mind that perfect is the enemy of good.
