Here one of our volunteer. Few days back rescued a barn owl in very bad shape. After days of care he is back to wild. Beauty.
Currently few more under his observation.
This one is little impatient. Getting all kind of care.

Today is death anniversary of Vikram Sarabhai; the father of space programme in #India. We reached stars because he gave us vision. Founder of ISRO, Physical research laboratory, helped in establishing first IIM at Ahemadabad. In pic with young APJ Kalam. #Tributes.
Studied in Cambridge. Later during WW2 came to India & joined IISc Bangalore, physics department. Very few knows CV Raman was his doctoral advisor. It was the time when IISc had CV Raman, Homi Bhabha & Sarabhai at the same time in its campus. Giants walking same corridors.
There is a story behind CV Raman mentoring him.

When Sarabhai left Cambridge during WW2 his mentor there agreed only if Raman becomes his guide. For Which Raman agreed.

I don't remember his mentor from Cambridge. For more one can read book 'in pursuit of excellence'.

An Indian scientist who demonstrated to the world that plants have life.

On May 10, 1901 at jam-packed hall of Royal Society, London he demonstrated how plants have life with crescograph. Invented telegram. Remembering JC Bose, 1st modern scientist of India on birth anniversary.
He could record motion of plant tissues to about 10 K times of their actual size.

Demonstrated how Plant died like a rat due to poisoned bromide solution.

JC Bose became the first Indian to be appointed as Professor of Physics in the Presidency College, and later to IES.
JC Bose was Offered half payment vis-a-vis European professors, in protest refused salary for 3 years and taught.

In 1998, Dr. Probir found out how Bose was the real inventor of Wireless Receiver, didn't patent, but Marcony patented.

Remembering the giant. #JCBOSE

Today severe cyclone Nivar will hit eastern coast of India. In 12 seconds learn how coastal green shelter belts check tsunami & cyclones. Dutch research institute Deltares.
We are facing one more #cyclone today. So let me remind you. #Mangroves;

- acts as buffer & reduce impact of cyclones & #storm surge.
- they break the #wind force
- provide #habitat to #animals during cyclone or otherwise
- they reduce #pollution.

We just need to protect them.
So how it works. Mangroves create a maze & dense habitat. With species which are salt tolerant & have special adaptations. They act like buffer & which slow down wind & consume energy. So after passing, the storms get dampen. You must have read in ‘Theory of Vibration’.
