The second edition of the Lab Culture series: Tracing the Making of a Collective brings out an array of artefacts from various practitioners of arts, science, design, and history.

The first wildlife underpasses built under NH 44 could help reduce roadkill on the Kanha-Pench corridor dramatically. That now leaves us with 55,000 km of roads through forests to tackle

A new species of lizard has been identified from forests and 'sadas' (laterite rocks) of Amboli, in Maharashtra. The discovery was made by an IT professional turned herpetologist and with three other researchers.

Fear memories formed before and after experiencing chronic stress can have very different behavioural effects. They also affect the brain morphology differently, finds a study.

Bees use waggle dance to communicate with their nest mates the flight distance and direction to foraging sites. Now, a research team led by Axel Brockmann at the National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS), Bengaluru, has studied how bees use complex memory to generate dance duration to communicate a change in foraging distance.

In a recent study, researchers at NCBS led by Prof Ramakrishnan, in collaboration with those from Stanford University, USA, have proposed a cost-effective alternative for analysing DNA samples. “It takes advantage of newer sequencing technologies that can be used to process hundreds of samples in parallel,” says Dr Meghana Natesh, a researcher at NCBS.
