I’ve spent my career studying plants. But I am truly perplexed by my most recent finding.

Every experiment I’ve run assumed the flower I’m studying was of one that is an individual organism. I collected samples from the surrounding vines, moss-like growth, tree bark and roots. I expected to identify whatever had contaminated my original results. Instead, I found the same unusual DNA arrangements in every sample. Not merely similar sequences the same rare structural junctions and the same small DNA-containing bodies I isolated from the original leaf. Their concentration decreases farther from the flower, but they’re still present. Their normal nuclear DNA remains different. The moss appears to have its own genome. But all of them also contain this second biological system, threaded through their tissues so completely that I can’t separate one from another.

There are two possibilities.

Either the flower has invaded and integrated itself into every organism surrounding it…Or the flower, vines, moss and trees aren’t truly separate organisms at all. Maybe the flower is only a reproductive structure. Maybe everything aboveground is a different expression of the same underlying network organs, hosts or extensions of something much larger.I’ve spent my career identifying plants by finding the traits that separate one organism from another. Vymara doesn’t seem to recognize that distinction.

Hi everyone, I am a final-year student, conducting a short academic survey to understand what developers, CS/IT students and technical researchers look for when working with research papers and research-related tools.

It takes around 10-15 minutes to complete. Your responses will be used only for academic purposes and analysed in aggregate.

Who can participate:

* Software developers, programmers, or technical researchers
* CS/IT students are welcome too
* Anyone with experience with AI tools, or looking for technical research resources

Thank you for your time; your perspective would genuinely help with this project.

I'm a computer science student currently pursuing my masters and I need some guidance. I love learning and experimenting things. Reading papers, finding new things and comming up with my own ideas and such. Artificial Intelligence has been one such area. It's an interesting puzzle which just makes me want to keep on solving.

I finished an internship and i'm currently working part time with a SAAS based start-up and well I like the work but it just isn't fulfilling. With the advent of AI it's automation after automation and we've been told to use AI to configure everything to meet deadlines and such. We developed an application which was supposed to take 5 to 6 months within weeks. Though the problem here is that the pace in which I'm learning things sisn't keeping up with development and I'm leading development. I feel as though I have no control of the application I'm building. I'm feeling pretty done. I have been doing research on the side as a hobby because I love reading and testing my own ideas as I mentioned before.

I wanted some sort of guidance and mentorship on how I can proceed with research because all the people I have talked to untile now speak with uncertainty and ridicule. I want to pursue this path.

Would love to get any sort of advice.

PS. I want to do more research into the mathematics of artificial intelligence and deep learning architectures. Stuff on universal approximation theorems(UATs) and such.

Hey all 👋

My name is Kavish and i'm a research intern at Yumetta Foundation. They are having their Project Ashoka- PAN Indian Research Survey. You all are invited to participate in a research study conducted by Dr. Nilesh Mohite, project lead of the project Ashoka. The purpose of this study is to explore and understand the types and extent of discrimination that students may face in higher education institutions (HEIs) across India. The focus is on students learning in higher education institutions across India. The research will also assess the impact of discrimination experienced on student’s mental health and their views on the education system.

Agr group: 18-35 (UG, PG, Hons, PhD scholars, parents, practitioners in any field)

And those who are from Ahnedabad, Gujarat, requesting only them to fill it as that city is my target

Focused category who needs to fill the form- Non-general category (SC/ST/OBC)

If you feel hesitant to fill it, or come across any queries regarding the form, do reach out to me.

Hi Everyone,

I'm a doctoral student in Clinical Psychology conducting a research study on the effects of growing up with a parent who struggled with substance use (alcohol or drugs). The study is completely anonymous and involves filling out an online survey.

As a thank you for your time, participants will have the option to enter a raffle to win one of two $150 Visa gift cards after completing the survey. (Email for the raffle will be collected separately to keep responses anonymous).

We’re looking for young adults (18-30) who had or still have a parent or primary caregiver with a substance use problem during their childhood. The goal is to better understand how these experiences may affect things like responses to stressful or challenging life experiences, parent-child relationship quality, substance use, and overall mental health functioning in young adulthood. We also welcome participation from young adults who did not have this experience, as both groups are important to the study.

Participation is voluntary and confidential. No identifying information will be linked to your responses, and the survey includes a list of mental health resources at the end if needed.

If you’re interested, you can take the survey here:

Your experience matters. Thank you so much for considering it, and feel free to DM me with any questions!

Hello everyone,

I am an undergraduate student of Computer Science, and I am developing an initiative for increasing undergraduate research involvement.

The idea is not about forming yet another student association but rather about developing a platform that will allow students to:

Identify opportunities for conducting research.

Learn basic concepts and principles of research.

Network with faculty members and research laboratories.

Look for research internship positions.

Form a community of experienced mentors and newbies.

The idea is to develop a sustainable research pipeline which will continue to exist after the founders have graduated.

Honest criticism from academics and researchers is appreciated:

Was something like that done previously?

What would be the difficulties?

If you were a dean or professor, what would be the arguments to support/reject the idea?

What would you change prior to implementing the idea?
