Furthering evolutionary ecology and conservation science in India: Insights from RYIM Tirupati 2026
Nandini Rajamani, Shivani Jadeja & Jahnavi Joshi
The Regional Young Investigators Meeting (RYIM) 2026 Tirupati, titled Furthering Evolutionary Ecology and Conservation Science in India, was held at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Tirupati, from 29 to 31 January 2026, situated at the foothills of the Eastern Ghats, a biodiverse and relatively underexplored mountain range. The location provided an ideal platform to highlight research across this region, while drawing attention to the growing fields of evolutionary ecology and conservation science in smaller towns and cities across southern India.

Rewriting the malaria code through RNA modifications: Insights from studies in India
Gayathri Govindaraju
Despite decades of global effort, malaria remains one of the world’s most devastating infectious diseases, with Plasmodium falciparum responsible for the most severe and deadly form. While extensive research has focused on the parasite’s DNA and proteins, a crucial regulatory layer of chemical modifications on RNA has only recently begun to attract attention. Understanding this hidden system of gene control could open new avenues for malaria intervention.

From curvature to creation: What π really measures
Sabahat Fida
Long before mathematics became a technical discipline, numbers were contemplated as a key to understanding the universe. From fractals to living patterns, constants like π reveal how nature unfolds through lawful constraint. More than measurement, π links straightness and curvature—quietly shaping form, rhythm, and biological order across scales.
