Third Annual Report for the year 2011-12. The Centre has been emerging as one of the leading institutions in the country for higher learning and research in frontier areas of science and engineering. The Centre has also been recognized as a Deemed to be University. There is a steady increase in the number of research students in the Centre pursuing various academic programmes. The present student strength is 266. 73 students joined the Centre during August session of 2011 including 8 students who joined during mid-year admission of January 2012. 6 students were awarded with M S (Eng.) degree, 2 with M S (by research), 9 with M S (Materials Science) and 18 Ph D degrees. In order to provide opportunities to teachers and others to obtain training and for carrying out science education projects, the Centre is offering a postgraduate diploma programme in science education. The academic, research, fellowship and extension programmes have been progressing as envisaged. The publication record is growing steadily. The faculty members have made significant scientific contributions. It is a matter of great honour that Prof C N R Rao has been felicitated with H K Firodia Lifetime Achievement Award, 2011 and Einstein Professorship of Chinese Academy of Sciences. The prestigious H K Firodia Award 2011 for Excellence in Science & Technology to Prof. Roddam Narasimha and the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar prize to Prof. S. Balasubramanian have added pride to the Centre. The continuous recognition of our faculty members with several honours has reflected our standing within academic peers. This year significant progress has been made in all spheres of academic activities at the Centre. A series of programmes were organized by Education Technology Unit (ETU) and Hall of Science toward the promotion of science education. C.N.R. Rao Hall of Science and ETU organized and conducted the program to award the Prizes for Outstanding Science Teachers for the year 2010 donated by the C. N. R. Rao Education Foundation. Shri. Arvind Gupta and Mrs. M.S. Prabhavathi were awarded the prizes. C. N. R. Rao Hall of Science and Education Technology Unit along with SOP-ETU took up a project of conducting four Workshops for 100 Pre-University Teachers from different places in Karnataka in using the College Chemistry Kit. The Science Outreach Program has become an important academic component of the Centre. Many school children and teachers were exposed to the excitement of Science through various programmes at the Centre. The C N R Hall of Science and Education Technology Unit conducted various programmes for children in their endeavour in popularizing science among the young students. This has been an another year of significant scientific discoveries made by our faculty and students; to name a few, Prof C N R Rao and Prof Umesh Waghmare have shown that an inorganic compound containing boron, carbon and nitrogen could absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) — two greenhouse gases (GHGs) that contribute to global warming. This graphene-like layered compound may open up novel ways to reduce the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere; Ms Nisha Mammen and Prof Shobhana Narasimhan, together with Prof Stefano de Gironcoli, have suggested a novel and practicable way of changing the morphology of gold nanoparticles deposited on a metal oxide substrate, by doping the oxide with atoms of another metal. This can increase catalytic efficiency by changing the particle shape from three- to two- dimensional; Researchers (from Chemistry and Physics of Materials Unit, DST Unit on Nanoscience, and Birck Nanotechnology Center, Purdue University, USA) have carved charge-storing islands surrounded by nano-sized trenches on a graphite surface. The study offers a way of creating spatially confined graphene- like structures, which could form the foundation of functional devices; Prof. Srikanth Sastry, Mr Vishwas V Vasisht, Mr Shibu Saw, Theoretical Sciences Unit, have reported that liquid silicon can actually transform between two different ‘phases’ — one at low temperature and pressure and one at high temperature and pressure. The finding may suggest novel avenues for making silicon in the crystal phase as well as different forms of amorphous silicon. During the current year, 24 patent applications (Indian Provisional Applications–8, Indian Complete Applications–2,

As a consequence, in the past fifty years, there has been a paradigm shift in our interpreting the life process. In the process, modern biology had acquired a truly interdisciplinary character in which all streams of sciences have made monumental contributions. Because of such rapid emergence as a premier subject of teaching and research; a necessity to restructure classical teachings in biology was recognised by the academics worldwide. In tune with such trends, the academic leadership of Jawaharlal Nehru University conceptualised the School of Life Sciences as an interdisciplinary research/teaching programme unifying various facets of biology while reflecting essential commonality regarding structure, function and evolution of biomolecules. The School was established in 1973 and since offering integrated teaching and research at M. Sc/ Ph.D level in various sub-disciplines in life sciences. Since inception, it remained dedicated to its core objectives and evolved to be one of the top such institutions in India and perhaps in South East Asia.

  • Newsletter February 2019
    EDITORIAL As we sail into the 8th year of our young institute, this newsletter aims to provide a common platform to bring together all the events associated with TIFRH, scientific and otherwise. In this inaugural issue, we bring to you an array of articles along with some creative titbits. We start off the issue with the cover story tracing the marvellous journey of TIFR Hyderabad, right from its conception to the point we stand today, a full-fledged institute bustling with research activities. We feature an article by Prof. Hari Dass, which will make you ponder about the no- cloning theorem in quantum mechanics and its implications, and Shubhadeep Pal, who gives an insight into the importance of reducing carbon emissions. We also feature an exclusive interview with the NMR bigwig, Prof. Shimon Vega, who talks about his foray into NMR, the long-standing relationship with his student, Prof. P.K Madhu, and dealing with hiccups in science. TIFR has a long history of outreach programs and other activities encouraging science education at the roots. At TIFR Hyderabad, we intend to continue this paradigm and to this end, Debashree Sengupta talks more about the active initiatives being taken in this direction. Moreover, amidst a variety of interdisciplinary research at TIFRH, we have highlighted a few in the ‘InFocus’ section of this issue. Lastly, in the non-science end of this issue, we present to you some comic relief, a poem about life and friendship in a research institute, and a photo gallery sporting a few talented shutterbugs at TIFR Hyderabad.

Ghosh: [email protected] Dr. Amitabh Joshi: [email protected] Abstract Canalization denotes the robustness of a trait against genetic or environmental perturbation. Plasticity, in contrast indicates the environmental sensitivity of a trait. Stabilizing selection is thought to increase canalization of a trait, whereas directional selection is often thought to lead to decanalization. However, the relationship between selection, canalization and plasticity remains largely unclear. Experimental evolution is a powerful approach for addressing fundamental questions in evolution. Here, we ask whether long-term directional selection for reduced pre-adult development time in Drosophila melanogaster results in the evolution of increased canalization for development time, the trait under primary selection.
