SUMMARY:GLOBAL IMMUNOCOURSE 2024
DESCRIPTION:Call for Applications: We invite applications from Master’s students with a keen interest in immunology to participate in the Global Immunocourse to be hosted at Ashoka University from December 13 to December 23\, 2024. \nAbout the Global Immunocourse: The Global Immunocourse is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to the foundational knowledge of immunology. It offers a unique opportunity for aspiring immunologists to engage in discussions with leading experts in the field gaining insights into cutting-edge research and developments. \nEligibility Criteria: Students pursuing their Master’s degree with a strong academic background and a special interest in immunology are encouraged to apply. Applicants should possess a genuine passion for unravelling the complexities of the immune system and a commitment to academic excellence. \nApplication requirements: Interested candidates are required to submit the following documents:\n1. Curriculum Vitae (CV): Please provide a detailed CV highlighting your academic achievements\, research experience\, and any relevant extracurricular activities.\n2. Academic Transcript: Include a copy of your official academic transcript from your current Master’s course and Bachelor’s degree (final transcript).\n3. Letter of Interest: Compose a letter expressing your enthusiasm for immunology\, your motivations for attending the course\, and how you believe this experience will contribute to your academic and professional growth. The letter of interest should not exceed 1 page. \nHow to apply: Participants can apply here by 27th of October\, 2024 end of the day. For any further queries write us at globalimmunocourse2024@ashoka.edu.in\, please mention subject as “Participant queries for Global Immunocourse 2024.” \nSupport to attend the course: In alignment with the Global Immunocourse mission\, there are no fees associated with this course. Travel and accomodation will be covered for selected applicants. We encourage equality of opportunity and diversity. \nInstructors:  \n\nCarla Rothlin\, Dorys McConnell Duberg Professor of Immunobiology and Professor of Pharmacology at Yale University\nSourav Ghosh\, Professor of Pharmacology and Neurology at Yale University\nSatyajit Rath\, Professor Emeritus at IISER Pune\nHiyaa Ghosh\, Assistant Professor at NCBS\nSoumen Basak\, Professor at NII\nRama Akondy\, Associate Professor at Department of Biology\, Ashoka University\nElina Zuniga\, Professor at the Department of Molecular Biology\, UCSD\nRafi Ahmed\, Charles Howard Candler Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at Emory University\nMiriam Merad\, Chair of the Department of Immunology and Immunotherapy\, the Director of the Marc and Jennifer Lipschultz\nPrecision Immunology Institute at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York and the Director of the Mount\nSinai Human Immune Monitoring Center\nLaura Mackay\, FAHMS\, Professor\, Laboratory Head and Immunology Theme Leader at The Doherty Institute\, Department of Microbiology and Immunology\, The University of Melbourne\nResearch Interest: Tissue-resident memory T cell\, therapeutics to cancer\, lymphoid dynamics\, HIV persistence.\nImroze Khan\, Associate Professor at Department of Biology\, Ashoka University\nDipendra Nath Basu\, Simons-Ashoka Early Career Fellow at TSB\, Ashoka University\n\n  \nOrganizers: Carla Rothlin\, Yale University; Sourav Ghosh\, Yale University; Imroze Khan\, Ashoka University; Dipendra Nath Basu\, Ashoka University

SUMMARY:Special Talk on National Mathematics Day
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Ramanujan was an inventive genius\, but did he have a way of thinking which made him an inventive genius? Since paper was expensive\, Ramanujan worked on a slate. He recorded his results without recording how he obtained them. Thus\, there is a bit of a mystery to how he may have done mathematics. Here we examine how Ramanujan could have obtained a few of his results on continued fractions. We review some of his continued fractions\, and get lessons about how we can become more like Ramanujan in our thought process. \nAbout the Speaker: Gaurav Bhatnagar obtained his Ph.D. in Mathematics from The Ohio State University in 1995. After his Ph.D.\, he spent one year each at Ohio State and the Indian Statistical Institute\, Delhi. Subsequently\, he joined the educational technology industry\, where he has been able to make a significant contribution to the teaching and learning processes of Indian schools.  \nHe has co-edited (with Sugata Mitra and Shikha Mehta) An Introduction to Multimedia Systems (Academic Press\, 2002) and written Get Smart: Maths Concepts (Penguin\, 2008)\, a book on middle school mathematics. His latest book (written with Tejasi Bhatnagar) is: Maths Puzzles for Smart Kids (Hachette\, 2023).  \nHis research interests are in Combinatorics and Special Functions\, more specifically\, hypergeometric\, q-hypergeometric\, and elliptic hypergeometric series\, their multiple series extensions over root systems\, continued fractions\, orthogonal polynomials\, partitions and elementary number theory. He is also interested in providing a discovery approach to Ramanujan’s identities.
