ALT For over a decade, Gubbi Labs and Research Matters have been the one-stop shop for all your science communication needs. From crafting effective outreach campaigns to creating engaging content, we can help bring the science to life in your content. Get in touch with us today for all your communication needs at [email protected]. In this week’s stories: Data and simulations-based smart irrigation to reduce water usage, the need for a decentralised action plan on snakebites, using machine learning to detect corrosion, diatoms as role models to teach about river conservation, and a statistical and machine learning based rain prediction tool. In the regional section, we have stories in Hindi, Marathi and Kannada. We are also happy to bring back our Kannada podcast in collaboration with Janasuddi. There is also STEM news from other Indian media outlets and public STEM events to attend. Don’t forget to check out Scidle - the science wordle, for a new science word every day.
