Dinosaurs were «more like smart giant crocodiles» but not as intelligent as monkeys as an earlier study had found, according to new research. In a study published in January 2023, neuroscientist and author Suzana Herculano-Houzel of Vanderbilt University, US, had said that brains of theropod dinosaurs, a species of which is T. rex, had neurons comparable to those in the brains of monkeys and baboons. Dinosaurs like T. rex, or Tyrannosaurus rex, had an exceptionally high number of neurons, «which would make these animals not only giant but also long-lived and endowed with flexible cognition, and thus even more magnificent predators than previously thought,» the author wrote in the study published in the Journal of Comparative Neurology. In the latest research, an international team of palaeontologists, behavioural scientists and neurologists re-examined the brains of dinosaurs, including T. rex, and found them to behave more like reptiles.

Jaishankar on Monday said the partition of India in many ways broke the natural connectivity of the northeastern states and impacted the growth in the area due to political barriers as well as administrative issues.

As a result of that, the levels of growth that the Northeast should have seen was slowed down.

BJP on Monday claimed that it is the Congress and its allies which intends to change the Constitution to give reservation to Muslims on religious grounds, as the ruling party accused them of misleading Dalits and other disadvantaged Hindu groups against the Modi government. BJP MP Brij Lal said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reiterated time and again that no one can change the Constitution, as envisaged by Bhim Rao Ambedkar. The former IPS officer, who comes from the Scheduled Castes, told reporters that it is the Congress which has amended the Constitution the most number of times and even suspended its provisions to impose the Emergency in 1975. The Congress and its allies are spreading this narrative to mislead people, especially Dalits, that the BJP will end reservation, Brij Lal said, speaking on an issue over which the two main contenders for power have been targeting each other during the ongoing Lok Sabha polls.

In a recent interview at the American Center, US Ambassador to India, Eric Garcetti, highlighted the United States' commitment to expediting the visa process for Indian students.

The US Mission is working to ensure that more Indian students can pursue education in the US, anticipating an increase in visa applications this year.

The police crackdown on protests against the Gaza War in American universities, where students were staging sit-ins to demand a rollback of policies seen to be supportive of Israel’s offensive that has left over 35,000 Palestinians dead so far, leaves one aghast. Reminiscent of how the 1960s’ peace protests over the Vietnam War were thwacked back, cops used the sort of brutal force that makes the country’s claims of free-speech tolerance ring hollow across a globe that the US says is seeing a clash of democracy and autocracy, with America on the side of freedom.

These events, unfolding against the backdrop of heightened tensions in the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, underscore the challenges faced by universities nationwide as they grapple with the increasingly visible demonstrations and encampments on their campuses.

Arielle Johnson was working at the fermentation laboratory she founded at Noma, the restaurant in Copenhagen, Denmark, and had to explain the techniques she was using to the chefs. «They had a lot of knowledge that intersected with what I had, but what I learned as a scientist did not cross over,» said Johnson, who trained as a flavor scientist at the University of California, Davis. «I found myself explaining a lot of concepts to people over and over. It would lead to info-dumping on a cook for 10 minutes and saying, 'I wish there was a book I could give you.' So that's this book.» "Flavorama: A Guide to Unlocking the Art and Science of Flavor," her first cookbook, published in March, explains the basics of flavor, how it works and how it can be used. There are more than 75 recipes in the book, including one of Johnson's favorites, smoke oil, which she created using canola or grapeseed oil and Lapsang souchong tea to infuse smoky flavors without setting off the fire alarm in her apartment.
