As much as I miss my friends from the US, I think I'm staying in Canada this year. The $65 abstract submission fee was annoying after seeing the anti-DEI statement. It's my 1st year w/ the moon. Hope I find better conferences. 🫤06 Jan 2026 13:47 +0000at://did:plc:62bf7o63z2pf6tyituvwogw7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mbr3pmj2qk2whttps://bsky.app/profile/debaratidas.bsky.social/post/3m3axta6hvk2nHad a lot of fun collaborating on this InSAR project this year.

Thanks for picking this photo. It was hella fun capturing this view. Glad to have a paper in this issue (although would've appreciated a lil name credit 4 the photo lol). 💙26 Aug 2025 17:23 +0000at://did:plc:62bf7o63z2pf6tyituvwogw7/app.bsky.feed.post/3lxczqsoyu22ohttps://bsky.app/profile/debaratidas.bsky.social/post/3lwyxr27lg22eExcited to be embarking on another space mission journey this fall. This time we're off to the moon & from Canada! 🌕🇨🇦 Its been heartbreaking to witness the state of science in the US. I'm sad to have to leave my community.

Recently found out that some people are supertasters because they have the TAS2R38 gene & only people with this gene can taste Phenylthiocarbamide (PTC). Some people learned this in school! (I missed out!) The PTC paper tasted VILE. I'm a supertaster😯.
