Related to Indian science news, a couple of Indian science journalists (Akshat Rathi and Vasudevan Mukunth) have started Curious Bends, a weekly curated list of stories about India-related science and technology. They’ve been doing a great job so far, and I highly recommend you sign up here if you’re at all interested.

I’ve enjoyed Akshat Rathi’s stories at places like Ars Technica, and I applaud their attempt to “set the information balance right”, in his own words.

As an aside, I sent in my fig wasp story since it involved Indian research, and they linked to it in their second newsletter, which was exciting. I didn’t really care whether they linked to my particularly story on the study, but I did feel it merited inclusion in Curious Bends—it turns out the study was already on their shortlist.
