In the 1930s, Indian women were rarely seen in the world of science. Kamala Sohonie, however, refused to let societal norms define her path. Born with a curious mind and a passion for discovery, she faced countless hurdles—repeated rejections from institutions, skepticism from peers, and the weight of expectations that told women their place was elsewhere.
Undeterred, Kamala pursued her research with determination. She became the first Indian woman to earn a PhD in science, conducting pioneering studies on enzymes and nutrition that would shape the foundation of biochemistry in India. Her work not only advanced scientific knowledge but also shattered barriers, proving that talent and perseverance know no gender.
Kamala Sohonie’s journey is a testament to courage, resilience, and the power of relentless curiosity. She opened doors for generations of women scientists to follow, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire. Her story reminds us that progress often begins with those willing to challenge the impossible.

India has unveiled BIRSA 101, a CRISPR-based gene therapy designed to treat sickle cell disease, a condition that has silently burdened thousands of tribal families for generations. For the first time, we’re seeing a therapy built for India, in India, and deeply connected to the communities it aims to heal.
What makes BIRSA 101 remarkable is not just the science, but the intention behind it.This project is a joint venture between CSIR-IGIB and Serum Institute of India. Using CRISPR Cas9, the therapy targets the DNA change responsible for sickle cell disease and corrects it at the source. If it succeeds at scale, it could redefine how India handles inherited disorders.
For many tribal regions, sickle cell is more than a diagnosis. It affects education, livelihood, and life expectancy. So seeing a therapy that carries Birsa’s name feels symbolic — as if his fight for his people now continues at the molecular level.
India is not just catching up in gene therapy. India is competing.And BIRSA 101 may become one of the most important public-health innovations of this decade.
If you want to explore the full story, including the science, the vision, and why this therapy matters so much for tribal communities, we’ve covered everything on our blog. #PopularizingScience

Venky Ramakrishnan’s journey is one of the most inspiring stories in modern science. Born in Chidambaram and trained first as a physicist, he made a bold shift into biology — a decision that eventually led him to unravel one of life’s most elegant machines: the ribosome.
His groundbreaking work revealed how the ribosome reads our genetic code and builds proteins, a discovery that earned him the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2009. Along the way, he received global recognition including the Padma Shri, one of India’s highest civilian honors.
Beyond the awards, Venky played a major role in strengthening global science. As President of the Royal Society, he pushed for open access, better transparency, and stronger public engagement with research. His career is a reminder that great discoveries often come from taking risks, starting over, and trusting curiosity enough to change your direction.
His story continues to inspire young scientists across the world — especially those who dare to cross boundaries and redefine what’s possible. #PopularizingScience
