@nandita_j @1amnerd IMO right now there is more research than there are journalists. So would think SJ a serious job for short term surely.

@1amnerd @nandita_j Not at all. I think that is the right business model. Perhaps, though, more science journalists will be a better idea?

@1amnerd @nandita_j The classic problem of where to start in India. There are just too many problems. Doesn't help discussion.

@1amnerd @nandita_j Yeah. So the push comes from those who want content rather than from journal publishers who are nonexistent. Good one!

@1amnerd @nandita_j Interesting. What views would they be? How do you speak about where Indian science is without quantifying in someway?

@1amnerd @nandita_j Ok. Well, I hope it happens. Mighty good thing to support. They'll need funding from you guys, so you hold the key!

@1amnerd @nandita_j Really? I know none of the metrics are perfect. But that doesn't mean that they don't give an idea of where we are at.

@1amnerd @nandita_j Who would they be? Does @Singh10Seema know them? Worth getting her involved. May be @Viratmarkandeya too.

@1amnerd @nandita_j Ah, good to hear that. @tom_wells101 is doing good things. Fingers crossed they lead somewhere.

@nandita_j @1amnerd Elephant in the room: what is the quality of Indian science? There is no doubt it is way below where it can be/should be

@nandita_j @1amnerd You had guys from UK SMC come to you?

@1amnerd @nandita_j Twitter ain't great for being able to solve confusion. But would help is you say what exactly is confusing.

@nandita_j @1amnerd Who is they?

@nandita_j @1amnerd Maybe. It's not like they don't know they can use blogs. But how many science bloggers does India have?

It's important that we understand the science behind tinkering with genes, before jumping on the "GM is bad" wagon. http://t.co/IDmmEQloNK

Not yet. Just you wait. RT @Jo_Adetunji: I can be a bit of a hoarder but not quite a disorder just yet! http://t.co/IMfLKKiBDF #dsm5

@statto Thanks @Sci_ents. When I say there's good content in the pipeline, I mean it. Now you now where some of it is coming from!

@jason_pontin Means yes and no. Means we are complicated. :P

@kausikdatta22 The story was great. You came up with it. That matters more. :)
