CARISTRAA is doing an outstanding job for the research community.
Dr. Nirmal Madhavan was extremely insightful, he broke down the process of conducting significant research in evolutionary biology and neuroscience into very straightforward steps, all the way from recognizing knowledge gaps to formulating a solid research proposal. His discussion on how to conduct purposeful research and how to address real gaps in research was especially eye-opening. I now feel much more confident in taking my first steps, thanks to his clear explanations and encouragement. I'm truly grateful for his time and expertise

I am S. Sai Kumar, and I recently completed my Ph.D. from IIT Guwahati. My conversation with Madhavan Sir was quite insightful. The discussion began with various approaches to applying for postdoctoral positions, followed by the importance of a well-crafted cover letter. He also provided valuable suggestions on refining research ideas (integrating past Ph.D. experience with the present state of art), both during the search process and after securing a postdoctoral position.
