Behind The Pages

Hello fellow readers, we are back with the latest issue of InScight-The IISER Kolkata Science Magazine. Before I go any further I would like to thank all the readers for their support that helps us continue our journey.

We are back again with a variety of interesting articles over different subjects. To kick it all off we have an article on regulatory T-Cells. The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Shimon Sakaguchi, Mary E. Brunkow, and Fred Ramsdell was awarded for the elucidation of the cellular and genetic basis of the same. The article ‘The peacekeepers within’, delves deeper into the story that redefined modern immunology as we know it.

To quote Albert Einstein "In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity", we have a fascinating article on Nikolai Sergeevich Koshliakov who developed a striking generalization of the Riemann zeta function, while in a soviet labour camp. His story serves as inspiration for all of us who believe nothing good can come out of even the most belligerent times. We have a very interesting article regarding the nature of primes, called ‘patterns in primes via probability’ written by Anup Dixit and Sidhi Pathak.We also have a creative comic by Kajori Barman, Afreen Chowdhury highlighting the incredible story and hardships faced by Dr. Subhash Mukhopadhyay, in bringing IVF to India.

To end it all, we have a few fun science inspired games and a quiz at the end of the magazine.

This issue of InScight comes packed with a lot of inspirational stories that we hope will help you keep moving forward, despite of how bad everything gets, despite of how dark the path may seem, for ‘it is the path through the darkness, that brings us closer to the light’
