It’s worthwhile remembering that the 2015 Paris talks are the 21st meeting of the parties to the 1994 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). This mega summit 23 years ago laid down the architecture of several environmental agreements and declarations hugely relevant even today.
There is no bigger biomedical research problem today than finding an AIDS vaccine.
Every day, 15,000 people get infected by HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. All of them will eventually die. After three decades of intense research, nearly 39 million deaths around the world, there is still no hope of a vaccine.
Chief mentor of the Mumbai Indians since January 2013, Anil Kumble has announced his decision to step down from the post with immediate effect. In his official statement, the legendary spin bowler has said he made the decision so he could pursue other opportunities in sports and cricket.

All eyes will be riveted on the Supreme Court which, on December 1, is likely to hear a CBI plea challenging a Ranchi High Court order giving partial relief to Lalu in a fodder scam case (No. 64(A)/96).
A video has surfaced which purportedly shows a family being asked to leave a theatre for not standing up during the national anthem. The Quint cannot independently verify what really happened but a crowd of people inside the theatre is seen shouting at some people. The audio of those at the receiving end of this violence is unclear.
It took off from the dense tree cover like the raptor it is, craned its neck taking all in with a piercing gaze while the invisible direction finder in its tiny head gave it the desired bearing. And then with a lazy flap or two of its sleek wings, off it vanished into the blue yonder.
The debate over the standard of the pitches in the ongoing India-South Africa series, where two Tests finished in less than three days (one was washed out in Bangalore), has reached a crescendo.
