Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Bhopal
"Understanding SCIENCE" - Summer camp for high school students
Science has become an important and permanent part of our daily lives. It not only gives us the platform to ask the "what, how and why" of nature but also has become an indispensible tool to ensure development of society and even sustenance of life. It is therefore of utmost importance to educate the people about all the recent developments in science and technology. IISER Bhopal, a premier educational Institute in the country, actively engaged in quality research and teaching believes in creating such an awareness. Aimed at students who have just cleared their class IX and XI examinations, IISER Bhopal invites applications from students interested in attending a short summer camp (16th – 21st May, 2011) at its premises. The summer camp will consist of interactive lectures, along with an exposure to laboratory work guided by IISER faculty members.
Our efforts are to make science as interesting and exciting as possible for the participants, so that they not only understand the basic principles of science, but also learn how to apply them in their daily lives. The objective of this program is to inculcate in students an aptitude to appreciate the role and contribution of science in the betterment of mankind. The program has been designed to create harmony between learning and applying scientific knowledge towards the development of the society.
Expenses,which include lodging and food, will be covered by IISER Bhopal for all the participants. A doctor will be made available on campus (24 hours)
to ensure personal health and wellbeing of all the candidates.
Important dates:
1. February 28, 2011: Last date for submission of forms ( Download Application Form on website )
2. March 15, 2011: List of shortlisted candidates (will be uploaded on the website).
3. March 30, 2011: Last date for the payment of Registration Fee (for selected candidates). To facilitate homogeneous interaction between the students and faculty members, the seats are limited to 40. After
initial screening the selected candidates would have to pay a registration fee of Rs. 500/- only in the form of a demand draft in favour of "The Director, IISER Bhopal".
4. May 16, 2011: Reporting time at IISER Bhopal (Any candidate who comes to Bhopal on 15th night will be given accommodation).
5. May 16, 2011: Registration time (11:00 am – 6:00 pm) IISER Bhopal hope to provide all the participants with the best possible scientific experience.

Will you be affected by this disease....Can you prevent it .... Chances of getting it early:Know about Diabetes Mellitus

This post was actually sheduled on "World Diabetes Day" on Nov 14th but couldnot post due to techical snag(ahem!!). ON to the better part this article is about knowing Diabetes disease and most possible preventive methods. Also knowing who all are susceptible to this Hereditary disease.So lets go for it!!!
Cause for Diabetes:
Let us understand about the cause for Diabetes Mellitus-
The food we intake is generally broken down from complex substances to simple matter. The simple matter constitute of glucose, fatty acids etc.This glucose is the main cause for Diabetes in any human. The glucose which is produced after digestion enter the blood stream to act as a fuel for the body and its cells.
Pancreas is an organ in the body which helps in production of insulin.The role of insulin is to remove glucose from the bloodstream and provide it to muscle, fat, and liver cells, where it can be used as fuel.
The cause for high blood sugar in diabetic patient is due to
Inability of pancreas to make enough insulin or the cells like muscle, fat, and liver cells do not respond to insulin normally.
Majorly there are three types diabetes
• Type 1 diabetes
• Type 2 diabetes
• Gestational diabetes
The most common all is type 2 diabetes which is most common in adults above 45 years but young people are increasingly being diagnosed with this disease. The pancreas does not make enough insulin to keep blood glucose levels normal, often because the body does not respond well to insulin. Many people with type 2 diabetes do not know they have it, although it is a serious condition.
Type 2 diabetes is becoming more common due to increasing obesity and failure to exercise.
There are many risk factors for type 2 diabetes, including:
• Age over 45 years
• A parent, brother, or sister with diabetes
• Gestational diabetes or delivering a baby weighing more than 9 pounds
• Heart disease
• High blood cholesterol level
• Obesity
• Not getting enough exercise
• Polycystic ovary disease (in women)
• Previous impaired glucose tolerance
• Some ethnic groups (particularly African Americans, Native Americans, Asians, Pacific Islanders, and Hispanic Americans)
Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in childhood. Many patients are diagnosed when they are older than age 20. In this disease, the body makes little or no insulin. Daily injections of insulin are needed. The exact cause is unknown. Genetics, viruses, and autoimmune problems may play a role.
Gestational diabetes is high blood glucose that develops at any time during pregnancy in a woman who does not have diabetes. Women who have gestational diabetes are at high risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease later in life.
Risk factors for gestational diabetes include:
• African or Hispanic ancestry
• Being older than 25 when pregnant
• Family history of diabetes
• Giving birth to a previous baby that weighed more than 9 pounds
• Obesity
• Recurrent infections
• Unexplained miscarriage or death of a newborn
Symptoms are....
• Blurry vision
• Excessive thirst
• Fatigue
• Frequent urination
• Hunger
• Weight loss
Enhancers of Diabetes:
• Stressful condition or strainful conditions shoots up the blood glucose levels
• Excessive insulin injections or intake may lead to hypoglycemia or reduced glucose levels which will lead to fatigue
Ways to fight Diabeties/preventive method
Though in many cases it is not preventive but few precautionary steps can lead to a healthy life:
• Regular exercise (an essential step for a healthy life)
• Controlled diet
• Eating at regular times or same time everyday
• Eating starchy/fibrous food

2. Indian Institute of sciences
3. Narional center for biological sciences
4.IIT’s
5. Central Food Technological Research Institute
6.CSIR institutes(like NIO,CDRI)
7. Rajiv Gandhi Center for Biotechnology
8. Saha institute
9. Bose institute
10. Raman Research Institute
11. Any State Universities
