- Mile high blogging This is a first - for me at least - I'm posting this from 35,000 feet above Afghanistan. I'm currently on a Lufthansa flight and thanks to the new Boeing Skynet service, am savouring the joys of full broadband access (even the Demos VPN works!). Advert over.

- Elephants have the right of way It was this question which was taken up again later in the week by Ashok Parthasarathi, a veteran of the S&T policy 'game'. His answer wasn't about ensuring a global reputation for Indian science (at least not as an end in itself). His vision is for the future for every Indian. He thinks that basic research can thrive alongside a healthy dose of purpose-oriented research, and basic needs should be a top priority. Both stories emphasize that despite India's 7-8% growth in GDP, many people still... from : mollywebb 15th November 2005
- The risks of success A long procession of packed buses rumbles up the road to the Opening Session of the 93rd Indian Science Congress in Hyderabad. Security is tight. Just a few days earlier, terrorists stormed a conference at the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, gunning down academics and showering the room with hand grenades, which thankfully didn?t go off. One Professor was killed and four are still in hospital.In his inaugural address, Prime Minister Manhoman Singh says the fact that science is a... from : kirstenbound 11th January 2006
- Courting 'Asia's Other Powerhouse' And where is the UK in this whirlwind of political and economic tourism? Well, we make our fair share of scoping trips. A Demos team has just returned from seven weeks in India studying dynamics of science and innovation for The Atlas of Ideas. The Telegraph reports today that the City of London is opening its first office in India, and the London Stock Exchange is looking to set up a link with the Indian stock market in Mumbai.

- The critical skills gap Infosys, the leading Indian information technology services company, is so desperate for staff that it has started recruiting in the US, where it has just hired 300 people. In China, international accountancy firms are scrambling to fill thousands of posts in a country where qualified bean counters are almost as rare as democratic elections. from : mollywebb 26th June 2006
