There were at least 7 bombings in Bangalore this afternoon. A number of people were killed, and everyone is pretty freaked out. I, and all of my friends, are safe and well.
I am doing my masters thesis research on industrial ecology in India for the summer with a sweet set of grants from the Center for Industrial Ecology and the Tropical Resources Institute at Yale. The Resource Optimization Initiative in Bangalore is lending me their good name and my research partner, Megha Shenoy. I intermittently have other pursuits like running against traffic and dancing in the rain.
