MGM Center of Human Movement Science (Navi Mumbai) is celebrating 10 years! Honored to share a few words on behalf of ISB.

I couldn’t attend in person, but recording a video brought back memories & reflections on the science we do in EDCs — and why we do it.

Congrats to the MGM team! 🎉

You know why life seems to pass so fast?
It’s because we expect AI to give us more time… only to use it to work even more.
And while we’re still in 2025, things we expected for 2029, 2030, even 2023 are already being planned — because nobody slows down, and nobody wants to fall behind.

Reflections…

Cold morning today, but the lab was warmed by the presence of local high school students coming to visit our campus to learn about higher education.

Genuine question:

How long does it take to register a patent when the process is handled together with your university’s technology office? We’ve been battling bureaucracy for almost 10 months now — and it seems far from an end.

No matter the problem, cycling can be the solution. Or replace cycling with any sport you enjoy. Having genuine fun with friends is healing and energizing. Like is like riding a bike, right?
