BIOMANUFACTURING: India Must Adopt the 'Triple Helix Model'
THE DEFINING challenge of the day is to meet the fundamental human needs for food, medicine, and energy without compromising the environment, all the while fostering innovation and technology-led advancement.

One group was told there was a chance that they might receive an electric shock - some time over the next hour. The other group was told they would definitely get a shock. In exactly ten minutes time. Which group do you reckon felt more stressed, more anxious?
