We are grateful for the wide acceptance of the club and the enormous support from the IISER community. The constructive comments and suggestions from students and faculties were insightful in helping us evolve. The contributions and involvement of the IISER community in our various avenues are worth appreciating. We are indebted to the IISER Thiruvananthapuram Alumni in extending the Proteus family to an expansive community of thriving biologists. It is an absolute privilege to imbibe the knowledge and scientific acumen from eminent biologists worldwide. We express the deepest gratitude to all the reputed personalities for illuminating us through our faculty and student talk series. An important reason for the hugely successful functioning of the club, even in the nascent stages has been our team of dedicated members. It gives us immense pleasure that more enthusiastic people are coming up to be a part of our team. With your ongoing support and involvement, we can evolve into a worldwide community of enthusiastic biologists.
