Mumbaiwale: A bestseller in Bandra Hill Road gem: An underground library with 10,500 books, run by a chemist who ought to be in a book too MUMBAI   Updated: Apr 14, 2018 00:51 IST Rachel Lopez   Hindustan Times Gharda libarary at Bandra in Mumbai.(Satish Bate/HT Photo) I almost missed it.

For those who’ve used it, four-year-old Merlin Bird ID has revolutionised birdwatching. But the app, developed by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Caltech, using crowdsourced photographs, is perhaps better known for how academia, machine learning and crowdsourced data can collaborate towards conservation. In North America, where it was launched, it’s allowed ordinary folks to identify bird...
