How long until racism is eradicated fully from the country?
Northeasterners are Indians. Every Indian is equal and has the right to live peacefully in India wherever he wants.
Hope the criminals are given the strictest punishment.
Fascinating paper just published in Science.
The authors analyze the career trajectories of top performers across multiple domains, including Nobel laureates, elite chess players, Olympic gold medalists, and more.
Their central finding challenges a common belief.
Intensive, single-discipline training at a young age does confer an early advantage, but this advantage fades over time.
By contrast, individuals exposed to multidisciplinary practice early in life tend to start more slowly. Yet, over the long run, they are more likely to reach world-class performance, eventually overtaking early specialists, who often plateau just below the very top.
An important reminder that breadth early on can be a powerful investment in long-term excellence.

This is Thomas Seyfried.
He’s a professor of biology, who’s studied cancer for 30+ years.
His message? Cancer isn’t bad genes or bad luck—it’s damaged mitochondria.
This flips everything you’ve been told about how to treat & prevent cancer: 🧵
Over-exercising induces irreversible liver fibrosis (who knew?) by inducing the secretion of damaging vesicles from muscles called “lactate bodies” @Cell_Metabolism
We are excited that the work of our colleague Dr. Sabyasachi Rakshit and his group on the biophysical model of hearing loss with aging appears in Nature Communications @NatureComms
Congratulations @Rakshits2016!
