@ResearchAKU@AKUGlobal@TazeenSaeedAli@FyezahJehan@virani_md@AKUPaediatrics@akuiedpk Wonderful event! It was great to learn about the ongoing research endeavors at AKUH.
However, I would like to know more about the Research traineeship offered for fresh graduates. For instance, what are the pre requisites, how to go about the application etc.
It's a privilege to be able to just exit an app and take a break from the horror. It's a privilege to be able to mute words and return to feeds full of mindless tweets and reels.But this is reality for over 2million ppl and the silence of the int. community will not be forgotten.
Upwork proposals are basically cover letters.
Your ultimate pitch to a life-changing opportunity.
Here is what to do to get conversions, and more of what not to do.
the silence from gaza is terrifying. if this was a white country, satellite internet companies would be lining up to offer services to those who have been cut off.
After 9/11, we were asked routinely to condemn terrorists everytime we spoke against American war. It's the same now. Condemning Hamas won't change Israel's response. The demand to do so is only meant to shift the focus away from structural causes and now Palestinian suffering.
The problem with liberal takes like this is that it produces an abstracted morality. It reduces two very different and unequal people to generic abstract categories in ‘conflict.’ It erases the material inequalities between them. It erases the violence of occupation.
@akkhan81 It also erases the motivations of both sides. One is control. The other is a final desperate clawing out of a hellhole & NO it cannot be polite or civil because none of this ever was. War/conflict are always ugly & you can't make their resistance conditional on moral standards.
🧵 Today is my little brother's 34th birthday. He was "kind of diagnosed" with low-functioning regressive autism at age 4, back when nobody knew what autism was. My parents pooled in all their savings and took him around the world, from Johns Hopkins to everywhere else
@_galactictony Sadly, so many are not even discussing and arguing. We’ve become so immune and/or hopeless that Fatima is just another statistic, just another tragedy.
It is vital to keep talking about it, complaining about it, pummeling the ruling elite about it until they give a shit.
Did you love the Made in Heaven S2 episode with the Dalit wedding?
Then show some love and credit to @YashicaDutt, the Dalit academic, & activist whose words, ideas, principles and experiences form the basis of the episode.
The show runners didn’t credit her, but you can.
This is your brain on sleep deprivation.
Scientists in Canada launched the largest study on how lack of sleep affects the brain.
They created games that tested skills like reasoning, language comprehension & decision making.
They had one participant repeat these tests in an MRI machine.
Here's what they found:
On the left is a normal night of sleep.
On the right is when it's deprived of 4 hours of sleep.
The colored areas are the activity happening in your brain. Notice the lack of activity on the right side.
Researchers found there was less activity in the frontal & parietal lobes, which are crucial for decision making, problem solving & mood control.
You are simply not at your best when you don't get enough sleep.
Another study done at the University of Oslo found that lack of sleep leads to reduced clearance of substances from the brain.
These substances are many of the same waste products that are seen to accumulate in the brains of Alzheimer's patients.
Some recent studies suggest that poor sleep contributes to higher levels of beta-amyloid protein in the brain, which lead to the amyloid plaques found in the Alzheimer's brain.
If you want a healthy brain avoid long term sleep deprivation.
What should you do?
• When deprived of sleep avoid making big decisions & pause before reacting to an emotion.
• Fix your sleeping habits. If you can't get enough hours, focus on increasing your sleep quality to make up for it.
Sleep is the best legal performance enhancing drug on the planet.
Make it a priority now so you can protect your brain for later.

Nevertheless, it was Noor Jehan who took the melody to the highest echelons of fame when it Nazir Ali's composition starring Firdous was featured in film "Dilan De Saude (1971)". Later, hundreds and hundreds of singers across the globe covered this dhamal and earned fame.
