@sauravv123 Dear Saurav, as a airway epithilial toxicology expert, all SMOKE is bad! Period. Peace out! Write an addendum to your post or delete it. Lets not spread misinformation.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Europe always chooses science and partnership.

Japan too.

Japan is now officially associated with Horizon Europe.

This means Japanese researchers and organisations can take part in the world's largest public research and innovation programme.

Let's break new frontiers together.

In my city, kids prepping for army exams are protesting because the lake isn't being cleaned, and they can't run in the bad stench. In MP, people are protesting for the right compensation. In Delhi, kids are protesting against that man's ego. Everyone around is protesting for some or the other thing. Why everyone is protesting for small things, why everyone is feeling unheard? Why no one is taking accountability.

It includes:

64,537 videos
17,905 photos
Ability to download individual videos
Searchable index
Exhaustive sources list (300+ journalists)
Geolocation data
Livemap with minute to minute updates
Victim list

It can be accessed here: https://t.co/s0Se94PXWF

Please share & quote tweet to help this post break out of the twitter algorithm prison.

We will keep adding the rest of the archives to the site, be patient- it is difficult work. Continue to seed the torrents provided, as that is the best way to ensure the footage remains stored in decentalized way.

God bless all those who sacrificed their lives to get this footage out, and everyone invovled in collecting/archiving it.

Halfway through the year, we have 24 new medicines:

[NEJM @NEJM]

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects nearly one in three adults worldwide, yet many cases remain undiagnosed until advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis develops. So, which patients should clinicians actually be screening?

In the latest episode of the Beyond Journal Club podcast from @COREIMpodcast and NEJM Group, the hosts unpack the evolving language of steatotic liver disease and discuss two major trials: MAESTRO-NASH studying resmetirom, the first FDA-approved liver-directed therapy for MASH, and ESSENCE, evaluating semaglutide in biopsy-confirmed disease.

Listen to the full episode to understand where the field is headed, which patients deserve closer attention, and how metabolic liver disease is increasingly becoming part of everyday primary care and hospital medicine: https://t.co/xJSWsDdsm6

Archives | Modi's entourage during the 2017 Israel visit included the billionaire Gautam Adani, who would, in January 2023, acquire a controlling share in the Haifa port in partnership with Israel’s Gadot Group—after more than three decades of protests by Israeli trade unions against the port’s privatisation.

At the time of the Israel visit, one of his companies, Adani Aero Defence Systems and Technologies, had already signed a statement of intent with Elbit Systems to work together to produce military drones. The joint venture, Adani Elbit Advanced Systems India, was finalised in 2018. It would manufacture Hermes 900 drones, developed by Elbit in 2009 and first used in combat during Operation Protective Edge, in which almost two-fifths of the Palestinian deaths were attributed to drone strikes.

AI data centres are hungry for land, water & power.

I’m calling on every major AI company to publicly disclose the full environmental impact of its systems – as a matter of transparency

No more hidden costs.

No more shifting the burden onto those least able to bear it.

It is time to come clean.

An Indian Express investigation of land records by @mazoomdaar has found, Since he took oath as CM of Madhya Pradesh on December 13, 2023, Mohan Yadav’s family and their real estate companies have bought at least 137 plots, adding up to 168 acres, for Rs 45 crore, in zones most benefited by this infrastructure push. https://t.co/2hc7buekUQ

I find a very disturbing trend among doctors in Lucknow (don’t know about other cities) that has been normalised for years.
When you go for consultations, there are many patients already sitting in the room, waiting for their turn. When they talk to one patient about their case, everyone is listening in, and their most private details are public for everyone to hear.
This is a violation of basic courtesy. Doctors, please urgently reconsider this. Please do not do this. I am sitting right now in a doctor’s clinic for my daughter and cringing while I have to hear the personal details of every patient while we wait.

[Dr Ahmad Rehan Khan @AhmadRehanKhan]

What happened to this child is heartbreaking, and if medical negligence occurred, it must be thoroughly investigated. My thoughts and prayers are with the patient and her family.

However, using this tragedy to spread misinformation about a surgeon's training and to attack all international medical graduates (IMGs) is both dishonest and irresponsible.

The surgeon in question, Dr. Ashok Muralidaran, did not simply graduate from medical school in India and immediately begin operating on children in the United States. He completed:

• Surgical residency at Maimonides Medical Center in New York
• Thoracic Surgery fellowship at Yale University/Yale New Haven Hospital
• Pediatric & Congenital Cardiac Surgery fellowship at Stanford University
• American Board of Thoracic Surgery certification
• Additional subspecialty board certification in Congenital Cardiac Surgery

That's well over a decade of rigorous postgraduate training in some of the most respected institutions in the United States. Every step involved examinations, evaluations, credentialing, and oversight by American training and licensing bodies.

Equally misleading is the statement that a person needs only 40% to pass exam in India, which is an F in the U.S." Academic grading systems vary across countries and cannot be compared in such a simplistic manner. Moreover, physicians who train and practice in the United States must pass standardized licensing examinations, complete accredited residency and fellowship programs, and meet the same professional standards as every other physician.

If mistakes were made in this case, they should be investigated based on facts, evidence, and expert review, not race, nationality, or where someone attended medical school decades ago.

One tragic outcome does not invalidate an entire career, nor does it justify smearing the hundreds of thousands of international medical graduates who care for millions of Americans every day. Many of these physicians serve rural and underserved communities where healthcare access would otherwise be severely limited.

Don't use a family's tragedy to push an anti-immigrant agenda. Demand accountability where warranted, but do so with facts, not prejudice and misinformation.

An enumerator from Rajasthan told The Hindu on condition of anonymity, “In the mobile app, if we enter that a household has a tin roof, we are asked by our superiors to change it to concrete. Are we supposed to lie? Similarly, if the house does not have a toilet and occupants are defecating in the open, we are told to check if there is a toilet nearby, even that of a neighbour or a relative, which they may be using occasionally or even a public urinal. Then the entry can be changed from ‘open defecation’ to having access to a toilet.”

Cockroaches, Rancho will join the peaceful protest on June 6.

Will you be there?

[Sonam Wangchuk @Wangchuk66]

IF NOT US, WHO?
IF NOT NOW, WHEN !
I will be joining the CJP members in Delhi on 6th June if nothing changes by 5th June. Any self respecting Minister should resign if things go so wrong... Not to mention the effect on millions of young lives and in fact the future of India.
