A great learning experience moderating a session on rare and undiagnosed cardiovascular diseases at @American_Heart! From N=1 to N=many, we explored how genomics, AI, and polygenic risk scores (PRS) can advance research and clinical care. Thanks to our amazing speakers! #AHA

@AdityaRajKaul @airindia I am not going to book again, I booked New York- Nagpur via Mumbai and return flight via Delhi, they just have changed flight schedule 7-8 times. Cancelled flight via Delhi and booked me via mumbai and now with over all 30 hours with a baby. I will never book again

Turning heart sounds into insights! 🫀 Our labs are advancing AI-powered stethoscopes for earlier detection of bicuspid aortic valve disease.@jennkwanMDPhD @Eko_Health

[Jennifer Kwan MD PhD @jennkwanMDPhD]

Can an AI-powered smart stethoscope detect a bicuspid aortic valve? Our study w/@Eko_Health uses 🫀sounds + ECG: AUC 0.756 in 124 patients. BAV affects up to 2%, raising risk of aortic aneurysm, dissection & early aortic stenosis. Promising prelim findings w/@KnowingAlok @AATSHQ

@IndiGo6E Thank you Indigo for helping me resolve this promptly. Much appreciated. Regards, Alok

[Alokkumar Jha @KnowingAlok]

Shameful, @IndiGo6E! Traveling with an infant shouldn’t mean being forced to pay for a seat just to complete web check-in. Customer support says: pay or risk being denied boarding due to overbooking. Is this how families are treated? @DGCAIndia @JM_Scindia Please intervene.

[Alokkumar Jha @KnowingAlok]

Great opportunity and amazing group and mentor !!!!

[Rohan Khera @rohan_khera]

We’re hiring a postdoctoral fellow at the @cards_lab!

We work at the intersection of cardiovascular medicine, data science, & AI, developing new approaches to detect disease, understand risk, & improve care.

Beautiful paper on how to tease apart cis vs. trans contributions to differences in gene expression. Work of Ingileif Hallgrímsdóttir and Maria Carilli just out in Genetics https://t.co/onL106p57D

@EricTopol Indeed, the brain and heart are deeply connected. We’re working on models to understand how changes in one organ can help us understand—and potentially predict and what is happening in the other. 🧠❤️ https://t.co/9T3YyPFAw6

[Cornell University @Cornell]

From March 13–20, Cornellians are driving a campuswide effort to add 10,000 new potential stem cell donors to the NMDP registry. With a simple, free cheek swab, you can help advance lifesaving research and increase the chances of finding matches for patients awaiting transplants. It’s a simple way our community can make an immediate difference.

Learn how to participate: https://t.co/gPZJIGnVJA.

Congratulations @Ron_Witteles on another great match, including two of our best MDPhD students from @WeillCornell

[Alokkumar Jha @KnowingAlok]

From heart failure to neurodegeneration, CHIP may be a central aging mechanism connecting multiple diseases. Thrilled to collaborate with @jennkwanMDPhD to uncover cross-disease biology and new therapeutics.

[Jennifer Kwan MD PhD @jennkwanMDPhD]

Thx @EricTopol for highlighting our hybrid cardio-onc/CHIP clinic @Yale. Clonal hematopoiesis is reshaping how we think about CV🫀risk, including in cancer patients (CH=2-3x more prevalent); excited to build clinical models that bring these discoveries to patients w/@KnowingAlok!

[Anuja Jaisswal @AnujaJaiswalTOI]

Even as it admitted its first batch of MBBS students for the 2025–26 academic year, a medical college at #ESIC Model Hospital and PGIMSR, Basaidarapur, is operating without any professors in its 3 core pre-clinical departments—Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry.
The medical college, ESIC Medical College and Hospital, opened in 2025 at the existing ESIC Model Hospital and Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences and Research as part of a national push by the Employees’ State Insurance Corporation to expand medical education and healthcare delivery across the country. @timesofindia

[Metabolon, Inc. @Metabolon]

On #InternationalWomenAndGirlsInScienceDay, we celebrate the incredible women scientists at Metabolon.

Special congratulations to Dr. Annie Evans and Dr. Natasa Giallourou, featured by @Metabolomics for their outstanding contributions to the field.

Proud to work alongside you.

[Asha Jadeja Motwani @ashajadeja]

A big thank you to the city of Ahmedabad for allowing the Motwani Jadeja foundation to install our first MJ Art Prize sculpture by Sonal Ambani. The sculpture is interactive and installed right at the entrance of the Atal Bridge on Sabarmati Riverfront.

Sonal is the first recipient of our art prize and will lead our effort in finding a second woman Artist recipient for 2026.

The funny man in the picture is Hugo Weihe, ex head of Christie’s auction house for South Asian Art. He also led Saffron for a few years in Mumbai.. Hugo now helps the Motwani foundation and is the chief curator of the Motwani Jadeja Women’s Art Prize.
