I’m going to open a news channel called good news Karachi. Where only feel good things are reported. Just for change of scenery. “Breaking news two puppies born in gulshan e iqbal.”.. “Corner store sold more candy than ever.”

I’ve always believed the No.1 application of AI should be to improve human health.

That work started with AlphaFold, and now at @IsomorphicLabs with the mission to reimagine drug discovery and one day solve all disease!

We are turbocharging that goal with $2.1B in new funding.

Pakistan is known for peaks and politics. But there's another Pakistan.

A quieter one.
A wilder one.

Let me show you the side of my country most people never see.

South Asia needs more genomic data to understand its unique population and diseases. Sequencing your own population should be the norm now – it's key to better health care, understanding disease, and unlocking what makes each population unique. Amazing feat by @ccmb_csir 👏🏼

The Genome India Project offers us 10,000 genomes that represent the 4 broad linguistic groups, and regions across India incl tribal populations. They are available at the Indian Biological Data Centre at RCB, Faridabad for academics to analyze and unveil mysteries held in them.

Grief is not a purely negative emotion. Over time, it becomes bittersweet—sadness is joined by love and gratitude.

Nostalgia is a healthy response to loss. Longing for the past motivates us to appreciate the present and improve the future.

The goal of coping is not to erase pain. It's to gain purpose.

When I was young I fixed my parents’ computer and now that I’m older I fix computers for my kids. Are we the only generation that knows how computers work?
