[Cockroach Janta Party @CJP_for_India]

Cockroach Janta Party withdraws its nationwide agitation with immediate effect

All demands of the Cockroach Janta Party have been accepted by the government:

1. Maximum possible compensation for families of NEET paper leak-related suicides

2. All FIRs by Central govt and NDA-ruled states will be withdrawn, and no action will be taken against anyone involved in these protests in the future.

3. CJP’s 5-point exam reform charter will be considered by the govt and the CJP will meet with the govt to discuss these reforms further.

Thank you.

India’s research scholars deserve fair fellowships, better research infrastructure, and dignified support for innovation. While the 8th Pay Commission is discussed, researchers still await urgent reforms.

You rush to show concern for Donald Trump , the same person who called India a “hellhole” but stay silent when your own people are suffering.

Manipur is still burning. Adivasi communities in Odisha are still waiting for justice.
And you still have no response.

If this is your priority, then it says everything about your leadership.

Have a break but don’t have a KitKat because

I compared a KitKat sold in Australia with one sold in India, and the numbers are sadly not surprising.

The Australian version contains:

-Milk solids – 20%
-Cocoa – 22%
-Added sugar – 21.7g

The Indian version contains:
-Milk solids – 16.1%
-Cocoa – 4.5%
-Added sugar – 28.9g

Indians are getting a significantly inferior version compared to Kit-Kat abroad. This is not just limited to the Kit-Kat but most packaged food items like Cerelac, Lays etc.

This is because of 3 reasons.

1.India is a price-sensitive country, and as a result companies put low quality ingredients. But costing alone doesn’t explain the full picture.

2.Our regulations are weak and they don’t prevent companies from giving us inferior products.

3.We as consumers do not question what we’re being served. That is exactly why I started Label Padhega India. Because unless we read and ask, nothing changes.

Companies rarely change because they feel guilty. Companies change if consumers unite and ask for it.

So it’s our responsibility, together, to speak up and make sure our voices are heard.

Let’s Make India Healthy Again.

[IIT Bombay @iitbombay]

A research team at IIT Bombay, led by Prof. Sanjeeva Srivastava from the Department of Biosciences and Bioengineering, in collaboration with researchers from different research institutes in India and abroad, has developed BrainProt v3.0, a database that combines various types of biological data—from genes to proteins—into a single platform to enable systematic insights into human brain function in both healthy and diseased states. This brain-disease data will help researchers find markers, explore treatments and pinpoint druggable targets.

Every researcher's nightmare: "Your sample size is too small to detect that effect."

This open-access paper in Frontiers in Medicine solves that problem BEFORE you collect data.

"How to calculate sample size in animal and human studies" by Zhang & Hartmann breaks down:

✓ What is statistical power? (and why 0.8 isn't magic) ✓ How to choose effect size
✓ What to do when you have pilot data
✓ What to do when you have NO pilot data
✓ How to account for dropouts
✓ Actual G*Power screenshots with parameters filled in

The paper includes worked examples for:

- Comparing two proportions
- Comparing two means
- Studies with unequal group sizes
- Studies expecting attrition

The hard truth: Most underpowered studies aren't because researchers are careless. They're because sample size calculation is genuinely confusing and rarely taught well.

This paper treats you like an intelligent person who just needs clear explanation and practical examples.

Read it before you write your next ethics application or grant proposal.

Your future self (and your reviewers) will thank you.

I just released an essay series on a topic I've been thinking about, on and off, for a few years:

What does AI progress mean for medical progress?

Many people working on AI dream it will help cure cancer and prevent disease. I wanted to create a more specific roadmap:

#NonNetFellowshipHike
Non-NET fellows have repeatedly requested support, but @ugc_india higher authorities @TweetJoshmanish @mamidala90 have not prioritized their needs. Since 2006, Non-NET fellows have received only 8k per month, which is significantly lower than a laborer's wage, hindering their ability to engage in innovative research instead of focusing on daily survival @PMOIndia

It is always said that cancer is treatable, all that is required is it's correct diagnosis at the right time. Can you guess what is the importance of the phrase "right time".

Cancer: one of the most terrifying diseases one could imagine suffering from. But have you wondered how doctors diagnose this omnipotent disease? Well, for starters, they sometimes struggle to reach a consensus too!
