I loved speaking with Hon. Edith Jones about understanding inequality. As a Board Member of the Coolidge Foundation, she is very knowledgeable about many of the issues students face #coolidge#modesto#turlock - Ashish Thakur
Worried about what living in a new country might be like? Claire, who participated in the 2019 Korean summer program, shares her some highlights of her #studyabroad experience and offers advice! Read about Claire's #NSLIY journey at https://t.co/YGOTlYimLR
My trip to Chengdu, China this summer through NSLI-Y gave me the impetus to complete translation of my book into Chinese and Hmong; these communities suffer from the highest rates of diabetes in the Central Valley #NSLI#turlock#modesto
I am very interested in college programs which features an immersive program in China—such as my amazing one in Chengdu through the National Security Language Initiative for Youth (NSLI-Y)—which would help me to deeply understand Mandarin #modesto#turlock#NSLI - Ashish Thakur
I had a wonderful time presenting to the American Vein and Lymphatic Society my work on how “Fractal Analysis Reveals Diffusion Limited Formation of Human Lower Extremity Superficial Varicosities” #modesto#turlock#IB - Ashish Thakur
This summer, I spent 6 weeks in Chengdu, China through the @NSLIY program. Since then, I’ve given presentations to students at Modesto High School and their families to promote studying abroad - Ashish Thakur. #NSLIY#NSLIYAlumni

Ashish Thakur met amazing surgeons and educators at the American College of Surgeons. His presentation on fractal dimension analysis of venous bifurcations was well received.
Ashish Thakur @ashisht1122 had such a great visit to Harvard. He attended great lectures, met friends, went to a great presentation at the Broad Institute at MIT, learned about the inspiring life of Rosalind Franklin, and inquired about the cost implications of CRSPR therapies.
What inspires Ashish Thakur @ashisht1122 is helping others. His long term goal is alleviate the suffering of others. Whether it's doing research that is published, learning Mandarin, presenting at difficult conferences, it comes back to how it will help him care for others.
Ashish Thakur @ashisht1122 was so fortunate to work at ThermoFisher where he used CRISPR to "knock-in" the GFP gene. Here you can see the original BFP expressing cells (blue) and the transformed GFP cells (seen in Green).
Dr. Carlos JC Jimenez, a Vascular Surgeon at UCLA, asked Ashish Thakur @ashisht1122 why he was interested in work on fractal dimensions. He said he really enjoyed exploring how fractal dimensions reveal how varicosities form.
Ashish Thakur @ashisht1122 donated from his foundation to Golden Valley Health Center because they are the largest provider to our indigent population in the Central Valley.
