Thank you @IGIBSocial for hosting and thank you @SalfordUni for supporting this initiative.

[CSIR-IGIB @IGIBSocial]

The University of Salford (UK), in collaboration with CSIR-Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (CSIR-IGIB) and the Organization for Rare Diseases India (ORDI), hosted a national workshop titled “Towards Equitable and Early Genetic Care for Glaucoma” at @IGIBSocial on Monday, 30th June, 2025. The event brought together leading clinicians, scientists, genetic counsellors, policy advocates, non-profit charities and media representatives to spotlight the urgent need for early genetic diagnosis in managing inherited forms of glaucoma in India.

@_KarishmaK This is very much needed. Unfortunately, it seems the regulation is going the other way at the moment.

This resonates so well with me......both as a mentor and a mentee.

@arpan_parichha Mental health remains one of the least concerns of academia especially in India. Small institutional support groups by younger faculty can provide the much needed support.

Can't agree more. Academic publishing is the only 'business' where the content creators pay, instead of getting paid. Content creators also act as reviewers, which is unpaid as well. Acceptable for society journals but not for others - including CNS!

[Kenneth W Witwer (he/him) @KennethWWitwer]

Nothing new here, but scientific publishing needs fixing. We pay "open access charges" or APCs of USD 3-5k (sometimes more) for a publisher to put a PDF on the internet and not charge people to read it. But we also pay up to thousands extra for "color printing". This does not mean physical printing (which might make sense). It's an extra charge to keep your figures in the pdf the way you submitted them. Publishers will actually do extra work to convert color figures to grayscale (thus disrupting the figure/text concordance and the sense of the paper) just to force you to pay these extra charges (or re-graph/re-write in grayscale yourself). This is done by "reputable" publishers but in my view should be classified as a #PredatoryPublishing practice.

@vinodscaria True. What I meant was there needs to be an integrated plan from the parliament (informed by science) before embarking on million genome sequencing. As you know very well, it is easy to get lost in the data unless the study design is robust

[Arijit Mukhopadhyay (he/him/his) @thisisarijit]

@vinodscaria @jshethad1 For people to get the benefit of the technology you need buying in from the same ignorant politicians. Otherwise, it will mostly benefit the NGS and IT companies.

[Arijit Mukhopadhyay (he/him/his) @thisisarijit]

@vinodscaria For India, a million genome is about the same proportion what UK has done. Using the UK example, if this is not integrated and spearheaded by the ministry of health, it will not be useful. Read Genome Generation from NHS published in 2016. At this moment, I vote NO.
