'Allopathy' - a misnomer. Charade of 'integrative medicine' might produce confused docs in future. Shocked & still reeling from this episode. Need a sequel exploring limitations of medical science that make people experiment with 'alternatives'
Great to see that the foundational skills curriculum supplement is free to access. Thamks for highlighting this article

Excellent piece from @scottlangford72. "Foundational skills are the easy (and important!) win; knowledge-building is harder Other states need to take note of Tennessee’s success." curriculummatters.org/2022/12/31/why

Sharing this for 2 bits of visibility from my end. Why media silence is a wasted question. Action has to be taken by converned bodies.

800,000 (8 lakh) trees will be cut in Great Nicobar Island which is home to two national parks and a biosphere reserve for a transshipment port, airport and a township. Why national and international media are silent on this?
I do not like treadmill running. I took this episode for company today. I ran 15kms without looking at my watch once. Just had to restart the treadmill after every 45th min. Thanks for introducimg me to Womaning.

A prominent headline in top financial newspapers of India on the eve of the 75th year of Independence: Rakesh Jhunjhunwala - "Warren Buffet of India" - dies. I find the choice of Buffet as benchmark troublesome #ET #Mint #HT #TOI

Can't agree more. I wd wager that even well established orgs work hard on telling a coherent story over a period of time. In addition to the other ingredients of course.

I asked the promoter of a startup “What’s the most important ingredient for success in a startup - product, technology, funding, team ?” He answered “Storytelling!”
So so so very promising and so very encouraging to see action to support Prem

I had tweeted about Prem, the young man from Imphal who used scrap material to build an ‘Iron Man’ suit. I was keen to support his obvious talent & I’m grateful to our Auto sector partners, Shivz Autotech in Imphal for visiting Prem & his family to understand his desires. (1/3)

In an interview with Lovlina, the interviewer asks.."how did you feel when you were on podium". Lovlina replies: "Medal ceremony yet to happen". Beyond disappointed with such poor quality research n interviewing #NDTV

So glad for the work done to generate evidence for this . It facilitates my own confirmation bias as an implementer of ECD in certain parts of India.

India's ICDS is the world's largest early-childhood development program. In a new @nberpubs WP bit.ly/2QYgTjl, @aganimian @c_r_walt & I show with a large-scale RCT that adding a worker to ICDS centers improved education, and nutrition, and was highly cost effective 🧵1/

We saw quality pre-K intervention improving student participation n engagement in grades 2-5 in India. Not yet traced these children through to college. This provides me the confirmation bias.

Shame on Mr Harsh Vardhan. If he does not like the suggestions he can ignore them. But this vitriolic outpouring only exposes his own insecurities and incompetency. What a precedent to set. History wil definitely remember him for this.

For pulling no punches, this question asked at a press conf with the head of a country may have few equals: “Do you have blood on your hands?”-January 3, 2008, Islamabad. Q by a Brit TV journo to GenMusharraf after BB’s assassination.Don’t know why I remembered this today.
