AI/GenAi is an integral part of what i do at work and otherwise. But the most impressive food recommendation came from a old stayle chat over coffee for a puffiza place recommendation - was quite nostalgic :) #puffiza #Hyderabad #GenAi

AI in healthcare raises tough governance questions. In our latest paper for the Indian Journal of Medical Ethics, @bharath_red and I propose a task-based, risk-focused framework grounded in identifying market failures and clarifying governance objectives. @TakshashilaInst

@meghaphd Yes re...haven't yet lost bearings that much:)

@PotdarPushkar Are you sure you are in Rajajingar, Bangalore and not Rajajingar in Hosur?😉

Ok, what just happened! 75 mins from Bellandur to Rajajinagar in peak evening hours! Had budgeted well over 120. How?! #Bengaluru #bengalurutraffic #miracle

In another era Kohli or Gill might have considered playing county cricket to prepare for england 2025 but well..bring on IPL...and we will wonder why they knicked so many again in June July #INDvAUS

@airindia Flew from bangalore to zurich on December 2nd - miles not yet credited to account. Have raised missing miles claim as well - no update for last 1 week. Please assist.

A proud moment for Takshashila! Shambhavi Naik(@TheNaikMic), Head of Research, participated in the Biological Weapons Convention Working Group meeting as part of the International Science Council's(@ISC) expert panel. The panel explored key measures to strengthen the BWC, including compliance frameworks, a science and technology advisory board, and international cooperation mechanisms. Delighted to see her impactful work in global biosecurity policy being recognised.

Bioeconomy and emerging biotech being discussed in Parliament! There are exciting times coming up for life sciences in India. @saurabhtodi

The last few weeks have been super-instructive, navigating the scientific and political issues that must be addressed to strengthen the BWC. Many thanks to @ISC for this opportunity!

#PRSreejesh - what a champion! What a career! The goalposts felt so secure with his presence. An Olympic medal is a great way to sign off!

@kumarayyagari Unbelievable experience I am sure!

i was lifeguard on the georgia tech campus when the US nationals took place in 2008. Was watching over #MichaelPhelps and #RyanLochte among other swimmers ! Had the best view in the house & 0 worries about doing any ‘work’ ! best job in the world !

@ManuBhaker01 just hit legend status - first Indian athelete with 2 medals in a single olympics! What a come back and what a story!

Excited to announce a 4-wk course on navigating the life science policy ecosystem in India. If you are interested in how policy is shaped, and how you can engage with it better, apply here: school.takshashila.org.in/ecc-life-scien… Course duration: 14th Sep - 5th Oct.

@meghaphd @neelmani1305 Your friend's favorite- Alu Vadi - Maharastrian version

@neelmani1305 In #Karnataka we have. Dish called patrode which we make with colocasia leaves. A version of this is in our #traditional #food project.

@TheNaikMic @MenonBioPhysics @AnantBhan @TakshashilaInst @orfonline @TheNaikMic ..it is mostly your resolve to excel at all fronts which makes it possible. We just play our roles and love it 😀.

@MenonBioPhysics @AnantBhan All thanks to colleagues @TakshashilaInst, @PotdarPushkar and the nannies. Also the @orfonline team who accommodated my baby at all the T20 events last year. I hope seeing her play around at national and international events inspires other parents to bring their kids along too.

We should normalize children being welcome in academic meetings, workshops- it allows for (esp young) parents to be able to join in & not be left out Glad to see more of this happening in #academia #research #globalhealth Even better is availability of (free) childcare in events

No country in the world has been as successful at counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency as India. Also, when you consider the scale of the challenge, the complexity of society & geopolitical balance, our armed forces, security forces & police have done an exemplary job.

Haha what a cool way to advertise @TheNaikMic

@meghaphd Agreed - we also need to train them to build resilience in face of no vision to carry on and work towards developing their own vision?

This heartfelt op-ed resonates deeply with my ambition for our students. “Let us tell our young people that they are imp and that our policies and practices will keep them first” Coaching centres are a business answer to a social problem. It will take an ecosystem to reverse.

What's holding you back from applying to Takshashila's 48-week Post Graduate Programme in Public Policy (PGP)? Our staff dispel some common myths about the PGP in our new series, "Mythbusters: PGP edition"!

Not only is India's R&D spending stalling, the underwhelming utilization of funds by departments and lack of visibility means no scope for immediate improvement either. Needs a lot of focus for the growth ambitions we have. Needs some management consultants :) @TheNaikMic
