Please apply or share with someone who is interested in doing a PhD on "Exposome & Chronic Lung Health in UK Coastal Communities" Key Question: Why do rural and coastal areas like Lincolnshire have persistently higher rates of COPD compared to the UK population, even after adjusting for age and deprivation? This PhD project will investigate how the "rural exposome" – including agricultural emissions, solid-fuel heating, older housing stock, coastal aerosols, and climate change – affects chronic lung health in the ageing population of the UK's rural and coastal areas. Key aims: o   Understand how outdoor and indoor environmental factors drive lung disease prevalence and exacerbations o   Link short-term temperature changes and airborne pollutants (PM2.5, PM10, NOx) to emergency visits and hospitalisations in the over-40s o   Provide evidence to inform interventions that reduce health inequalities 🔗 Full details: findaphd.com/phds/project/e… #PhD #Exposome #LungHealth #COPD #PublicHealth #EnvironmentalEpidemiology #AgeingPopulation #Lincolnshire #HealthInequalities Lincoln Institute for Rural and Coastal Health (LIRCH)

Sanskrit Rock! A project by Trilok Music & me, to present ancient Sanskrit hymns in modern music This one is the Tandav Stotram, composed by Raavan in honour of Lord Shiva The rendition is modern, but the devotion is as deep as the resonance of the universe Hope you like it!

@ZackPolanski Prime minister is right here. You are such a disgrace.

Yesterday in Hastings, in the wake of antisemitic attacks in Golders Green, I faced Nazi salutes. Today the Prime Minister uses his office to attack the only Jewish party leader to score political points.

Trump handling Iran!

This is a remarkable achievement. India’s indigenously developed Breeder reactor utilising a self-sufficient nuclear fuel source like thorium will allow it to generate clean energy to meet its high energy demand for industrial growth and domestic consumption.

Good Morning to you all from Stratford Upon Avon, the birthplace of Shakespeare

@narendramodi Wondering why this message is not sent in all the local languages of India for all the selfless Karyakartas to read in their mother tongue or local spoken languages? 🤔

Warm greetings to all BJP Karyakartas across the nation on the party’s Sthapana Diwas. Our Party has always been at the forefront of serving society, guided by the principle of India First. Our Karyakartas are known for their selfless service, unwavering dedication and a deep passion towards good governance. They have worked tirelessly at the grassroots, ensuring maximum people are connected to our ideology and work. We also remember the countless workers whose dedication, sacrifice and perseverance have shaped the party’s growth over decades. The BJP stands as a party that places well-being of people at the centre of its vision. This is reflected in our work at the Centre and in various states. BJP remains committed to building a Viksit Bharat. May our collective resolve continue to drive this vision forward and take India to new heights of progress and prosperity. #47YearsOfNationFirst @BJP4India

Greetings on Easter. This sacred day celebrates hope and renewal. May it bring peace, joy and brightness to everyone’s lives. May the teachings of Jesus Christ inspire all to be kind and strengthen the spirit of togetherness in society.

Good Friday reminds us of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice. May this day further deepen the values of harmony, compassion and forgiveness. May brotherhood and hope guide us all.

Sharing your culture with others fosters mutual understanding and trust, ultimately leading to friendships.

First away day with the incredible interdisciplinary team at Lincoln Institute for Rural and Coastal Health. Wonderful setting at Doddington Hall and Gardens ( built 1595-1600) to reflect on how understanding community lies at the heart of impactful research. A brilliant opportunity to connect with colleagues as I settle into my first few weeks as Professor of Climate Change and Health at the University of Lincoln. Looking forward to the journey ahead.

When I was legally blind and unsure if I would ever write again, @ShashiTharoor saw something I couldn’t — possibility. He told me simply: write. That moment changed my life. On his 70th birthday, I celebrate the man who brings intellect, empathy and courage back into public life. My column, Writer Unblocked in @OpenMagazine: openthemagazine.com/author/suvir-s…

Many congratulations #India for winning the #T20WorldCup2026final. Very well deserved. @Jaspritbumrah93 hats off to you.

@MumbaichaDon Your understanding of Balen is limited. He has performed exceptionally well as the mayor of Kathmandu. He is going to do much better than all the previous Prime Ministers of Nepal.

Nepal's next PM might be a rapper🤦‍♂️ Balendra Shah—aka Balen—is crushing it in polls ahead of Mar 5 election following last yr's 'Gen Z' uprising. 35-yr-old rapper 1st blew up as Kathmandu's mayor in 2022—now front-runner for top job. May Pashupatinath Save Nepal from such Jokers. Mahadev Ji saved Bharat from Rahul Ghandy.

मां भारती के कर्मठ सपूत वीर सावरकर जी के जीवन से हमें विपरीत परिस्थितियों में भी अपने संकल्प पर अडिग रहने की सीख मिलती है। उनका साहस, संयम और मातृभूमि के प्रति समर्पण का भाव सदैव देशवासियों का पथ प्रदर्शित करता रहेगा। धीराः शोकं तरिष्यन्ति लभन्ते सिद्धिमुत्तमाम्। धीरैः सम्प्राप्यते लक्ष्मीर्धैर्यं सर्वत्र साधनम्॥

@EllieCohanim @realDonaldTrump It's foolish to even consider that Donald Trump could have any positive role in this relationship flourishing. Self-glorification is a hallmark of Donald Trump.

Israel-India Relationship is blossoming with the blessing of President @realDonaldTrump! 🇮🇱🇮🇳🇺🇸

I attended the AI Impact Summit today. 5 made in India AI Products BLEW my mind: 1. EkaScribe: A doctor in a busy rural clinic see 5 patients without touching a keyboard. The AI handles the prescriptions, history, and filing. 2. Ottobots: Made in India autonomous robots that can deliver medicines in hospitals, navigating elevators and cooridors by themselves (no more family members rushing to pharmacies). 3. Sarvam Kaze: Sleek, Made-in-India AI spectacles that "see" what you see. They don't just record - they explain the world to you in your local language via bone conduction like a genius translator whispering in your ear. 4. Sarvam Edge: AI that runs on your phone with zero internet - translates 22 languages in real-time even while you're in a basement. 5. Mankomb’s "Chewie": AI native kitchen appliance that literally eats your waste. It converts wet waste - bones, meat, and fluids into nutrient rich "RegenSoil" in hours using real-time AI sensors.

If the U.S. held an election banning the Democratic Party, would you have called it a success? If the UK held an election banning Labour or Conservatives, would it have been democratic? If India held an election barring the Congress from contesting, would it have been a triumph for democracy? Or can Nepal transition into legitimate democracy by banning the UML or the Maoists? I mean, I congratulate the millions of Bangladeshis who turned up to cast their votes. That country needs a democratic transition from the unelected technocratic regime of Yunus. But almost all analysts, while praising the smooth conduct of the elections, seem to forget the fundamental flaw of the process — one of the largest political parties in the country remains banned. And it this ban that is empowering the Islamist Jamaat e Islami.
