BREAKING NEWS
The 2026 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel “for their discoveries concerning light-gated ion channels and optogenetics.”
I truly believe in the words of Tedros A. Ghebreyesus, “In short, the need for a science-led, evidence-based, impartial and globally representative health organization has never been greater.”…..
Why the need for the WHO has never been greater nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Remembering P. N. Srivastava on his 9th death anniversary. My mentor and role model at JNU, he exemplified academic excellence, humility, generosity, and grace. His inspiration endures since I first met him in 1976. RIP, ‘Prof’ 🙏

Working paper by EAC-PM red flags the unchecked and continuing rise in consumption of tobacco products in rural and urban areas to economic and public health sustainability! Time for all stakeholders to act… share.google/mQblyTU6T7JI5JL…
Red-flag warning: lung cancer incidence and death across India, especially in NER rising. Women catching up fast with men should be a major concern indicating tobacco control isn’t delivering it’s objectives @MoHFW_INDIA @PMOIndia @FCTCofficial @WHOSEARO

RETRACTED: A major @NatureComms study claiming nicotine promotes breast cancer was based on fabricated data.
This fear-fueling paper came from US researchers at a highly respected academic institution—a wake-up call for science.
Public health deserves better: evidence, not ideology.

Grim status of cigarette smoking health implications in India. Let’s not miss the fact that ‘bidi’ smoking and chewing tobacco (SLT) user population cohorts far outnumber the cigarette smokers and need attention. @india_toi @MoHFW_INDIA timesofindia.indiatimes.com/…

Compared to research fundings in most developed/developing countries, Indian universities & researchers had to manage in small budgets. This 15x duty hike would be like pulling plugs on Indian scientific research endeavors for ever! Should be reversed… timesofindia.indiatimes.com/…
And I am happy that it was indeed reversed…

Fondly remembering my respected mentor and Guru, Prof. P. N. Srivastava, on his 7th death anniversary today 💐! His teachings, positivity and humility continue to be my moral compass and guiding beacon. Rest in Peace, Sir 🙏!
My son, Dr. Ankur Sharan, bought a new TATA.ev (Punch Empowered+LR/ACFC) on 7.6.2024 at Gurgaon with enthusiasm for safe and ‘green’ drive. His dreams are shattered due repeated glitches in 1st 5 days! We are disappointed. And we demand answers! @RNTata2000 @Tataev @TataMotors
While one arm of @WHO, @IARC, estimates meteoritic rise in global cancer by 75% by 2050 and flags @tobacco as 1 of its 3 main drivers, the other arm, @FCTC, has to pragmatically shift gear in its efforts to control tobacco @MoHFW_INDIA

Yet another World Cancer Day and the problem continues! Tobacco, alcohol, obesity remain the main drivers causing oral, lung, breast and cervical cancers with high rate of mortality in India. Public awareness, early detection and medical intervention should be our response…

WHO's goal itself is low - 30% relative reduction, relative to prevalence in 2010. Actual reduction: 6-7%. This is less than tobacco death rate, easily surpassed.
