Operation Sindoor? Bohot tight!

Scientific papers funded by NIH will publish online for free at the same time as in paywalled scientific journals. The grift of charging people to read the results of studies they already paid for is over. Interesting to read which journals lobbied against this: The trade group for JAMA; NEJM; Elsevier.
NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya has announced that the NIH Public Access Policy, originally slated to go into effect on 12/31/25 will now be effective 7/1/25. Read more in his statement: bit.ly/4jTQI4O

Quote included: "Providing speedy public access to NIH-funded results is just one of the ways we are working to earn back the trust of the American people. Trust in science is an essential element in Making America Healthy Again. As such, NIH and its research partners will continue to promote maximum transparency in all that we do."

Remember Nagina Bibi, an elderly widow in Jharkhand who was cheated of Rs 24,000 by a Business Correspondent in 2020? Now a bogus micro-finance outfit has cheated her of Rs 40,000. She is unable to marry her daughter. Rural India is full of sharks who swindle helpless people.

My father, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., experienced bouts of depression.
I’ve had my struggles, as well. My mother shared about them in her memoir, ‘My Life, My Love, My Legacy.’
You’re not weak. You’re not alone.

At Yale he would strut like a champ,
While quoting his mama at camp.
“Nuvvu ekkada nunchi ra?”
His athayya said, “Ha!”—
“You write books but can’t light a lamp!”
Here is a man who should be invited to take over teaching social determinants of health at Columbia University. Fantastic, ‘culturally appropriate’ analysis 😂
