flood relief work in Pakistan

This is rather late. In August 2010, I had the opportunity to get closer to the frontline in Pakistan’s flood relief work. Admittedly, I have been quite aloof of all the happenings and developments thereafter with no reasonable excuse. In the next few lines, I will try to summarize my experience thr

A concept of “Us”

The twentieth century has been one of unprecedented progress in science and technology. So rapid, indeed, has been the pace of advance, that humanity is haunted by the awesome specter of possessing a level of technical competence far in excess of the measure of wisdom that would ensure its use to th

Alternative careers in science

So I was browsing through the Sanger library yesterday and came across a booklet on alternative careers for scientists published (quite recently I think) by AAAS (publishers of Science, the journal).

When this blog was first started, it was meant to be a place for free flow of ideas so that we will be able to understand our problems and discuss possible solutions to such issues. Sadly we achieved very little along those lines perhaps because the list of problems that we face as a society [...]

Pakistanis: we abhor Mumbai attacks and desire the strongest punishment for those involved

As hell unfolded in Mumbai in the past three days, there was an atmosphere of disbelief and a feeling of detestment in hearts and minds of average Pakistanis. Sustaining bomb blasts is one thing, BOOM, they happen and people die but after a few hours, the community gets some breathing time, some tim

Pakistan is for hire

We expect to be paid 100 billion US dollars for the dirty work U(S) are asking of us. Only 100 billion dollars and it will all be done, no problems. Actually, whoever pays our prices takes our services. So if U(S) can’t pay us, we might actually make it as bad as hell for ya.. [...]

Open source Optical Mark Recognition: a handy tool for cross-sectional research

For a medical student, questionnaire-based short term cross-sectional studies are shortcuts to research papers. A little more effort in study design and we can turn them into some kind of case-control study or at least publish it in a fairly reputed journal, a feat for someone at our level. While de
