India must scale up wastewater analysis for health surveillance as an effective population-wide monitoring technique, says Farah Ishtiaq 🐦(^o^) Tata Institute for Genetics and Society, India nature.com/articles/d4415…

And to help guide your students perform #research ethically, we produced a webinar to explore #bioethics, especially in the Indian context, with Saveetha Meganathan, PhD from Tata Institute for Genetics and Society, India youtu.be/0miaqeOIz3M

If you haven't already, I hope you’ll take some time to watch Descendant on @Netflix. It's an important documentary that shares the story of the descendants of the Clotilda, the last known ship carrying enslaved folks from Africa, as they uncover the truth about the past.

🎙️ Our collaboration with India Science Festival brings you a special podcast series! Ep 3: "SciTalks: Artful Explorations and Festival Chronicles" Hosted by Arushi Batra, PhD with guests Shweta Ramdas and Saveetha Meganathan, PhD Edited by : Agastya Singh 👉 buff.ly/4ajEKwy

Catch Saveetha Meganathan, PhD and Shweta discuss their experience at recently concluded India Science Festival, on #genetic literacy Initiative and the role of #public engagement in #science. #podcast IndiaBioscience.org

A day well spent with #students! The senior and junior ambassadors of the SAGE program conducted by the echo network got an opportunity to interact with the scientists and visit the facilities at TIGS to know more about our work. 🧵

Saveetha Meganathan, PhD provided a comprehensive overview of the Community Engagement and Policy Stewardship (CE&PS) program at TIGS, emphasizing the critical role of science communication through diverse multimedia platforms to ensure holistic stakeholder engagement.

The students experienced firsthand how the CE&PS team ideates communicating science to the public through engaging and interactive methods. From jingle-making and meme creation to storyboarding and comic creation.

In a new study we introduce a #OneHealth Index Calculator tailored for #India - combining fuzzy‑rating & entropy‑weighting on 156/216 indicators. It reveals budget-linked health performance gains & highlights data gaps for targeted policy action. 🔗ojphi.jmir.org/2025/1/e65039/… 1/3

The #OneHealth Index Calculator is an innovative, data-driven tool that reflects the interconnected health challenges in India and provides a blueprint for measurable, actionable change. BeST Cluster Rakesh K Mishra Saveetha Meganathan, PhD
