Super excited to share that I received an Honorary Mention in the #ProjectSirenAwards2025 for my story "FE Mental Health Series | Every 40 seconds, someone dies by suicide – Can we prevent the next?" Grateful for the recognition!
1/3 🔶 Our next honorary mention goes to @SushmitaPanda for her piece in the E Mental Health series, ‘Every 40 seconds, someone dies by suicide—Can we prevent the next?’
Her story frames suicide as a preventable crisis..
$BEAM Therapeutics is targeting a year-end US regulatory filing for risto-cel after the investigational base-editing therapy met the primary efficacy and safety endpoints in its pivotal BEACON trial. My latest for @PharmaScrip

We now have confirmation the PM2.5 hours that went missing in CPCB records on Diwali were the night's worst.
DPCC's updated readings for 30/59 show all above 1,000 µg/m³: Mundka peaked at 3,744, JNU 3,023, Mandir Marg 2,908 and Nehru Nagar 2,808. @htTweets @JasjeevGandhiok

Breaking:
# Firecrackers accounted for 80% of Delhi's #AirPollution hours after #Diwali night, steadily declining between 1 and 9 am.
Super work by @iitmpune for sharing this real-time source apportionment data.
🙏 @Priyanshi50 for the alert

Industry’s share of NHS interventional trial enrollment: 3.8% in 2025/26, down from a high of 13.2% in 2017/18. The ABPI calls the trend “worrying” and offers its reading of the cause.

Nearly 110 patients rushed to AIIMS Delhi’s eye emergency after Diwali celebrations, most with firecracker-related eye injuries.
18 suffered corneal perforations or lacerations and required emergency surgery. Another 20 are slated for surgery today.
Most victims are children and young adults.

Hi, I’m a reporter with The Indian Express. Any entrepreneurs/professionals who have left Delhi-NCR because of the air pollution, or are thinking about doing so? Would love to hear about your experience. Please DM me.

Web desks, across different publications, are notorious. It has become an accepted practice — almost peculiar to Indian #journalism. Such a practise, described as whatever in news parlance here, is actually legalised plagiarism. (This IE story, it seems, is a web-only piece).
The @IndianExpress has reproduced and reworked substantial portions of an exclusive interview with actor Rishikanth, conducted by The Hindu's @srinivasjam at our Chennai office. It has also used a photograph from the accompanying photoshoot by our photographer, @thamodharran, without permission or credit.
Quoting an exclusive interview is standard journalistic practice. Reproducing virtually an entire story, even with portions reworded, is not.
We find this disregard for original reporting and photography deeply disappointing. Credit where it is due is a basic tenet of journalism.

Revolution’s $RVMD pancreatic cancer drug has stunning commercial debut
It might be too early to call Rasonque the best cancer drug launch in history, but it’s certainly close, and investors are now re-evaluating their forecasts for what lies ahead.

$BNTX is expanding pumitamig’s clinical programme, with seven pivotal trials underway. The moves come as co-founders Ugur Sahin and Özlem Türeci prepare to hand over operational leadership ahead of a new CEO taking charge in February 2027. My latest for @PharmaScrip .

Just learnt that French journalist Vanessa Dougnac has passed away.
The OCI card holder covered South Asia for more than 2 decades. In 2024, she was unceremoniously asked to leave India because of her reportage. She bade goodbye to Delhi with a heavy heart.
I covered this case at the time. It was not only Dougnac who was under government scanner, several other foreign journalists working in India faced restrictions.
After Op Sindoor PR bungling, govt has realised the importance of foreign journalists. But long way to go!
RIP
