اگر گہرے گڑھے میں پھنس ہی گئے ہو تو سب سے پہلی اور سب سے اہم گزارش یہ ہے کہ کھودنا بند کرو۔ یار، خدا کا واسطہ ہے، کھودنا بند کرو!

JUST RELEASED HRCP has released a report consolidating the discussion and recommendations of five provincial consultations and a national conference which took place in 2023. These discussions highlighted how Pakistan's political-electoral landscape can be made more inclusive

As Tom Stoppard once wrote, “It's not the voting that's democracy; it's the counting.”

Our #waterquality research reveals a consistent trend: higher coliform levels = more waterborne. Even though coliforms are indicator bacteria and used as proxies, not direct measures of enteric pathogen ingestion, this strong correlation is alarming! #PublicHealthCrisis 🧵

🚨Excited to share my #JMP! "Do NGOs Matter for Development? Evidence from Pakistan" NGOs often fill gaps left by limited public spending on health, education, etc.📚🏥But do NGOs truly move the needle on development? Let’s dive in!👇 🧵[/10] 🔗dropbox.com/scl/fi/pe7ozsn…

The best part ? Started as an exploratory question in Spring '23 Applied Data Analysis course at School of Mathematics & Computer Science-IBA-KHI. We asked if banks were creating value? How would we prove or disprove it. Multiple conversations with Maroof A. Syed to ask if this was a question worthy of exploration.
