2 dozen Indians among 650 experts picked to write next IPCC report
More than two dozen Indian scientists and researchers are in the list of over 650 experts chosen to write the seventh assessment report of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which is expected to be published in 2029. The IPCC assessment reports, or ARs, are the most comprehensive contemporary scientific understanding of the planet's climate system, the changes it is undergoing, and the impact it is having on the Earth and its inhabitants. These reports are produced in a five to seven years cycle and represent the state of knowledge of the climate system at that time. The different parts of the sixth assessment report, or AR6, were released between 2021 and 2023. Like previous reports, the AR7 would comprise three working groups, each producing a report of its own — Working Group I on the physical science basis of climate change, Working Group II on impacts, adaptation and vulnerability, and Working Group III on mitigation of climate change. There are nine Indian scientists and researchers in Working Group I and III and eight Working Group II. Three scientists from Pune-based Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, which hosts a Centre for Climate Change Research, are part of the group, the highest among Indian institutions. The Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, and the Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS), have two people each in the list. Several of these have contributed to previous assessment reports as well. A few Indians are working in other countries. A similar number of Indians, in the range of 20-30, have been part of the earlier assessment reports. The contributors to the assessment reports are initially nominated by country governments, which can propose as many names as they like.

Conch Shell Blowing Shows Promise In Treating Sleep Apnea
A new study suggests that blowing a conch shell daily may help improve sleep for those with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The research, published as a randomized controlled trial, explored how playing wind instruments can support better breathing during sleep. OSA is a common condition affecting nearly one billion adults worldwide, marked by repeated pauses in breathing while sleeping. In the study, 30 individuals with moderate OSA were divided into two groups. One group practiced a traditional Indian breathing exercise called shankh, which involves blowing into a conch shell like a trumpet. The other group performed deep, slow nasal breathing exercises. Researchers observed that participants in the conch-blowing group showed significant improvements in sleep quality and reported feeling more refreshed upon waking, compared to the deep breathing group. The study was led by Dr Krishna K Sharma from the Eternal Heart Care Centre and Research Institute in Jaipur, India. He said: "The standard treatment for OSA is a continuous positive airway pressure machine, or CPAP, which keeps the patient's airway open by blowing air through a facemask throughout the night. While effective, many patients find it uncomfortable and struggle to use it consistently. "In my clinical practice, several patients reported feeling more rested and experiencing fewer symptoms after regularly practising shankh blowing - a traditional yogic breathing exercise involving exhaling through a conch shell. These observations led us to design a scientific study to rigorously test whether this simple, ancient practice could serve as a meaningful therapy for people with OSA." The findings indicate that conch-blowing exercises may strengthen respiratory muscles and keep airways clearer during sleep, offering a non-invasive method to manage sleep apnea symptoms.

Hyderabad among top 7 life sciences clusters globally
Hyderabad: Telangana's thriving life sciences sector has propelled Hyderabad into one of the top seven life sciences clusters in the world and the only Indian city to achieve this distinction, IT & industries minister Duddilla Sridhar Babu said on Wednesday. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He said the sector attracted investments worth Rs 54,000 crore since Dec 2023, resulting in the creation of 2 lakh new jobs in pharmaceutical manufacturing, medical technology, and vaccine production. Pointing out that global giants such as Eli Lilly, Amgen, MSD, Zoetis, Evernorth, and Olympus have already chosen Hyderabad as their preferred GCC hub, he said Telangana will soon unveil its next-gen life sciences policy, which will be a "cutting-edge policy framework designed to attract large-scale investments." Sridhar Babu also said the state set an ambitious target to scale up its life sciences economy to $250 billion by 2030, with an eye on making Telangana the life sciences capital of Asia. The minister, who chaired the 6th board meeting of the Telangana Life Sciences Foundation in the city during the day, also proposed the preparation of a feasibility report for establishing the Telangana School of Life Sciences. The foundation's board members include Dr Reddy's Laboratories Chairman Satish Reddy, Laurus Labs CEO Dr Satyanarayana Chava, special chief secretary Sanjay Kumar, and Telangana life sciences director Shakti Nagappan.
