India does not lack awareness of hair loss. Over 200 million Indians live with it, and for most, the signs are difficult to ignore. On the occasion of this Hair Loss Awareness Month, Traya co-founder Saloni Anand, argues that what Indians lack is the kind of awareness that changes anything.”Hair loss is the body telling you something internal needs attention.

This is the second consecutive month that retail inflation has stayed above the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)’s 4% target, even while remaining comfortably within its 2%-6% tolerance range.

For his project, Kang trained AI models to detect patterns associated with neurodevelopmental disorders from a large public dataset of retinal images. Instead of one approach, he used several techniques to improve the performance of the models. What if a simple picture of the eye could help doctors diagnose neurodevelopmental conditions earlier? For 17-year-old Edward Kang of Hackensack, New Jersey, that question became the foundation for an ambitious science project that combines neuroscience, artificial intelligence and cell biology. His research, RetinaMind: Novel In Silico and In Vitro Retinal Models of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, investigated the potential for retinal images to provide…
