For an outsider(me), the field seems full of cool ideas, methods and promise! 3/3

Finally, we discuss single-cell methylation and RNA clocks. JC-style Slides here (we did a lot of chalk talk): saket-choudhary.me/DH603/syllab... 2/3

Interested in the omics of ageing? We taught a short course this semester. Focus was on learning the nuts and bolts of the various ageing clocks that exist out there and how they work (or don't). 1/3

The first part of the semester-long course at KCDH/IIT Bombay focuses on teaching the statistical techniques required to analyse public health data.

Did death patterns change in India pre- and post-COVID-19?
What (likely) explains the seasonality of births in India?
Does wealth (not?) drive happiness?
These are some questions we tried to answer in the Spring '25 run of DH302-Introduction to Public Health Informatics (1/2)
Even more interesting is to see the change in the month of highest births. For example: Norway (from April up to 2000s to July there after):

As a field, I believe we must move towards COMIC SANS logo plots immediately.
