Are you looking for a way to make money online? If

Are you looking for a way to make money online? If you're a student, housewife, or part-time worker, you're probably looking for a way to make some extra cash.

The bad news is that most of the websites you see in reels and tiktoks that promise to pay you for browsing the internet and filling out survey forms don't exist, and if they do, they don't work in Pakistan (and other developing countries).

The good news is, there are actually businesses in your area that offer remote positions. All you need is a skill to offer.

There have been rumors circulating on Mainstream M

There have been rumors circulating on Mainstream Media/Social Media about Google Play Services being suspended by Dec 1, 2022.

📰 The State Bank of Pakistan has suspended a payment of $34 million to international service providers after which mobile users will not beable to download Google Play Store services from December 01, 2022.

Mobile Network Operators (MNO) allow users to make in-app purchases (Skins, Weapons, Coins etc) through airtime or mobile balance and in-turn settles payment directly through Google. State Bank has paused such payments, as a result of which consumers will have to use alternative channels such as Debit/Credit Card to make any such purchases.

This does not impact Google Play Services in any way and they will continue to work.

This image from the lens of Dr Adeel Shafiq ,has been making rounds on social media internationally. The enchantment this image embodies never ceases to amaze the eye , and now it's making us proud as a Pakistani to see the talent being appreciated at so many forums.

Mohammad Adeel in Islamabad, Pakistan, shared this photo he took of the last partial solar eclipse. He wrote: "You can not only see the shadow of the moon obscuring a part of the sun, but if you look closely at the lower edge of the moon's shadow over the solar surface, it appears to be jagged and unusual.

These are visible due to the solar light passing through the mountains and peaks of the lunar surface at the terminator, giving it a jagged look. The black dot that you see over the right lower half is just a visibility marker hanging over the distant power lines.”

40 students from across Pakistan took part in the

40 students from across Pakistan took part in the first All Pakistan Asteroid Search Campaign affiliated with NASA and the International Astronomical Search Collaboration (IASC).

14 preliminary (potential discoveries) were made during the event by the students as reported by the organizers.

The campaign started on 21st October 2022 and ended on 15th November.

Students were given data and detailed instructions on how to make asteroid discoveries.

☄️ The First Asteroid Campaign in Pakistan

The All Pakistan Asteroid Search Campaign was organized in the country for the first time.

The students got to work as NASA Citizen scientists.

The campaign was brought to Pakistan by a student society named IST Space Society in collaboration with the Attock Astronomical Society.

The IST Space Society belongs to the Institute of Space Technology (Pakistan).

The campaign brought together researchers, and students from high schools, colleges, and universities.

Students Get to Name the Asteroid

The asteroids which are confirmed by the IASC and NASA enter the ”preliminary discovery” stage and once confirmed, they are labeled as actual asteroids.

Students who discover asteroids are awarded certificates and are allowed to name them.

Local fishermen in Balochistan’s Gwadar accident

Local fishermen in Balochistan’s Gwadar accidentally caught an extremely rare sunfish that weighs over 2 tons and is typically found in the deep sea.

It was reported by ARY News, that the fishermen caught this rare fish species known as ‘Sunfish’ or ‘Mola’ on Friday.

Unfortunately, due to a lack of sufficient storage capacity and technology, local fishermen are driven to sell their fish to global trawlers.

We have a tremendous news for everyone interested

We have a tremendous news for everyone interested in Neuroscience, for millions of patients suffering from the debilitating Alzheimer disease, and a proud moment for all Pakistanis.

Pakistani-origin Neuroscientist Dr Ali Jawaid (@alijawaid_) who heads TREND lab @jawaidlab in Warsaw, Poland has been awarded a whooping amount of 1.2 million Euros to discover mechanisms for non-pharmacological therapy for Alzheimer disease.

Dr. Jawaid will lead a team comprising globally reputed neuroscientists from Poland, Switzerland, and Australia to explore the potential of environmental enrichment as a therapy for Alzheimer disease. He postulates that environmenral enrichment approaches can alter the properties of brain immune cells microglia in a way that they can selectively remove toxic deposits and unhealthy neurons in neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer disease.

Acromymized as TREMENDOS, Dr. Jawaid’s project won the highly competitive 2022 call from European Union Joint Program for Neurodegeneration. He was previously awarded 400K Euros to study epigenetic inheritance of childhood trauma in 2021.

An alumnus of Aga Khan University (Pakistan), Baylor College of Medicine (USA), and ETH Zurich (Switzerland), Dr. Ali Jawaid has published in top-notch scientific journals including Nature, Science, Nature Neuroscience, Neuron, and Molecular Neurodegeneration. With an H-index of 25 and only in his mid 30s, Dr. Ali Jawaid is well on his way to become one of the most successful Neuroscientists, not only of Pakistani origin but also globally.

An engineering team comprising of students from students from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Egypt from Heriot-Watt University has won a cash prize and a national 2022 James Dyson Award for inventing a new system to tackle bushfires.

The team has designed a system called “FireOut” after being horrified by devastating wildfires in countries like Australia.

The “FireOut” team won the equivalent of £5,000 in their local currency as winners of the UAE National prize in the 2022 James Dyson Award. The competition is an annual student design competition run in different countries around the world by the charity of billionaire British inventor and industrial designer, James Dyson.

Bendable concrete scientifically termed as Enginee

Bendable concrete scientifically termed as Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) is a type of Ultra-High-Performance Concrete in which short discrete fibers are added to make it flexible and ductile.

Its special properties make it possible to build highly safe, cost-effective, and long-lasting earthquake-resistant construction with lower carbon footprints. Due to inherent ductility and improved tensile capacity, ECC can help to reduce 30-40% steel reinforcement and 25-30% concrete volume in the structure reducing the overall cost of the project by 20-30%.

Students, Sikandar Ali Khokhar and Touqeer Ahmed along with their advisor Dr. Rao Arsalan Khushnood at NUST Institute of Civil Engineering have been working on the implementation of Bendable concrete in Pakistan to provide a safe and economic alternative against deadly earthquakes.

During 2 years of R&D, they developed a more rapid designing tools and simplified adoption methodologies that removed the uncertainties in the way of commercialisation of Bendable concrete.

Currently, they are also working at National Science & Technology Park (NSTP) with the startup named “Bendcrete”. The company is working to create a more resilient and sustainable society by using their innovative composite.

They aim to mitigate the damage potential of high intensity ground motion, as well achieving better structural integrity.

National University of Medical Sciences (NUMS) Raw

National University of Medical Sciences (NUMS) Rawalpindi has won a grant of over Rs 7 million from the Higher Education Commission (HEC) for conducting research into identifying “biomarkers” for the detection of cancer at an early stage in the Pakistani population.

Asma Saleem Qazi is an Assistant Professor of Molecular Pathology at the Department of Biological Sciences (DBS) NUMS. Her research proposal was selected by HEC through a competitive process held across the country under the National Research Program for Universities (NRPU). This research project will last for three years.

According to WHO, the number of overall new cancer patients in Pakistan in 2020 stood at 178,338, among them 88,015 were males and 90,373 were females.

The development of diagnostic panel for early-stage cancer detection project will gather samples from the Pakistani population to help in early cancer diagnosis.

Meanwhile, NUMS and the Malaysian University College Sedaya International (UCSI) are also collaborating to study the anti-cancer potential of certain hemi-synthesized derivatives or plant extracts in treating cancer.
