LA JOLLA--Salk Institute for Biological Studies Associate Professor Sreekanth Chalasani has been awarded a grant from the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative for developing a way to selectively activate brain, heart, muscle and other cells using ultrasonic waves, which could be a boon to neuroscience research as well as medicine. Chalasani will receive over $1 million for the first year of the award to expand his groundbreaking technology into mammalian cells. If it works in humans, such a technology could be used for deep brain stimulation--a common treatment in Parkinson's and depression. It could also be used outside of the brain to act as a pacemaker for a heart or to produce insulin from pancreatic cells. "The Chalasani lab developed a revolutionary way to precisely target specific cells in a living organism using sound waves," says Salk President Elizabeth Blackburn. ...

Los Angeles-based Indian American actor-director Anisha Adusumilli ’s debut short, “First Date,” is among six short films from across the globe screened at the 22nd annual South Asian Film Festival held in Florida Oct. 1 to Oct. 3. The premise of this hilarious short, which will see its Southeast premiere at the prestigious film fest is: Deepak meets his future bride, Rashmi, for the first time. She’s not exactly what he expected but everything he’s ever wanted. “First Date” is a passion project stemming from pressure from Adusumilli’s mom to find a man and get married, and a direct result of her putting Adusumilli on an Indian dating site without her knowledge, she said in a statement. The comedic short is a fantasy (literally and figuratively) she had as she wondered what it would be like to be arranged in marriage as a first-generation South Asian in this app-driven, millennial dating world. An artist from a young age, Adusumilli began studying classical piano at the age ...

Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) appointed  Mannava Sri Kanth Prasad   as the new chairman of the national selection committee. BCCI’s decision of appointing Prasad and the rest of the selection committee was in complete defiance of the Lodha Committee recommendations, which had called for a three-member committee as opposed to the five-member one that the Board has stuck to. Mannava Sri Kanth Prasad, during his playing days, was a wicketkeeper batsman. He made his international debut in an ODI against Bangladesh in Mohali in 1998. His first Test cap came the following year against New Zealand at the same venue. Prasad was brought into the setup in place of Nayan Mongia who was nursing an injury. This opportunity allowed MSK to play six Tests until 2000. In 2000, Mongia was called back to the India squad which led to Prasad getting dropped. He didn’t find a way back to the national setup since then. After being dropped from the Test squad in 2000, Prasad c...
