Sangeeta Bhatia, an Indian-origin scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has been named the recipient of the 2015 Heinz Award for Technology, the Economy, and Employment.Bhatia who has developed artificial human microlivers for drug testing, won a prestigious $2,50,000 Heinz award for her work in tissue engineering and disease detection.The Heinz Awards annually recognise individuals for their extraordinary contributions to arts and humanities; environment; human condition; public policy; and technology, the economy, and employment.“This type of recognition helps to bring science into the public eye so that everyone can appreciate the dedication and innovation that is happening in laboratories all over the country,” said Bhatia, the John J and Dorothy Wilson Professor of Health Sciences and Technology and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.Ms. Bhatia's team has pioneered the fabrication of artificial human microlivers, which are being used by many biopharmaceutical companies to test the toxicity of drug candidates.She is also using microlivers in the lab to model malaria infection and test drugs that can eradicate malaria parasites completely. She hopes to eventually develop implantable liver tissue as a complement or substitute for whole-organ transplant.Ms Bhatia will receive her award on May 13 at a ceremony in Pittsburgh.

Delicate Leaf Cuttings By Omid Asadi

Your birth is the reason of joy for him,Mere first touch with closed palms meant the world to him.

Locking his fingers in your tiny palms for hours and hours,You were the reason to forget all the sorrows dour.

Returning home stressed and tired,But forever fervent to take you in his arms instead.Strives hard to give you the best till the end of time,To make you happy and blessed for lifetime.

Providing you with best education and facilities,Fulfilling your every kind of demand with smiles,You are standing proud today on his piles of sacrifices.

He is the best man in your life the God has blesses.

He is the man of iron and words rather.He is the tower of power.He is one epitome of perfection and much farther.He is and always will be your beloved and best father.

--Hemisha

A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The woman below replied, "You are in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground.

You are between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude.

"You must be an engineer," said the balloonist.

"I am," replied the woman, "How did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I am still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help so far."

The woman below responded, "You must be a Manager."

"I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"

"Well," said the woman, "you don't know where you are or where you are going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise, which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault.”

Thanks for sending enewsletter regularly. It's a proud moment for Bhatia community and specially for me, that we have taken our community awareness and communication program to a greater heights.

Bhatias always have been known for their entrepreneur skills & innovative ideas for the welfare of the community and society at large (Reference - I've read in a book about Bhatia's history).

I am happy to know that this kind of connectivity would be helpful to come closer and improve our networking amongst the community members, which is very low in our new generation.

Kindly do let me know, if I can help my community or any members as per my strength and capabilities.
