Science moves forward when curious minds come together.
A wonderful experience at The Next Gene 2026, in New Delhi, discussing the future of bioscience, technology, longevity and healthcare - and meeting the people who may help shape it.
Your chai isn’t the villain. The temperature might be. ☕🔥
A new study following 977,282 UK adults for more than a decade found something worth letting cool for a minute:
People who preferred their drinks “very hot” had around 3× the risk of oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) compared with those who drank them warm. And even after accounting for temperature, 6+ hot drinks a day was associated with a 71% higher SCC risk.
Important context: this was an observational study, so it shows an association—not proof that hot drinks directly cause cancer.
The takeaway is wonderfully simple:
Don’t fear chai. Don’t fear coffee. Just don’t drink them scalding.
Sip. Pause. Let it cool a little. ☕
Because sometimes the healthier habit isn’t giving something up. It’s just waiting a minute.
Are you a “drink it immediately” person or a “let it cool” person? 👇

Your toothbrush is not heart medicine. But your mouth may still be giving you clues worth listening to. 🦷❤️
Bleeding gums, inflammation and poor oral health shouldn’t be brushed off as “just dental.” The mouth and cardiovascular system share risk factors and inflammatory pathways — even though brushing itself has not been proven to prevent heart attacks.
The smarter message is simpler:
Take care of your mouth. Pay attention to persistent changes. And don’t treat any part of the body like it exists in isolation.
One of the most interesting heart stories this week isn’t about a drug that failed to lower a number. It did lower Lp(a). The surprise is that, in the topline results, this did not translate into a significant reduction in major cardiovascular events.
That raises an important question: when a biomarker improves but outcomes don’t, what are we really learning?
Not that Lp(a) is irrelevant. Not that testing is useless. But that cardiovascular disease is rarely a one-number story. Genetics, blood pressure, LDL, diabetes, smoking, inflammation, age and time all matter.
And because these are still topline results, the full trial data will matter enormously in understanding the “why.”
Treat the whole risk picture. Act earlier. Stay curious.
Forget the meeting. That is an amazing thali. I actually had the pleasure of meeting him at the Viksit Bharat event a couple of weeks ago. Just a fabulous guy and an amazing event at the Swedish Embassy.

Vision is half of the equation. Execution is the rest. Was in Delhi with you this week and what I see developing there and in the India story is amazing.
Shot over Dwarka E’way yesterday midnight on my Mavic Pro. 2 corridors that promise good infra before population growth, DW + NGN E’way. Global city I shot last week in the day & it’s shaping up slow & steady. In a decade CPR will become very cool imv.
Well said. So impressed by this young man's humility and honor. This is in a sport, if you call it that, which is purely mental but clearly this kid has his faculties about him and knows how to play the game of chess, both on the board and off the board. I really like him

If you want a masterclass in what it means to be a true team player, this is it.
Gukesh, you are an officer and a gentleman.
You embody what I hope will come to be seen as quintessential Indian virtues: Humility always, aggression when needed.
👏🏽
Remarkable insight. Honestly in the last couple of years, with all that's going on, most of us have tuned out and we only read what we have to. With the advent of AI you can filter out things but I agree with you that we cannot be caught in this cycle of negative energy and
Three decades of heart surgery taught one surgeon something most patients never hear until it's too late: the same 3 mistakes walk into an operating room, again and again.
Skipping breakfast. Sitting for 10+ hours straight. Calling 5 hours of sleep "enough."
Remarkable. I would go further and say that community, family friends are the critical links to a great life. It’s who you have on the journey that matters…
