Disasters occur with almost unpredictable probability, even though some ideas about the regions of incidence and likely impact on likelihood are available in the scientific literature. In this lecture, I have taken a full view of six disasters that include hydro-geological, meteorological, climate based like floods and droughts as well as the biological holocaust of Covid-19 pandemic. The approach followed in this lecture is to analyse the occurrences, incidence, history and devastation caused by the disaster. The impact and policies to alleviate the effects are also discussed. The culture of disaster reliance is discussed at the end.

Building capacity and capability for science diplomacy: challenges in decolonizing the curriculum for Global Health System Leadership.
Front Public Health
March 2025
International Academy of Public Health, Amman, Jordan.
Education policy is the front and center of contemporary science diplomacy. This is particularly the case in global health where nation-states are being called upon to equip their health workforce with leadership skills and competencies to improve population health and engage in health system development. In the perspective that follows, we argue that successfully meeting such demands requires not only a high-quality education offering but also one that is aware of and engaged with the coloniality underpinning its underlying assumptions.

Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide and is often diagnosed at advanced stages, limiting treatment options. This systematic review aims to evaluate the efficacy of liquid biopsy in detecting genetic mutations in NSCLC, focusing on its sensitivity, specificity, clinical utility, and potential to guide personalized treatment strategies.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library to identify relevant studies published between 1990 and September 2024.
