Here is a further comment from Tahsin Khan after he checked in on the previous BLOG posts.
Sir, it looks good. Given the recent trend among applicants in the past few years have been towards engineering and "tech", it's great to see that you are imbuing the need of great story-telling in their writings. I strongly feel that without context of scenarios that are "outside of the box", students (postgrads and postdocs including) simply become cog wheels with a philosophical void of their work. Hence story telling is an imperative component of any research/technical writing. It is a tool that will allow students to play out the scenarios in the scenarios in their head before actually embarking on a journey.
Also, Sir I have been recently contacted one of the professors in Nottingham regarding a potential PhD project based in Bangladesh which will model the spread of epidemic among the Rohingya population. The project is a joint venture between Nottingham, WHO, UNICEF, Johns Hopkins, Univ of Maryland, ICDDRB and BCSIR (I just recently learned that's the official abbreviation of Science Lab). This project is going to be a massive undertaking and have already commenced. However, I am only allowed to join in from April, during which time I might have to visit the sites. Sir, I want to take this opportunity to expand the scope to use data to address some of the socio-economic conditions of the marginalized/under-represented/oppressed population of the country. I have already hired one of my mentees from Nurture.Ai to work on these issues from Bangladesh.
He also suggested this particular article, which we did TOGETHER during his Application time. Here is the LINK from Nature Magazine.
