I’m 21 again… 😁 My 21st donation at the #Irish #bloodbank this morning went off without a hitch… you can help save a life by making a #blood donation

https://opndt.shinyapps.io/bloodbank_india/

The main motivation behind this simple shiny app is to make it easier to locate #blood banks in I#ndia along with pincodes, addresses, contact person name and number.

Data:
Data for the #bloodbank application is sourced from Open Government Data Platform. The original data is available as a csv file called “Blood Bank Directory (updated Till Last Month)”. The raw data file, processed data file and my shiny code is made available on my github.

I have tried my best to comment and explain where necessary.

Data limitation:
One of the limitations of this application is that the data is not 100% accurate. If we plot the raw data we see a few bloood bank location in Africa. There are close to 82 NA values for latitude and longitude.

Hence when we create the shiny application we will ignore these points. I am in a process to update these points.

Help:
In case you observe the data projected on map is incorrect and you have more accurate or additional information that could be updated it will be great if you can email me - atmajitsinh.gohil@gmail.com and i will update the same.

Some #FoodForThought from the #researchpaper linked above💡💡💡

“Importantly, in my view, the term ‘genetically similar to’ also helps to avoid the assumption of homogeneity within labels; ‘similar to’ does not imply ‘same as’. Similarity-based sample descriptors also move us some way to acknowledging the continuous nature of #geneticvariation across #humangroups in our sample descriptions. I am more genetically similar to some samples than I am to others, but that does not imply that there are natural groupings. Nor do similarity-based labels imply how I, as an individual, might choose to identify or what distribution of environments I might experience. For example, a person may be genetically similar to 1000 #Genomes samples labeled Southern Asian, yet in itself this similarity does not identify them as Southern Asian, whereas stating that a person has ‘Southern Asian #geneticancestry ’ comes much closer to making that linkage in people’s minds.
Working out the #genealogicalhistory of individuals and of groups of people from around the world is a fascinating area of research, but it should not be the day job of the majority of researchers in the field of #humangenetics , who instead need accurate sample descriptors of current day #geneticdiversity that aid clear communication.”

Very early progress on a blood work lab that I was commissioned for.
will be used in recording instruction videos for university students as well as potential location for vr lessons with props (and basic working machinery) to use as examples.

Guess an introduction post is in order!

I am MD/PhD who originally trained in clinical medicine, but fell in love with Transfusion Medicine and decided to make the leap into Pathology. My interests are #bloodbank and #informatics, which I hope to seriously invest in when I do my upcoming fellowship at the NIH.

I am married to the best exterminator in the state, and we parent two cats together. Happy to be in a more intimate social media environment!

Real #introduction time. Hi I'm Dani, a medical lab scientist. I've been on the net since the '80s, so this isn't my first rodeo. :blobcatfingerguns:

If you don't know what we do, we make doctors look smart. We do all the blood and body fluid testing — #chemistry, #hematology, #immunology, #bloodbank, #flowcytometry, etc. We are the jack of all lab trades.

In my previous life I was in #IT. I love all kinds of #music, #tech, #gaming, #cooking, #metadiscussion about games and media, #ethics, and #geopolitics. My guilty pleasure is #fanfiction.

We are all just cash cows (goyim) to these corporations. From your thoughts to your blood, you are pimped for profit, usually without consent and/or full disclosure.
