Abdul Wahab , my dear the virologist are already working on vaccine, meanwhile learn some ethics and try to write in a good manner.
Mashallah! Itnay saray mechanical engineering k international Islamic university Islamabad se….!!!
Yes, they are emerging now.
This is not the complete list as many names are missing including my name at serial number 104023 in table S7. Please correct this list
All of them must be abroad by now
They are in Pakistan. I met Faisal Shafaat in December last year in FIT conference
good to hear
This is not a complete list. Names of several Pakistanis mentioned in Stanford University released list are missing. Please include all. Also include the name at serial number 114693
114693 Jones, Diane
No mention of LUMS?
MY name is Asghari Maqsood not Asghar Maqsood mentioned at no 52.
What are the parameters for selection of names of scientists?
Research papers published in journals
Plz recheck the list. Some other scientists are also missing. Dr khuram shahzad ahmad from fatima jinnah women university name is missing as well.
The list prepared by the Stanford’s professor is not scientifically rigorous. Just number of citations is no hallmark of research distinction when there’s no substantial contribution in existence. We produce more than twelve thousand research papers, with some even over 100 a year, yet not a single acclaimed theory even to date, what to talk of scientific breakthrough. Look at the posts of these so-called “researchers” how they show craving for fame.
I am very much glad for 81 persons for scientific research mind & approach, name of Pakistan into World.
Best wishes for them to improve more for design our industrial system for more export as in China etc.
This is not the complete list as many names are missing including my name at serial number 109663 in table S7. Please correct this list
Congratulations. These are remarkable achievements of scientists from a small country with limted resources. It was all due to their presuance, hardwork and consistency. I hope they will continue their researches, train and guide the new comers to work on these lines.
