AKMG Georgia's 5th Annual Holiday Food Drive: Making an Impact in 2025

Good morning AKMG Family! We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends. As we close out the year, the AKMG Georgia Chapter is excited to share major progress on our 5th Annual Holiday Food Drive campaign! Including cash and check donations, our 2025 Holiday Food Drive has raised an impressive $5,077.00 and is still growing!This generous amount will translate into 15,231 nutritious meals provided by the Atlanta Community Food Bank for our neighbors in need. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has donated thus far—your support makes a tangible difference in our community.We were also proud to have our current president, Dr. Elizabeth Mammen Prasad, kick off the 2025 giving season as our first donor! The need for food security remains high, and AKMG Georgia is committed to continuous support. Over the last four years, the AKMG Georgia Chapter has helped provide over 80,000 meals to the hungry and homeless in and around Atlanta. We are especially proud of our 2021 contribution, where we presented a check for $4,037 to the Atlanta Food Bank. At that time, that amount was enough to provide over 16,000 meals—a tremendous feeling of community service. Every donation, large or small, adds up. Even $25 is a great gift for the hungry and homeless.
Donations are fully tax deductible ($\S$ $\text{501(c)(3)}$ if applicable) Employer Matching: Many employers will match contributions, doubling your impact!
Thank you, AKMG, and thank you to our generous donors!Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! — Dr. Shankar Unnikrishnan — Dr. Subrahmanya Bhat, Immediate Past President, AKMG Georgia

Cancer As a Journey Into Our Deep Evolutionary Past – Dr. Khaleel Ashraf

Cancer. The word itself strikes fear, bringing to mind a disease that feels like a betrayal from within. As the world's number-two killer, its a subject of immense research, with over a million papers published in the last fifty years alone. But what if our understanding of cancer is fundamentally flawed? What if this seemingly modern disease is not a chaotic accident of our genes, but a ghost of our evolutionary past, an ancient survival mechanism gone rogue? This perspective, while perhaps surprising, is gaining traction among scientists. It suggests that cancer is not a new invention of damaged cells, but a reversion to an older, more primitive way of life.

The Great Evolutionary Leap: From Individualism to Community For a staggering two billion years, life on Earth consisted solely of single-celled organisms. Their imperative was simple and si...
