One big lesson from humanity's history is that pandemics happen all the time. Our ancestors couldn't do much about them, but our situation today is different — and so I think we should learn this history lesson and reduce the risk of pandemics. This chart is from Saloni's

The ongoing rollback of girls’ and women’s rights in Afghanistan is devastating. These heartbreaking stories show just how important—and urgent—it is for girls and women to be free to make their own choices about their futures. m-gat.es/3VVPVY9

Remembering the unforgettable Athens 2004 opening ceremony: the elemental approach uniting water and fire, past and present, the moving bodies unveiling millenia of history, the music, visuals, sculptures, Björk's incredible performance to top it all off. Still have chills.

All routine childhood vaccinations are free, and even if your child misses a dose, you can book a catch-up appointment. 📱📅 Check their Red Book or contact your GP practice to check they’re up to date. nhs.uk/vaccinations/n…

Such a kind, caring and committed teacher. I will not forget him joining a class on investigating outbreaks on a Saturday evening Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health just to humbly listen in and interact with the students as a class participant rather than an instructor!

I think that Sandel's book "The tyranny of merit" is very informative on why the Democrats lost the election to Trump: the (political) promise that everyone gets what s/he deserves when working hard legitimises inequality, demoralizes the working-class and soul-destroys the rich.

🇬🇧 is proud to remain a key partner of World Health Organization (WHO). Diseases do not respect borders. So it’s vital we work together for global health security. Our support will help the WHO protect seven billion people across the world by 2028 from health threats like mpox.

Musk's claim that just 10% of US aid reaches recipients is absurd. @cgdev lays out the facts: - US gov costs are just 10% - Rest reaches recipients mostly thru US corps/nonprofits + multilateral agencies - ~10% goes thru foreign organizations cgdev.org/blog/no-90-per…

Was it for this that the US spent 80 years building power and alliances? Not to be a force for good. But instead to impoverish neighbours, threaten those it protected, rob minerals from war-torn countries, and break its promises to 100s of millions of the poorest in the world? 🧵
