#Nutrition champion, led the Nutrition Evidence to Action Initiative and a range of grants at the @gatesfoundation. Recently retired. All views my own.

Joined June 2013
I’ve worked with some of the most gifted, hardworking, and committed people during my career — which makes it bittersweet to announce my retirement from @GatesFoundation. I’m cheering for all you #nutritionchampions and look forward to the progress and lessons to come.

Claims made by the formula milk industry about their products are often misleading, scientifically unsubstantiated & violate the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes https://t.co/86Bf69PSeK

Thread.
1. This will be a thread of Republicans shamelessly exploiting King's legacy by pretending to honor King with a tweet while using their power to oppose everything that King stood for Follow along if interested.

Nice work, Madeline!
A great start to a new year! Starting another patient admitted for a long course of IV antibiotics on hep C treatment in-house. QI in action. @asherjs @KateandOlive_ @UNC_IHQI @IDfellow_happy

These trends underscore an urgent need to increase commitments to promote, protect & support #breastfeeding - everywhere. Toddler milks are nutritionally unnecessary & climate unfriendly. Their increased consumption calls for greater action to protect #FirstFoodSystems
Amazing teamwork to produce the first-ever global trend analysis on #breastfeeding and #bms consumption indicators. Thank you all! @equity_iceh @PhilBakerNZ @WHO @EllenPiwoz @giovisgd @ProfJulianaVaz

Having the Will and the Where-with-all! Well done! (the world will be watching....)
Impressive commitment at World Bank spring meetings from 13 Ministers of finance and development on food and nutrition security and its links with human capital —“we have the will and the wherewithal—let’s do it”! @MamtaMurthi @WBG_Health @FundNutrition @SaniaNishtar @karinagould

Being somewhat of a data geek, every morning I studied @COVID19Tracking and am sorry to see it end. Some great lessons have been learned - thank you all! https://t.co/NSEfuaQh9u

We’re still thinking about pandemic data in the wrong ways.

Multitasking for MMS -- #HMHBLaunch. Scaling up MMS for women is hard but hopeful says @Rjheidkamp @DrEmilyRSmith and @jbadham. Great country experience and lessons shared from SA and Indonesia. Its time to deliver says @RigsbyAndy

It was fun and an honor to moderate today's @TheLancet launch of new maternal and child undernutrition Series. Prioritizing maternal nutrition this #NutritionYearOfAction across all sectors WILL accelerate progress.

Jaw dropping report from the US House and @CongressmanRaja. Despite in-house testing by companies like Gerber (Nestle-owned) and Nurture Inc (Danone-owned), baby foods w/ high levels of toxic metals were knowingly sold without warning – a huge betrayal of public trust.
Based on the findings of my Oversight Subcommittee investigation, I’m calling on the FDA to regulate the levels of toxic heavy metals in baby food and inform the public of the risk. Parents have been misled by baby food manufacturers https://t.co/nHWo64sktN

When addressing racial and ethnic inequities in public policy we need to think more about power inequity -- industry economic power in particular -- says @lucymsullivan. #foodpolicynext

Unhealthy, unnecessary, AND expensive: the @ARCH_Nutrition report shows the cost of GUMs is 9 times that of whole cows's milk! Like @UConnRuddCenter says -- better to "keep it simple, keep it real"...
The evidence on the harms of toddler milks - or sugary drinks for babies - continues to grow. New report on the Nutritional Composition and Labelling Practices of Growing-up Milks (GUMs) in Indonesia, finds 80% contain added sugar (that's not lactose)

Fruit drinks and toddler milks: Marketed as healthy, but pediatricians say otherwise. See why it’s best to keep it simple, keep it real in these videos from @1000Days and @UConnRuddCenter
