Thanks to @ifpri and our fantastic communications team for this interview. Sometimes one forgets where it all began and how the road to today unfolded so this was fun. I remain so grateful to my mentors, my family, and work colleagues.

A real pleasure to join this all the way from the US! Few things are more fulfilling than seeing government leaders interesting in solving big challenges like malnutrition. @IFPRI has been dedicated to strengthening efforts like this for years. Thank you @conradsangma.

Join millions who have switched to Grok.

Amazing to be at @ifpri at this moment in time. So proud of our entire team that produced this mammoth body of work under the editorial leadership of @cbb2cornell and @Jo_Swinnen and hosted this event! . And did I match my jacket to the report cover on purpose? Well, well!.

Join us to commemorate 50 years of policy research and impact. @IFPRI has been my work home for nearly 30 of those years on and off and in various roles - from intern in 1995 to senior director in 2025. It’s a work place to love and a journey that has meant the world to me.

Shawn Baker and I got to hang out at @nutritionwin with two of the 2025 #Time100 - a reminder that nutrition is the great connector between health and food systems. Congratulations @CGIAR_EMD @IsmahaneElouafi and @DrTedros and thank you for championing nutrition!

The road to better nutrition must be built on data, evidence, and innovation. The launch of the @CGIAR research for impact program Better Diets and Nutrition is our collective commitment to continue to deliver the evidence that helps make investments more impactful. @IFPRI.

@IFPRI @CGIAR The workshop on the CGIAR flagship report and the strategy dialogue on the @cgiar Policy program were a great introduction to why policies matter and why policy research and engaging with decision makers matters!

@IFPRI @CGIARnutrition @CGIAR @FCDOGovUK @ASEAN Great to see @doctorsoumya lean in with the biggest reason we must work on nutrition and healthy diets is the future impacts on societies and economies. She also highlighted pollution as a key issue and various policy entry points for better diets in India.

@IFPRI @CGIARnutrition @CGIAR @FCDOGovUK Plenary 2: A session exploring the @ASEAN @CGIAR collaborations both in the past and looking to the future. The region has a lot to offer even as it has a lot to work on with regard to diets, climate change, transforming economies and equity. Also - I decided to mask up!

@IFPRI @CGIARnutrition @CGIAR @FCDOGovUK Day 2 @cgiar -#ScienceWeek - started my day at a fantastic session on research in fragile and conflict settings. Tough work in places of the greatest vulnerability. Hearing our policy and action partners speak about how they use research to shape programs was amazing. @IFPRI

@IFPRI @CGIARnutrition @CGIAR Of note - Rachel Lambert of @FCDOGovUK and Prof Holger Meinke remind us of the need to prioritize our research and focus on research for impact. These are not easy but remain essential in the challenging world that faces us.

@OneCGIAR_TAFSSA @IFPRI @CGIARnutrition @TJKrupnik Energizing plenary session (unusual!). @CGIAR board chair Lindiwe Sibanda poses tough questions to a panel of high level policy makers from Africa - “do you know about the problems of malnutrition, inequality, climate etc?” “Do you know the solutions lie in science?” 🤩

This morning I presented work from @OneCGIAR_TAFSSA research program on our food systems assessment that aims to identify critical entry points for transformation from consumption to production. Learn more: @IFPRI @CGIARnutrition @TJKrupnik

Kicking off @CGIAR #ScienceWeek today! To hear @CGIAR_EMD lean in at the opening plenary with the issue of hunger and malnutrition among children was moving in ways I did not expect. Thank you Ismahane for reminding us why this work matters so much.

Merci pour votre participation @JulienPierre4 - the connections you made between nutrition, sports and schools (and sports as a tool for nutrition education!) were fantastic. The height difference across the panel - I am still smiling about. @nutritionwin @SchoolMeals_.
