4. Obtain prescriptions needed prior to travel and/or check at airport #pharmacy prior to departure as there is no assurance of care (I was the *only person that responded for example in this case & medications were limited) on plane. #emergencymedicine #medical #medicalcare

1. Carry enough/ all pediatric medications (especially antipyretics eg ibuprofen or acetaminophen/ equivalents), 2. Carry all regularly scheduled medications (should be natural), 3. Carry administration devices for medications, in case of a sick child, eg syringe for liquids

This is my ?5th or 6th time responding to an in-flight emergency and have (unfortunately) seen a number of medical boxes. This is less so a blast on Turkish and moreso an alert to them and anyone flying Turkish/ traveling as #parents of sick #children - apparently, extra caution

I had the fortune of traveling @TurkishAirlines (again) last week. And the case of an in-flight #emergency with a sick child. I came to find out that the #medical box on the plane, unfortunately, did not seem to have pediatric dosing for meds ie adult only oral #medications.

Very sad to hear that UMass is rescinding all PhD admissions for Fall 2025. This means there will be no new PhD cohort, and UMass will not have a graduating class that year. This is just unprecedented and I am so very sorry for all the affected students.

I'm delighted to have co-authored this critical paper alongside other African global health experts (@seyeabimbola and @DrEmeruemJnr ) on how Africa's health systems can adapt and build resilience following the abrupt USAID cuts.

Finally caved. (Honestly, just didn’t want yet another social media THING to do.) Either way! Community is key. https://t.co/yMLGG5m7St. See you there! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

PS by lack of emotions management, I mean flying off the handle w/o boundary and/or being truly unpleasant as a person. Also, this is a commiserating post — it doesn’t matter how “senior” one gets…there’s always someone more senior who has the opp to wreak havoc. Protect you 4/

Random rant: that saying “don’t meet your heroes” has been my uncanny disappointment in #globalhealth. Each “hero” I’d always wanted to meet (3, in particular) -once I got to know them- were either so rude, very self-absorbed or simply lacked emotions management. I wished I’d 2/

🚨 As of February 7, 2025, Trump has been president for 19 days—and spent 9 of them in Florida. That’s 47% of his presidency on vacation. Each Mar-a-Lago trip costs taxpayers $3.4 million, adding up to $10.2 million so far. Where the hell is DOGE?

Donald Trump is making a deliberate attempt to overwhelm the system, and to overwhelm you. It can be difficult to keep up. And that’s by design. But we can keep up – and respond. Here’s what he’s doing, and what it means for you. Just the facts. 🧵⤵️

From our earliest days, Black history has always been American history – and Black folks have profoundly shaped our American culture through music, art, literature, sports, and beyond. One month a year is not sufficient to celebrate the power of the movements and the people who
