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 https://t.co/j0hFoX3r87

🇬🇧 is proud to remain a key partner of @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.
Huge thanks to Minister @AnnelieseDodds and the UK government for their new pledge of £310 million flexible funding to @WHO for the next four years. We welcome the UK's continued commitment to work together towards a healthier, safer, and more resilient world. #InvestInWHO

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.

Rachel’s thread is a great explainer of how we can get vaccines quickly in a pandemic, goes through 5 key steps in our blog and offers insights from her time in UK Gov during Covid ⬇️
In March 2020 as covid-19 struck I was in UK govt. I had expertise in vaccine innovation financing so was quickly brought into policy decisions on UK domestic & international covid-19 vaccine policy. Domestically, the UK made a lot of good calls and we got vaccines early... 🧵

Such a kind, caring and committed teacher. I will not forget him joining a class on investigating outbreaks on a Saturday evening @HarvardChanSPH just to humbly listen in and interact with the students as a class participant rather than an instructor!
Remembering Dr Richard Cash, who inspired so many of us in and outside of the classroom.

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.

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.

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 @salonium's
