Awesome to see Belfer highlighting @garmstrongscott’s important work - have a read if you’re interested in how addressing violent extremism online can be improved. @BelferCenter.
🚨 New @BelferCenter report from @garmstrongscott & Jim Waldo. Tech companies & gov'ts have spent the past decade trying to address the threat of terrorist and violent extremist content online (TVEC). How effective have their efforts been, and where can they improve?. 🧵⬇️

Cute discovery of the day while processing some health-related data - found a postcode called 'NORTH POLE' with the number 9999 close to inner-city Melbourne. What is it? @auspost's 'Santa Mail' address. Probably won't be finding any GP clinics there!

I'm passionate about health affordability & access, but this is more personal - @garmstrongscott and I write in @NZStuff about how NZ's fertility system discriminates against same-sex couples, requiring $$$ to have a child. Policies should change.

OPINION: Denying same-sex couples access to public programmes by having different eligibility criteria based on sex, gender, and sexual orientation is discrimination.

Great work by @kennedy_school colleague @sanjayreddy303 and @PORTAL_Research looking at how branded inhaler manufacturers have kept out competition - great read.
Over the past 20 years, manufacturers have earned $178 billion on brand-name inhalers--obtaining numerous patents to limit generic competition. New work analyzes the history of patent challenges and litigation on inhalers and offers ideas for reform.🧵.
