At the peak of the outbreak Sierra Leone was seeing 600 cases of mpox weekly. Over the last 8 months 200,000 vaccine doses have been delivered prioritizing the most at risk groups. Currently cases are down to 30 a week.
Public health works to end epidemics.

Sierra Leone’s mpox case-count is plummeting. Can the country get to zero new infections?
Ten months into a national public health emergency, and nearly six months into a vaccination campaign, Sierra Leone appears to be winning its fight against mpox.

It’s especially ironic because the lecture is exactly about the ‘paralyzing cowardice’ of today’s elites.

About universities, corporations and media networks bending the knee to authoritarianism. /4

This sentence was taken out of a lecture they commissioned, reviewed through the full editorial process, and recorded four weeks ago in front of 500 people in the BBC Radio Theatre.

I was told the decision came from the highest levels within the BBC. /2

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Apple is anti-union.

Tesla is anti-union.

Amazon is anti-union.

McDonald's is anti-union.

Starbucks is anti-union.

Google is anti-union.

Walmart is anti-union.

These mega-corporations aren’t on workers’ side and their actions make it painfully clear.

My colleagues and I reflect on how creative methods can improve health systems research and what we have learned from recent conferences. Something that is really inspiring me recently!
Attending conferences on #creative arts in health systems research left our team with rich set conversations, artefacts & provocations.
Several themes consistently surfaced as discussed in this article.

The shocking collective amnesia about what happened during the COVID-19 pandemic is unhealthy and prevents atonement and healing. Furthermore, if we don't learn now how will we prepare for the future? observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

You can make art.

The biggest step isn't getting good at art, it's being willing to make art that doesn't match the idea of "good art" in your head.

Making a lot of imperfect art is an essential step toward making perfect art; a counterproductive goal you shouldn't have anyway.

Just make art.
