Today I had the privilege of training Youth Researchers from Zimbabwe & Tanzania as part of the 2025 Youth Researchers Academy (YRA).

The YRA teaches young people about research before they go on to do their own research projects.

🚨 What happens when vital health data disappears? The suspension of USAID funding for the DHS Program threatens global health monitoring, policymaking, and life-saving interventions. We must restore funding before this loss impacts millions. Share with your network!

Our trial to investigate the effect of a community-based intervention for STIs on population prevalence among youth in Zimbabwe (STICH) is published 💃🏽

Community-based STI screening appeared to reduce population-level prevalence of N gonorrhoeae.

Trump will reinstate the Global Gag Rule

Project 2025 wants a very extreme version

This will kill people

Reinstating the rule from 2017-2021 "increased the number of maternal & child deaths by about 27,000 per year" and led to an estimated 360,000 new HIV infections

US ‘gag rule’ leads to 90,000 additional HIV infections annually
