Nothing feels stranger than submitting an NIH R01 in the midst of all this uncertainty. The anxiety is real.

Is it just me or does everyone receive multiple invitations to serve as an editor or a reviewer from the frontiers journals? I’ve been getting about 3 invitations a week for the past year or so.

"Small talks for Big Change" My take on how unequal partnerships in global health are the drivers of vicious cycles and perhaps the easiest opportunity for an exit from the cycles. I share our experiences at the African population and Health Research Center.

Cervical cancer mortality in US women younger than 25 years significantly declined between 2016 and 2021, likely due to the widespread adoption of HPV vaccination.

A heartbreaking loss. “All she needed was a D&C”
NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all.
Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.

Hard pass! This would likely result in baked-in bias that becomes further encoded through replication and uncritical citational practices in industry and academic research
The idea “is to give social science researchers more freedom when conducting studies. By creating digital replicas which behave like the real people they’re based on, scientists can run studies without the expense of bringing in thousands of human participants every time.” 🫠
AI can now clone your personality in only two hours – and that's a dream for deepfake scammers

Obviously, you should follow the WHO. Far from perfect, but pretty darn decent given the size of their budget (way smaller than CDC) & a mandate to cater to 196 countries.
Trump will likely exit the US from the world's health agency, again.
