#Globalhealth isn’t just done by governments. The private sector has efficient research & development pipelines and #vaccine delivery systems that can help efficiently target those with the most need. #Globalaid is can benefit communities while also investing in US business.

What an honor to meet Dr. Peter McElroy, Deputy Chief of the Parasitic Diseases Branch at the CDC. The CDC has the tools and partnerships to effectively prevent, detect, and strategically respond to #malaria, but funding interruptions remain the biggest challenge to elimination.

It’s crucial to remember when discussing #globalhealth programs is that they are driven by bilateral interventions. Countries receiving global aid know the issues and the gaps. They come to the table with their own solutions, which we can support to build stable, self-reliant systems.

Dr. Jerome Adams started us off with some important reminders. When you give to another community, you’re not taking away from your own.

“For every patient I treat in the operating room, there’s 100 patients I can’t see. Public health allows me to have that reach.”

“Pathogens move faster than politics… Disease surveillance abroad is the first step to protection at home.”

Brian Massa opens the United to Beat Malaria / Shot@Life joint National Advocacy Summit with a reminder on why the US cannot step back from #globalhealth.

Honored to present my #malaria research for the second time at @NHMU’s Scientist in the Spotlight. From staining blood smears IDing to #parasites under the microscope, it was a privilege to engage visitors and teach about the #science of asymptomatic malaria in #Cameroon.

It was an incredible experience to share my research on #malaria #influenza co-infections at the Science Café yesterday! A big thank you to the NHMU for organizing it, and thank you to everyone who took the time to attend. #scicomm

Excited to give a lecture at the NHMU’s Science Café next week! Come if you…

🥼 Love #science

🧬 Want to understand the #immunesystem better

🦠 Think #viruses & #parasites are cool

💉 Want to hear how we learn from natural immune responses to better treat #disease!

🗓️9/17, 6-8 PM

First exhibit done! It was so amazing to share my work with so many curious people of all ages!

If you’re in the SLC area and missed it, I’ll be doing another exhibit on October 3rd!

Join me at my exhibit tomorrow from 2-4 PM at the Natural History Museum of Utah to learn about how doctors and scientists fight malaria, from inside the lab to the halls of Congress!

In honor of #WorldMalariaDay, I encourage you all to call/write to your Congressional representatives and advocate for the lifesaving global health programs that are currently under threat! Together, we can #beatmalaria

We have formed a team for the Move Against Malaria 5K! We’d love it if you considered joining our team for our hike on April 25th. We also hope you’ll consider donating to our fundraiser! $10 buys a bed net to protect a child from mosquito-borne diseases.

Malaria affects us all. Over half the world’s population live in endemic areas, and in the age of globalization, no one is safe until it’s gone. It increases susceptibility to other infections & overwhelms healthcare systems, inhibiting surveillance/prevention for other diseases. #BeatMalaria

AAI encourages members and friends of #immunology to #StandUpforScience on March 7. Join the rally in Washington, D.C., or participate in the National Day of Action to uphold the integrity of science, protect its accessibility, and ensure its benefits serve all people! standupforscience2025.org
