"So if you have a science-related wishlist, a person or project that you think needs support, especially if you have a brief writeup explaining why it matters and why it’s possible, I’m all ears."

The title of this piece is a little clickbaity, because the connection between impact assessment and pandemics is tenuous, but I strongly support the project to improve our measurements of the health impact of interventions. Better resource allocation will save many lives.
How the G20 can prevent the next pandemic
As the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated, the global health system is only as strong as its weakest link. This column proposes a Global Health Impact metric to measure the effectiveness of health interventions by evaluating lives saved and disabilities prevented. The authors suggest that by considering the dynamic nature of health interventions and their effectiveness in different contexts, the metric can facilitate more equitable and targeted resource allocation. They also propose linking health funding to measurable outcomes in order to incentivise long-term investments in global health and ensure better pandemic preparedness and responses.

As we (in the northern hemisphere) move into the winter virus season and start running the heat more often, this is a good time to change and upgrade your filters. A top-of-the-line filter costs about $10 and keeps a lot of junk out of your lungs.
