If you need to fill the empty space of the audience with round tables, maybe you should not hold the meeting!

Comparing the relocation of US academics to France with academics fleeing from the Gestapo (e.g. Walter Benjamin) is a long stretch. And to those who think the situations are comparable, remember the French Resistance. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Amazing article on health-related environmental conditions in schools in #Ecuador #health #environmenta

What we know about yellow fever outbreak in Ecuador. Ecuador's MoH: One confirmed case is not an outbreak. WHO: It is (www.who.int/emergencies/...) MoH: 95% of the target pop. is vaccinated Me: how would you know? Ecuador lacks a Vaccination Registry and an integrated system of EHRs.

@karenattiah.bsky.social Now, what?

Thank you Alberto, based in England and with feedback from Oxford folks, for publishing in Developing World Bioethics. Especially, I thank you for acknowledging Tolulope Osayomi (University of Ibadan), who could have, instead, been a co-author. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Academia can be a place to make good friends but the norm is to "come together" among equals w/an occasional "lifting others" effort. Is this call for cheap labor (e.g. post-docs, foreign fieldworkers) to join the struggle or are they not considered even now? www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

New Study Examines Distress Migrants' Right to Healthcare in Ecuador www.umass.edu/public-healt...

Being an election observer is tricky. Ecuador's presidential campaigns were launched today, amid potential/implicit military interference. And election observers like me must focus on the voting and vote counting process that are guarded by... the military. www.eluniverso.com/noticias/pol...

As a regular op-ed columnist, I understand how important it is for newspapers to uphold the freedom of the press. When a writer criticizes leaders that the newspaper supports, editors have the responsibility to protect the integrity of democratic dialogue. open.substack.com/pub/anntelna...

Saywa's new sister!

Brazilian president vetoed the law using the "timeframe thesis" to strip land from the Xogleng, but Congress can overrule this. Supporters of the law say Brazil's 1988 Constitution protects indigenous rights assuming historical possession but the Ibirama-Laklãnõ Indigenous Land was created in 2003.

I appreciate the effort but the hypothesis and conclusion related to economic support are sloppy. The authors admit HDI measures are outdated & the approach "is not the most appropriate". & the most important finding is minimized (more support fewer deaths)! rsp.fsp.usp.br/artigo/were-...

It is well known that Cuba does not report health data fully or adequately (e.g. academic.oup.com/heapol/artic...) & is a propaganda state. An English-speaking delegation from zero Latin American countries finds Cuba's COVID-19 vaccine is great. Funny. mediccreview.org/full-technic...
