From #Gaza to the #Amazon, the scientists who risk it all for research... If you have time for one long read today make it this! @longreads @scidevnet tinyurl.com/3svbepcv
Sustainable healthcare isn’t just about medicine—it's about how we test, too. Explore how innovative, #ecofriendly diagnostic tools can reduce healthcare’s environmental footprint: bit.ly/3X7soCR Via @SciDevNet
New HIV drug 100% effective - but why does it cost $40,000? We need to grant generic licensing through the UN backed @MedsPatentPool, and make generics available for all of Africa, Asia & Latin America. @SciDevNet scidev.net/global/news/ze…
Mpox vaccine rollout to begin in Nigeria, DRC. @SciDevNet's update on the multi-country #mpox outbreak here: scidev.net/global/news/mp…
Curious about Africa's battle against the #mpox outbreak? Nigeria is leading the charge with the immediate rollout of 5,000 vaccine doses, while the DRC prepares for its largest shipment yet. scidev.net/global/news/mp…
Thanks to @Yawansah12 and @Adapt_Alliance for this insightful article on funding for grassroots climate adaptation projects, like Zambia's seed banks. tinyurl.com/3k8h8xsc
As #Paralympics2024 gets underway, a reminder of the inequalities faced by people with disabilities in the global South and why investment in assistive tech is crucial: tinyurl.com/36zwvd4d @SciDevNet
Delighted to contribute my first article @SciDevNet -bringing science & development together through news & analysis - who I have admired for years scidev.net/global/news/ba… @ISTJA_IE @RuthHDouglas
Our thanks to Yvonne Pinto, incoming director general of @irri, for this exclusive interview with @NeenaBhandari4 for @SciDevNet ahead of taking up post. We wish you luck in your new role! shorturl.at/ruDE6
Another report on the flailing #SDGs. In this one, @UNESCAP says Asia Pacific's progress on SDG 13 - climate action - has gone into reverse. Govts must see urgency of pursuing climate action, not just winning elections, writes @ranjitdevraj @SciDevNet: shorturl.at/IQS26
A simple packet of oral rehydration salts could save so many lives. So why are many children in India and elsewhere not being given it when they need it? Thanks Claudia Caruana for unpacking this illuminating research for @SciDevNet: shorturl.at/guOW0
Almost two-fifths of Sudan's population face dangerous levels of food insecurity and this is expected to worsen as the conflict spreads into new areas in 2024. Thanks to Hazem Badr for this insightful article @SciDevNet: shorturl.at/iBOSU
Great investigative piece by @Jennifer_fact and @theplainjain for @SciDevNet uncovering how misinformation in non-European languages is being bypassed by social media platforms. Please read it! shorturl.at/boDNY
'The transition may be fast...but [it] is not funded or fair.' @mohadow of @PowerShftAfrica sums up what many are saying about the #COP28 deal now the dust has settled. More finance needed for #developingcountries to decarbonise and adapt. @SciDevNet shorturl.at/nxOS3
What are climate-vulnerable countries saying about the 'landmark' #COP28 deal? Transition away from #fossilfuels is a start but where is the funding for adaptation and a green transition? @SciDevNet reports: shorturl.at/gklP6
It's been a long night, but we are making use of these last few minutes to review texts and consolidate our position on the way forward. We will once again leave COP united with a renewed focus on keeping 1.5 alive.
#UniversalHealthCoverage doesn't just mean rich and poor. It's also equality of access for people with #disabilities and other marginalised groups. People like Anna Nzioka, featured here: shorturl.at/akGOU @SciDevNet #InternationalUniversalHealthCoverageDay #UHC
In Malawi, women in remote areas, with limited access to health services, are learning to detect breast cancer symptoms themselves. Small but life-saving steps towards health coverage for all. shorturl.at/dtOQ0 #InternationalUniversalHealthCoverageDay @SciDevNet
Global goals on #UniversalHealthCoverage, like so many others, are not even close to being reached. Surely a huge #SDGs stimulus is needed to reorient progress, as called for in this @SciDevNet article: shorturl.at/bDMW6 #InternationalUniversalHealthCoverageDay #UHC
Interesting to follow the huge push for domestic vaccine production in Africa right now. This new funding is a major boost. Now finance institutions must invest in capacity building and tech transfer, says @Gavi tinyurl.com/4ba8sdpt @SciDevNet
