At #UNGA80, global leaders will re-commit to addressing NCDs & mental health. I’m excited to take part in this high-level side event to translate political commitment into practical action for NCD prevention and care. Stay tuned for the post-event recap! #ActOnNCDs

Frustratingly, I once again hear folks in the econ-adjacent, 'aid reform' camp going soft on PEPFAR -- ready to jetisson billions in life-saving HIV aid to get peanuts for innovation, incubator funds and the like. PEPFAR works. We're winning the war on AIDS. Hold the line.

My plan tonight was LFC v Real Madrid. My better half had other ideas. From why Trump won, to political education of young people, & lack of narrative among progressives, it was a great conversation between @juliagillard.bsky.social & @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social. Thanks @giwlkings.bsky.social
