When USAID abruptly withdrew, life-saving humanitarian projects collapsed. In the Philippines, the CDP is showing that even in forced closure, it's possible to uphold ethics: preserve trust, stay accountable, prevent harm & sustain Read our piece here: journals.plos.org/globalpublic...

🚨 In our Invited Perspective, @shashikalb.bsky.social & I raise a red flag on how policies + politics fuel othering—labeling some groups as “different” from the majority. We call for action: 💛 Center kindness 👂 Listen + unlearn ✊ Stand up against othering mjgh.library.mcgill.ca/article/view...

Thank you @plosglobalpublichealth.org for giving me the opportunity to highlight this important issue. The lack of engagement from the global health field in addressing gentrification highlights an urgent need for interdisciplinary approaches that bridge policy, research, and community action

A great episode that forces one to reckon with our role in global health and development The development field often neglects health, but @themrise.bsky.social reminds us that health is everywhere and both fields have more in common than what they assume open.spotify.com/episode/2jOb...

Latin American journals are open-access pioneers. Now, they need an audience
