Ophthalmologist Dr. Agatha Aboe led the medical campaign in Ghana to eliminate trachoma (leading infectious cause of preventable blindness globally). It worked. Ghana became the 1st country in sub-Saharan Africa to eliminate the disease, 2018. #WorldSightDay #WomenInSTEM
A low-angle, close-up portrait of renowned Ghanaian ophthalmologist and public health pioneer Dr. Agatha Aboe. Celebrated for leading the historic medical campaign that made Ghana the first country in sub-Saharan Africa to eliminate trachoma in 2018, she is captured looking upward and to the left with an optimistic, serene smile. Her black hair is neatly styled with shaved, patterned sides. She wears distinctive semi-translucent, light-blue-framed glasses and bright orange, teardrop-shaped beaded earrings that offer a vibrant color contrast. Her top is a simple, high-collared bright blue shirt. The background features a soft-focus, minimalist golden-yellow architectural column under warm, natural sunlight. The tight composition and uplifting lighting establish an empowering, visionary mood, symbolizing her historical significance as a leading global voice for Women in STEM who now exports eye-health roadmaps to other endemic nations

What happened is scientists discovered chlorofluorocarbons were bad for the ozone, countries believed them, the Montreal Protocol was signed, and CFC use fell by 99.7%, leading to the stabilization of the ozone layer, perhaps the greatest example of global cooperation in history.

Beginning my research seminar, as always, with Lynn Hunt's essay How Writing Leads to Thinking (and Not the Other Way Around). Should be mandatory reading in light of the impact of AI. www.historians.org/perspectives...
Writing is stressful. Sitting in my computer chair my neck and shoulder muscles almost immediately tense up as I dig around in my brain for the best phrase or even any coherent string of words, whether I am writing an essay like this one, a book chapter, a letter of recommendation, or an email message to a friend. Writing is time-consuming. It’s a great way to pass the time on a long airplane flight because you lose track of the passage of time altogether. It’s even better, from that point of view exclusively, than watching an episode of Mad Men on your laptop. Writing means many different things to me but one thing it is not: writing is not the transcription of thoughts already consciously present in my mind. Writing is a magical and mysterious process that makes it possible to think differently.

Photos: Gaza’s shelter crisis aje.news/hksiqf
"Losing both work and housing have compounded the suffering of war,” says Mu'ayyad Sa'id, a father of three living inside a destroyed mosque in Gaza City. Unemployed, he constantly struggles to provide for his family's basic needs. [Mahmoud Abu Hamda/IOM]“I have lived through many wars, but I have never seen one like this,” says Salah al-Tawil. “It has consumed everything. The most painful thing about this war has been losing the right to have a home.” Salah and his family spent much of the war repeatedly fleeing bombardment and attacks before returning to their destroyed home in Maghazi. Over two months, he cleared rubble and repaired what he could, making clay bricks by hand to rebuild part of the house. [Mahmoud Abu Hamda/IOM]“Even basic things, such as having a roof over your head, enough food to eat, and sending your kids to school, have become difficult dreams to achieve in Gaza City,” says Youssef Mahmoud Aziz. Displaced from Jabalia in northern Gaza, Youssef and his family now live in a damaged school in Gaza City’s Remal neighbourhood, among many families trying to rebuild what they can amid widespread destruction. [Mahmoud Abu Hamda/IOM]“I wish I could hold my daughter, feed her and dress her like all mothers in the world do,” says Nibal al-Hissi. A young mother of one, Nibal lost both arms after an Israeli shell strike. She now lives in a tent at a displacement site in eastern Gaza, where even simple things like feeding herself, dressing and caring for her child have become daily struggles. [Mahmoud Abu Hamda/IOM]

Her father, Joan Sebastian Guerrero, had just been fatally shot and yanked from a car he’d been driving. Now, he lay handcuffed in the street, where he would remain for five hours.
