We are learning more each day about how little thought has been given to these measures. As I shared in my interview with Global News recently, the move has the makings of political theatre, rather than public health-grounded decision-making. 4/4 cc: @gstrategylab.bsky.social @ottawahealthlaw.ca

Another fantastic @asilorg.bsky.social Annual Meeting, and my last as Co-Chair of the Global Health Law Interest Group. It’s been a joy to help build this IG community alongside @alexandraphelan.bsky.social, @aliciay.bsky.social & @margheritamelillo.bsky.social. More on Vice Chair elections soon.

Now out in @bmj.com: With @mattherder.bsky.social, Fatima Hassan & Andrew Hill, we argue that the Trump administration’s deliberate assault on global health should be treated as a public health emergency of international concern under international law. www.bmj.com/content/392/...

A belated first post of 2026 to say…hi, hello and it’s been a while. I’ve enjoyed being a bit on the outskirts of socials last year - saying less and listening more. Will try to be incrementally more active on here in coming months - if only to post doggie pics and to say happy long weekend!

The International Health Regulations are getting a makeover this Friday, and that means parties will have to establish or designate a new "National IHR Authority". Cédric Apercé (Resolve to Save Lives) & I write in BMJ Global Health on why this new obligation matters. 🔗 gh.bmj.com/content/10/9...

It was a pleasure meeting new colleagues and old friends at the annual @acpd-calt.bsky.social conference hosted by @usask.bsky.social College of Law. I shared some reflections from a study I’ve been developing, exploring common threads and best practices in teaching public health law across Canada.

Orchids are among the hardiest indoor plants there is! Don’t throw your orchid out after the first bloom - it’ll rebloom for you again and again, with just a bit of water every week. I love this resilience in this one. Circa 2017

Fantastic analysis by @saludporderecho.bsky.social on how the consensus text of the pandemic treaty stacks up in ambition against the base scenario and the treaty's zero draft in terms of: ➡️ R&D ➡️ PABS ➡️ Supply chains ➡️ Tech transfer ➡️ Regional production 🔗 saludporderecho.org/en/pandemic-...

Buried in the PC platform, Poilievre pledges to defund "foreign aid to dictators, terrorists and global bureaucracies." Unclear who these entities are. If Leslyn Lewis' pandemic treaty fear-mongering is anything to go by, WHO may well be on chopping block. tinyurl.com/vzrj22su

We were delighted to welcome @uocommonlaw.bsky.social ’s @yybrandonc.bsky.social in my public health law class yesterday. Much of the course focuses on law as a tool to advance public health - but Prof. Chen masterfully guided us to think critically about that proposition, esp. in immigration law.

Worked on and off for 2 months on this 1000-piece puzzle based on art by Toronto’s Tahsin Al-Hassan (tahsinthegood.com). Only to learn in the end that a piece went missing in the puzzling 🧩 I’ll probably keep looking for the missing piece for months. But there’s a subtle beauty in its loss too.
