Outbreaks start locally. Preparedness must too.

In a piece for @ThinkGlobalHlth, I outline why strong national public health agencies are the backbone of global health security.

Professor Odejide's work in Communication and Language Arts has shaped generations, and her advocacy for gender mainstreaming has left an indelible mark on the soul of our academic community.

"Her work reflects an enduring commitment to nation-building and the promotion of values that foster unity, progress, and enlightenment.
