Really interested in learning more about international development economics, e.g. how countries can increase GDP, alleviate poverty via macroeconomic change, trade, etc. Anyone have any good book recommendations? #bookrecs #poverty #globalhealth #humanitarian

[Ben Cobb @BenCobb_]

Excited to soon launch a new podcast with a #globalhealth expert, focused on the financing of #humanitarian work. As we prepare to release, we are looking for someone in the global health or marketing/media field to help produce the #podcast. DM or email if interested.

[Ben Cobb @BenCobb_]

Will be more interested as an actual plan emerges. General commitments without concrete timelines have a habit of disappearing. Next step should be a defined plan, even if preliminary. #jeffbezos #globalhealth #PovertyAlleviation

The world’s first malaria vaccine will be rolled out later this year. What other scientific tools could help defeat the mosquito-borne killer? Listen to “Babbage” https://t.co/SjK8vF6LlF

Great #globalhealth episode from @TheEconomist podcast on the future of malaria prevention https://t.co/vbYSa4ZnNz

From vaccine inequity, to climate change-caused famines + natural disasters, to supply chain repercussions, 2021 reminded us all that countries are more closely intertwined than we often think. Let’s remember that entering 2022. #globalhealth #globaleconomics #COVID19

I’d be interested in reading about the impact of economic disruption to U.S. businesses trickling down to their labor, factories, etc., in LMICs #economics #globalhealth #supplychain
