My @jakpost op-ed is out: Indonesia’s New #Stunting Policy: Elusive or Feasible?
As a power-laden field, #nutrition needs political calculations at the heart of its effective multisectoral coordination. After all, "policy is what it does." https://t.co/wTY5zvwqKT #PhDLand

@GusGreenstein @FukuyamaFrancis @rambletastic CONGRATULATIONS Dr. Greenstein!!! They told me “If you could do a PhD, you could do anything in life!” For it truly shapes one’s character.

Back to Twitter after a hiatus to give a shoutout to @carmenjho_ for this excellent piece that can speak to health nutrition policy / comparative politics / IR literature!
PS: I've finished all 3 Comps & finally working on my prospectus on the politics of stunting policy in 🇲🇨

[Carmen Jacqueline Ho @carmenjho_]

Why do governments ignore serious welfare issues? And what prompts them to finally act? My article with @apsrjournal shows how governments have weak incentives to expand policies serving folks with limited power on low visibility issues – but bureaucrats can help change this 1/👇

1/3 🧵 #COP27 ⁦@l_haddad⁩ ⁦@GAINalliance⁩ 3 🔑 points:
1. Climate community: be an inclusive community - bringing Nutrition won’t dilute your message
2. GAINers and partners: don’t be complacent! Work harder to include that climate lense

[Deviana W Dewi @DevianaWDewi]

Tested this assumption to my Advisor for whom I am TA-ing and he confirmed: “I suspect that’s accurate. Strong papers are easy to get through. Poor papers require a lot of work to detect what people are getting at (if anything at all).”

*I feel seen

There may be a link between time spent on grading papers and the paper quality? As a Teaching Assistant, I feel a sense of happiness when reading & grading a good paper! But confusing papers frustrated me, for they consume my time more. #PhDLife

We can’t control what other people do to us, but we can control our own heart to ensure it’s not bitter.
A wounded heart > a bitter heart.

If we can’t measure it, we can’t improve it. Global diet quality monitoring with tools & data was once elusive, but is now feasible! 🎉 The Diet Quality Questionnaire takes ~5 mins to implement & shows 2/3 of world’s population. Indicators available at: https://t.co/4qVBJMBGU4

[Ty Beal @TyBealPhD]

🥳 Out now! Measuring What the World Eats from the Global Diet Quality Project. Diet quality data from 40+ countries on dietary diversity, fruits, vegetables, pulses, nuts, seeds, whole grains, red meat, processed meat, fish, ultraprocessed foods and more!

A guy asked me: Why is there no term "womansplaining"?
I said: See the broader context. #Mansplaining entails power imbalance between men & women. Sure women can give unsolicited explanation & be condescending too. But there's no history when women had the voice and men did not.

Never felt stressed about cooking until tonight: how to make typical Indonesian fried rice without even frying? My dear friend is 75; vegetarian; doesn’t consume cooking oil. Let the adventure begin tomorrow. Hope not to give nasi goreng a bad name in the US @allisonmeir 🙏🏽
