Today, some of the books that shaped my life—and the lives of so many others—are being challenged by people who disagree with certain ideas or perspectives. And librarians are on the front lines, fighting every day to make the widest possible range of viewpoints, opinions, and ideas available to everyone.

[McGill Perspectives on Global Health @GHPerspectives]

We have brought all the creativity, compassion, anger, and vulnerability of @mcgillu students reflecting on what makes them mad about #globalhealth, together - into a hub! Read the poems, opinions, check the art and infographics. #COVID19 #VaccineEquity https://t.co/3v37xzzgfC

Wearing good quality, well fitting masks, ensuring good ventilation if indoors, maintaining distance & being vaccinated are the best ways to protect against this airborne virus. #OmicronVariant is very transmissible & we all need to be extra careful now @DrTedros @PeterASinger

[Lekha Puri, MScPH @LekhaPuri]

YES. Wholeheartedly agree with @desmondtanko & sharing these points to those who want to enter #globalhealth @paimadhu. What a reality check for so much of the work I see.. and also a wow I have made mistakes that I can reflect on. Wish I’d had these conversations earlier!

Recently, I have been involved in global health discussions on country ownership of their public health response. Here are some of the lessons I have learned in my 20 yrs of country support.

If you like the fact that both COVID testing and COVID vaccination is 100% free for everyone living in the United States you might just love universal health coverage.

Washington, DC has more residents than Wyoming or Vermont. They pay federal taxes. But they don’t have equal representation or full control over their local laws & National Guard. I’m glad to once again cosponsor the DC statehood bill. Let's get this done. https://t.co/EcZC0hEcBU

Careful out there!

As a South Asian 👩🏾 in 👦🏼 dominated spaces (radiology and business) who has heard a lot of “you can’t”s, the symbolism of today was so empowering.

Regardless of your political leaning, race, or gender, I hope today gave you faith that anything is possible.
