Dr. Dilip Mahalanabis was a pioneer. His work to treat diarrheal disease amid a humanitarian crisis & invention of oral rehydration therapy helped save 54M lives in the past 50 yrs. Although I didn't get to meet him in person, he will be missed greatly. https://t.co/YeADG3kGw4

SPH alum Barbara Ferrer of @lapublichealth: "Vaccines are not an equalizer."
