My first paper at Development Data Lab came out last week! 🥳 Infection fatality rates from COVID-19 in India are likely as high as in richer countries. Under-reporting of deaths creates huge uncertainty within India and across countries.

Ah! The modern woman of India, source of all problems.
If only women would marry and stay at home we would solve unemployment, poverty, petrol and LPG prices, lack of hospital beds, potholed roads, electricity shortage, crime and hunger.

Don't confuse being a fast talker with being a deep thinker. Speaking quickly signals confidence, not complexity.

Don't mistake volume for expertise. Speaking loudly reflects conviction, not credibility.

Sometimes the best ideas come from the least assertive voice in the room.

Why is hard to comprehend that disaggregating health data by sex is not about inclusion, motherhood & apple pie, but about rigorous science period! We don’t want to include women in science based on male standards, we want to change the standard! @genderhealthhub @Gender_COVID19
