@a_peterman Wow. Sorry to hear this.

[Sarah Dickin @sarahdickin]

@seyeabimbola Thanks for highlighting this. Will be useful example for teaching at least

[Sarah Dickin @sarahdickin]

@ryancbriggs It sounds interesting. Their attitude of 'we'll do what we want' seems a little worrying

[Sarah Dickin @sarahdickin]

@ryancbriggs It is intriguing, but light on the experimental methods :)

@carmenlogie @SSHRC_CRSH @UofT_FIFSW @UNUINWEH Thanks! I'm submitting a seed grant, will follow up if we are successful :)

@charlesjkenny Listening - this perspective is often forgotten (not just in relation to climate).

Btw @charlesjkenny , the link to 'top priorities' is broken

@PH2E_UVic @abishek_water This is a great piece, thanks for sharing. I can't help but thinking equity within this transition should be more than an 'optimization factor' however and could a co-benefit as well

[Sarah Dickin @sarahdickin]

@mzwarteveen Congratulations, looks amazing!

[Sarah Dickin @sarahdickin]

@AndersJagerskog @ciwaprogram @WorldBankAfrica @WorldBankWater @BoutheinaGuerm1 @VictoriaKwakwa This sounds very interesting and promising!

@paimadhu Thanks for this! This is the case in Swedish academia. Furthermore, faculty are immediately affected by the whims of government, as we have seen now when the right wing government in Sweden removed all dedicated research funding for global health and development

@SaraCausev @GlobalHealthBMJ @AllianceHPSR @rasanathan @ottersenolep @Stockholm_Uni Looks great Sara, very relevant to our students at Swedesd

Swedish development assistance (and research) "crashing like a house of cards"

[OECD Development @OECDdev]

"It is a fact that inequality undermines all aspects of successful development. We know more equal societies grow faster; reduce poverty more quickly; and are happier, healthier, safer and less politically polarised."

This is a positive step. At the same time, Sweden has stopped all dedicated research funding for global health and development, which is also critical to prevent and manage disease outbreaks (Refresher - https://t.co/behRwCdxjP) #GlobalHealth #Mpox

[Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs @SweMFA]

Through core support, Sweden is providing more than SEK 1.3 billion to @WHO, @gavi , @UNICEF and other actors.

These international health actors are now placing a major focus on acting within the @WHO-led mpox response.

[Sarah Dickin @sarahdickin]

A great list focused on global health, but relevant to many more disciplines. Thinking of geography, this may require starting new conferences, as the largest ones are held only in the US or UK (AAG,RGS-IBG ) to my knowledge. Any large African geography conferences?

@abishek_water ERC is supposed to have very high quality reviews so it's odd
