Before her (too early) death, the amazing Sharon Begley wrote this piece on double helix co-discoverer James Watson and the racist and sexist pronouncements he seemed to revel in making in later life. Fascinating read about a troubling individual.

In Bulape, DRC🇨🇩, Jean, a patient recovering from #Ebola, cared for an 11-month-old baby who was also infected and had lost his mother to the disease. He cuddled the baby when he cried, changed him, and fed him, as guided by the medical team, while they both recovered.

I am putting this up here in light of Edwin Chiloba's brutal murder. Murder is near the top of the pyramid but it happens because of what some of you are doing here daily. Your words and actions fall somewhere on this pyramid. Let people BE!

Some personal news: My documentary “Corporal Trauma” just won the @WHO x @ICFJ Violence Against Children Reporting contest with a cash prize of $1000. A great part of this amount will go to paying school fees for Caleb’s final year in primary school and his medication.
