Great initiative by @BRACUniversity to provide the first digital map of export-oriented ready-made #garment factories and their buyers across the Dhaka district. What an important milestone towards a more transparent and accountable #RMG sector: https://t.co/BdmZ6o8Gre

Enjoy our virtual performance 🎻

[McKinsey & Company @McKinsey]

The annual McKinsey Music Festival came early this year... and had to be done a lot differently. Typically, held in Austria, the event brings together the Firm's musicians. This year, 132 colleagues sang and played their hearts out virtually across 60 cities worldwide. Enjoy!

Interesting discussion about the need for binding agreements between labor organisations and brands to engage in cost sharing of social protection systems. "Clothes will be more expensive and production lower, but it's a good thing -- and long overdue!" @ihrb @UCBerkeley

My 4 stages of Covid till now:
1. I won't be affected
2. I have to cancel my research stay at Stanford U
3. I have to stop my PhD fieldwork
4. My 90-year old grandma in a care home is positively tested
Take-away: Stay positive during the current stage (next one might be worse!)

The livelihoods of 4.1 million Bangladeshi garment workers are now on the line, as orders of Western retailers slammed to a halt. "Workers are the responsibility of brands as well." -- Food for thought about the cascading effects of retail shutdowns on global value chains

[The New York Times @nytimes]

The coronavirus is potentially disastrous for low-wage workers who power the global clothing trade. Factory owners face financial ruin, while the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people hang in the balance. https://t.co/1VSACmDV1B

During a pandemic, Isaac Newton had to work from home. An apple falling from a tree in his garden inspired his understanding of gravity and motion. Not a bad outcome for remote working! A reminder that out of adversity, opportunities may arise. Hoping for many Newton moments🤞

This is a bit more technical than my travel post, but here is my most recent research paper on #COVID19. Among other things, we find that people (in the US) are generally bad at grasping the explosiveness of COVID19’s spread.

My partner and I traveled from London Heathrow to Beijing yesterday. Given the current #COVID19 situation, I thought that I would share my experience of what traveling to China is like at the moment (it might be a preview of what could come to Europe). 1/n

So sad to have stopped all interventions for my PhD in Bangladeshi garment factories, but interactions must be limited as much as possible. I can't thank my team enough for their endless support. Now we will conduct 1,500 early endline surveys on the phone #fieldworkfromhome
