Happy to have co-lead this important research during my postdoctoral fellowship at IHME with Dr. Luisa Flor and Dr. Emmanuela Gakidou. There are striking and persistent differences between men and women when it comes to health. @IHME_UW #GBDstudy @GEH_UCSD @uwevansschool @CSDE_UW

[The Lancet @TheLancet]

Global study in @TheLancetPH reveals stark differences in major causes of disease burden between females and males, underscoring the need for gender-responsive approaches to health. https://t.co/PBg5FdxgmK

@a_peterman Tagging you in this publication I lead at GEH, as this would likely be of interest to you as well!

Just out in The Economic and Labour Relations Review! Using original survey data from Maharashtra, UP & Bihar, we show that women’s work-related agency is a key yet overlooked dimension of economic opportunities. Link to article: https://t.co/aMjeGe3x3U

@ExpediaHelp @ExpediaHelp Please escalate this issue and reach out to us regarding ticket reissue today

[Vedavati Patwardhan @Veda_Pat]

@ExpediaHelp Please reissue the tickets ASAP.

[Vedavati Patwardhan @Veda_Pat]

@ExpediaHelp We are being stonewalled by Expedia. We need tickets reissued for 21 July for Pune-Dubai-Toronto.

[Vedavati Patwardhan @Veda_Pat]

@ExpediaHelp We have ALREADY contacted you but Expedia has a non-committal attitude. We need our tickets reissued immediately for the same itinerary! (PUNE-DXB-Toronto). We have been put through a lot of stress because of Expedia’s lapses.

They had correctly booked him as an 'infant in seat'. They showed up at the airport with all valid documents, only to be told they couldn’t board, causing immense stress, especially with a baby involved.

This analysis from @Veda_Pat used data from the 2021 Global Burden of Disease Study to compare the burden of different diseases in women vs men 📄 https://t.co/aS7qDbZWoL

Is there a good textbook with introductory causal inference material suitable for MPA students? Looking for something similar to the OpenIntro Stats book which covers descriptive statistics and regression analyses in an intuitive and applied fashion.

@a_peterman @poverty_action That’ll be the day, re: roles with power. Most orgs only pay lip service, most roles with power in global health are not just North but White-centric.

@Josh_Merfeld @qatarairways I decided not to travel on @qatarairways again. On my last 14 hr flight from Doha to Seattle, 3 of 8/9 restrooms stopped functioning soon after takeoff off and remained closed, causing long lines for the rest. My seat armrest broke in flight.

[Vedavati Patwardhan @Veda_Pat]

@Josh_Merfeld The lounge at Doha was overcrowded whenever I have tried to go there (unless you’re in the business class one). There’s a terminal at Doha with greenery and a waterfall and open spaces to sit, looks similar to Changi. If you have 12 hours, I’d go spend some time there.

[Vedavati Patwardhan @Veda_Pat]

@KokkaChammam Good to know that worked, I was wondering if you perhaps chose to go via France! Honestly, I was so tired of the effort needed, I just gave up eventually. I would have had to take the 2-hr flight to SFO just for the appointment even if I had managed to get it.

@KokkaChammam @VFSGlobal @ItalyinUK @InsideNatGeo @Ecrs2024 I tried the online booking system for the Italy visa in the San Francisco consulate for FOUR months. Finally I gave up and wrote to the conference organizers to really think about changing their conference location in the future to a country that actually allows people to enter.

[Vedavati Patwardhan @Veda_Pat]

@KokkaChammam @VFSGlobal @ItalyinUK @InsideNatGeo @Ecrs2024 Italy is especially bad this year. I couldn’t get a visa for #IAFFE2024 in Rome, should’ve been there presenting yesterday. I decided to withdraw, felt that trying via another Schengen country was too onerous and insulting.

[Vedavati Patwardhan @Veda_Pat]

@a_peterman That is laudable, one of the few that actually practice what they preach! I am withdrawing from the IAFFE 2024 Rome Conference shortly, have been unable to get an Italian Schengen visa despite trying for months.

[Vedavati Patwardhan @Veda_Pat]

@AlaskaAir Gate agent Gabriela and other gate agents at SeaTac airport were unable to check in my cousin for her flight AS 2096 Sea-Calgary today for *1.5 hours* even though she had all documents! She missed her flight because of your gate agents.

[Vedavati Patwardhan @Veda_Pat]

@sukhadatatke People who are being asked to answer such questions should just spend their money that month going to other countries instead, unless they have compelling family or other situations to visit this one.

Was happy to present our work on social norms and women’s entrepreneurship in India at PAA 2024! @GEH_UCSD @PopAssocAmerica
