Addiction, Mental Health and Cog Neuroscience in Africa

[Khary Rigg @krigg01]

Opioid deaths involving polydrug use are now more prevalent than those involving only opioids. What often goes unnoticed is that deaths involving more than 1 substance are increasing faster among Black Americans. That was the impetus for our latest study https://t.co/5JLfpuKcsM

@marcelo_aizen That is if they even past the other barrier of their research/paper being deemed worthy or relevant to the Global North.

[Marcelo Aizen @marcelo_aizen]

Most scientists from the Global South are not able to afford Open Access (OA). An OA article can equal 3 or 4 of our monthly salaries or the full yearly amount of one of our grants. This discriminatory situation creates a double-standard in science dissemination.

Coronavirus rates have rocketed in recent weeks, as the virus has reached its highest ever level in the UK since the start of the pandemic.

Across the capital, one in every 13 Londoners - or 7.7% of the city - is infected with Covid-19, according to @ONS data as of March 23.
