Just published in @EnvSciTech! In this manuscript we try to answer a fundamental question that arose from our work on the MapSan trial: how much feces and fecal sludge does it take to explain the observed quantity of fecal contamination in soils? https://t.co/FdG4wIx6ML

Inexcusable that Anganwadi workers don’t get paid on time. I know a woman in Delhi who has not been paid since January, and is out there on the frontlines every day. If they can’t feed themselves and their families they can’t do their jobs.

I am biased, but I do think the @hygiene_hub resources are just brilliant.

Several times this past few months I've not known the answer to something, searched on it, and found my way to something useful.
