Young children are more biologically sensitive to most adverse exposures than adolescents and adults, and anything we do to protect children during that time is likely to have significant positive effects on development: https://t.co/DXE54QDyn4

The Tallest Man in Public Health
Dr. William H. Foege (1936–2026) — architect of smallpox eradication, pioneer of ring vaccination, former CDC Director, and lifelong champion of childhood immunization — has passed away.

He reminded us that “all public health is global health” and that our duty is to be good ancestors.

Millions live because he acted. 🌍

Public spaces to play are a core right for children, yet urbanization is shrinking access.

@WHO @UNICEF & @UNHABITAT offer a guide to design safe, inclusive play spaces for all children, even in crisis or informal settings.

Kicked off Day 1 of the #RealistResearchBlendedCourse (Face-to-Face Phase) at @iimb_official

The recap session explored whether research can ever be neutral, emphasizing that every method is grounded in its own philosophical roots. It revisited the philosophical foundations of realist research, highlighting realism as a bridge between the real world and the interpreted world. The session also underscored that people remain the driving force behind any programme.

Dr. Prashanth N. S. led a session on concepts and terminology that explored how programmes and policies are ideas shaped by underlying assumptions and contextual factors. It also featured an interactive illustration, where participants contributed a policy or programme idea and collectively unpacked its assumptions and contextual elements.

Dr. Pragati Hebbar used a variety of examples to explain how programme theories are developed, emphasizing the ontological layers. She also discussed why it is important to construct Initial Programme Theories (IPTs) and the different levels of programme theory. Although many possible programme theories exist, she pointed out that time and resource constraints force us to select only a few to address specific parts of the larger picture.

Finally, Prof. Sara Van Belle unpacked CMO (Context-Mechanism-Outcome) configurations, discussed different approaches to causalityand generative causation, introduced alternative frameworks such as CIMO (Context-Intervention-Mechanism-Outcome) and ICAMO (Intervention-Context-Actor-Mechanism-Outcome), and explained its use for data analysis in realist research.
