Quick poll - find getting feedback from my network interesting. We all see the excitement around GenAI, but is this the most exciting thing in the health sector / your focus…? https://t.co/rj6h6D2mU6

Some aggregate observations from my recent round of health conferences: tough market climate, cost-cutting and VC investment down; shocks within the sector and big health startups failing or pivoting. https://t.co/k5U2BUObZQ

It's official, am in mid-30s! Celebrated my 35th last week with a chill trip to reflect. The most important things to me have been... https://t.co/0Ai407TURr Also for jokes, my original reach52 headshot, mid-points and current... The journey has not been kind, but it's been fun!

US has set up the Bureau of Global Health Security and Diplomacy. The fact that a new government department is set up specifically for this function shows how important it is, especially if it’s at the ‘forefront of foreign policy’ https://t.co/gG7xPga41G

US foreign aid should go to innovative solutions that save lives & transform communities.
