So pleased to highlight some of the many successes of the $8.7M @PEERSS_Global partnership, co-funded by @Hewlett_Found and @IDRC_CRDI! Special thanks to our grantees who agreed to be interviewed for this Research In Action article.

@mattrbo Liz, Larry, and Joe just got shivers up their spines, wherever they are

[Leah Watson @leahkwatson]

"To fully understand maternal mortality and infant mortality crises for Black women and babies, the nation must first reckon with the dark history of how gynecology began." A scandalous #publichealth crisis described in a new @AP project.

We're discovering new links between #health and #environment every day. This #JAMA study from the now-infamous #CampLejeune is hot off the press.

We are certainly due for a shakeup in the academic publishing world. Thanks @DrSam_Oti for sharing!

Forty books may not seem like a ton but it feels like an accomplishment! I learned a lot from these books this year - ask me for recommendations :) https://t.co/ys1SU9DAwQ

[Leah Watson @leahkwatson]

Know any master's students who want some #globalhealth experience? IDRC is hiring summer students! I wish I had known about these opportunities back when I was in grad school. Come work with me :) https://t.co/gALpp2gsrp

[Leah Watson @leahkwatson]

Thanks to my colleague @DrSam_Oti for unpacking the term #decolonization and what we are (or should be) talking about when we use it - it can't become an empty #globalhealth buzzword.

[Leah Watson @leahkwatson]

This issue keeps coming up in #globalhealth (and elsewhere) as conferences have begun to resume in-person activities. We must all be responsible for advocating for our #GlobalSouth colleagues who deserve to be represented in-person too. https://t.co/7kzhlmw04f

[Leah Watson @leahkwatson]

Very cool open call for proposals from one of our @IDRC_CRDI #globalhealth grantees - aim is to look at how responsible #AI solutions can improve #publichealth preparedness and response in the Global South. Apply here! https://t.co/oA4IycmPPB

[Leah Watson @leahkwatson]

@Sujata_bbm @CAGH_ACSM @IDRC_CRDI I'd love that! Will you be there all three days? I'll keep an eye out for you and we should connect over coffee or something ☕️

[Leah Watson @leahkwatson]

Looking forward to attending #CCGH2022 @CAGH_ACSM with some of my @IDRC_CRDI colleagues next week - we're launching two incredible research initiatives, Women RISE and COHRIE. More info in thread. #globalhealth #OneHealth
