Medical consensus supports gender-affirmative care. But mainstream publications treat what should be understood as a fundamental human rights battle more like a semantic debate, resulting in stories that undermine the experts & endanger trans lives. https://t.co/5BT0kBC2cC
Currently available contraceptive products may not work for everyone. Excited about @jhpiego & @fhi360's #ICFP2022 segment on 11/15 about how we develop and scale-up contraceptive innovations to help meet everyone's needs. @AmesMack@draisha_fatima

Everyone, everywhere should be able to choose if and when they become pregnant. So pleased to work with @gatharin, @ReproHealthMeg, and the rest of the fab team at @jhpiego to launch our new #familyplanning strategy and help make this a reality: https://t.co/NjZKjS4QKV
Thank you to @annsearight, @yewande_o, and @enodine from @RealGoodCenter for presenting two great sessions on the science of communications and story building at our @Jhpiego Comms Retreat this week. You’ve left us all with much to think about!
As public health communicators, we are constantly sifting through science and data in order to talk about the work we do. But we can also *turn to science* to help us #tellbetterstories and enact change.
Thrilled to write about a Nigerian social media campaign, VALOR, that used human-centered design, social media, and virtual outreach workers to improve men's entry into the HIV cascade. Check out the great work from this @Jhpiego-run project! @ManyaDotson https://t.co/3RGrIJPp4Y
Our team in Pakistan is doing really excellent work on infection prevention and control in hospitals, thx to @CDCgov funding. Read more in one of my latest for @Jhpiego 👇
Infection prevention & control (IPC) is the underpinning of an effective health security system. In Pakistan, a @CDCgov-funded program run by Jhpiego is working to improve #IPC measures in a group of public hospitals. (🧵1/4)

Thrilled to be closing out 2021 by starting a new comms gig at @Jhpiego. Excited and ready to jump into storytelling, digital support, + more for a wonderful org and even more wonderful team. Thanks for the warm welcome so far!
Great point from @WorldOfMythos' @PriyankSMathur at today's @UN@Purpose event on #misinformation that social media literacy should be seen as a "vaccine" for the infodemic. We will never be able to completely eliminate misinformation. Best bet is to try to inoculate against it.
Excellent new piece from @zeynep in @nytopinion on #COVID19 vaccine hesitancy in the US: "Science’s ability to understand our cells and airways cannot save us if we don’t also understand our society and how we can be led astray." https://t.co/8c251Wrp4M
Breaking News: YouTube is banning several prominent anti-vaccine activists as part of an effort to remove all vaccine misinformation from its platform.

Awesome work being done by @YaleSPH, @PublicGoodProj & @UNICEF using digital marketing strategies to figure out how to win over vaccine holdouts. "We should be valuing and investing in public trust as much as we value and invest in vaccines." #VaccinesWork https://t.co/9nJFwNK2c6
I’m excited to share that @PATHtweets has just launched a new strategy that will guide our efforts over the next five years and help us move the global public health sector toward a more equitable and effective model.
