Views are mine
➡️ Have we lost the momentum of the pandemic to drive investment in global health?
➡️ Have we exhausted ODA as a source for investment?
➡️ Are replenishments still the best way to raise funding?
@BoehmeCatharina puts key questions to participants.

When I think one of my pets may need the vet, I can't help but worry, because the cost of *everything* is so high right now & I'm working 200 hrs/mo just trying to survive. But worry is no excuse for trying to blame the vet for things out of their control

For the past few weeks I've been completely consumed by this investigation. It's probably the most important story I'll ever break and I hope it can be used to bring about meaningful change. Please do read it 👇https://t.co/dzz5fajkmy
“We have persistently misunderstood horse behaviour, and in the process have not only compromised their welfare but also endangered ourselves”

Shocking and angering to see MSF continue to ignore on this. For months, @duckrabbitblog has highlighted how the charity is allowing the sale of photographs of vulnerable patients (including children) who are often identifiable. There is no justification.
It's challenging to talk about suicide in online communities, and we must all be aware of the risks. I would encourage everyone in the vet community to read @RosieAllister's article before posting about suicide. It's now open access thanks to @Vet_Record https://t.co/V9xJf1vF1Z
