Massive cred in Nature (!) to the "Scandinavian model" of strengthening research capacity in Africa with split-site (or sandwich-) PhD programmes! @CihUib

It has been a long time coming! But today we launched the site initiation visit for the #DRCPAP trial. Our pilot trial will evaluate the feasibility & acceptability of the study design to evaluate the impact on prophylactic CPAP in the delivery room for VLBW infants 👶🏾 🫁👏🏼

Nonsense, hogwash, BS – whatever you call it, please join us in calling out #GHBS – the excessive use of misleading spin, hyperbole, buzzwords, and technocratic jargon in #globalhealth discourse. With @felixundstein & @AdeBengyP @bmj_latest https://t.co/9GrHprr4FO

[Abid Raja @abidraja]

Nå har studentene ved @UiB under ledelsen av @HaukomAksel også vedtatt at Ola Borten Moe er persona non grata. Skal ha ta alvoret inn over seg, tre til side, eller kaller han også disse studentene pubertale? Noen voksne må jo være hjemme i regjeringen til @jonasgahrstore?
