A team of our students are testing their knowledge on #UniversityChallenge, in an episode you can watch on 31 July.
The team pit their wits against Birkbeck, University of London. Good luck to the team 🤞 https://t.co/2ELarzJpbP
On Tuesday next, 28th Feb, it's 150 years since GA Hansen wrote in his lab journal he had observed rod shaped organisms - the leprosy bacillus - in tissue samples from a patient. Uni of Bergen is hosting a live webcast at 12:00 UTC - register here: https://t.co/KSua0W6Oif
Speakers include global health diplomats and politicians, patients and activists, legal and medical experts, archivists and historians - all details on the website. Also check out the secret museum tour at https://t.co/UzEkNJGyPq which works really well on a phone.
@HPS_Vanessa Ticktick? I use it to manage a bunch of repeating, sporadic, and intermittent tasks (including postponements) and I've been able to keep it away from other calendars/email.
Photos shared from the Promise of #multispeciesjustice exhibition at #ESOCITE4S22 - nice to see my Feasting prints in conversation with other pieces. [accompanying video at https://t.co/7ZPdQVAZRE (Spanish captions) or https://t.co/twvgLrgy54 (English)]
It was a good last article to be involved in, and a pleasure to work with Martin @LSHTMhistory . I'm in London today for his inaugural lecture (which is also webcast at https://t.co/utEbbJtJH0 ) - congratulations!
An account of WHO African Regional Office capacity and approach to 'health service strengthening', 1950s through mid 1980s, by Martin Gorsky and me, free to read in pre-proof at https://t.co/2MyjZmBKdZ - thanks Ruth Prince, Vicky Muinde, and @janinakehr SSM special issue editors
Global health looks very different when the material dimensions of operational difficulties and colonial legacies are insistently to the fore. As do distinctions between horizontal and vertical interventions. We do some of the maths and follow some of the stories.
@HPS_Vanessa I know what you mean, and I have to admit I haven't felt like talking about it. The one thing that opened up the space in my head for figuring out next steps was very deliberately going down to a 0.6 contract and doing other stuff (*any* other stuff). Not an option for everyone.
This report is a testament to @Lili_Assaba and her unswerving attention to painful details buried in archives at LSHTM. As a colonial institution, LSHTM encouraged and rewarded extractive logics - careers and the School were built on colonial accumulation https://t.co/CGKNYvJlBD
This makes me happy. Harcourt Whyte's music in print and part of Prof. Achinivu's lifelong project coming to fruition. Kudos to all involved! #histmed#Leprosy#medhums https://t.co/R7yRF5wFqJ
@JustinD_902@mendenhall_em@bossedna1@mish_nkhata@AnthroAMR Even though I've not got my hands on it yet, I know that https://t.co/a515f8CMat by @dr_mmika covers some of the ground you're looking for. Also Joseph Balogun https://t.co/zH2ZUudd3o will have lots of food for thought. Expensive Routledge edition though.
