A Year After U.S.A.I.D.’s Death, Fired Workers Find Few Jobs and Much Loss

"We don't have the luxury of Democrat or Republican public health." Dr. Michael Osterholm on why shutting out an administration means shutting yourself out of the policy conversation. Public health has to work for everyone, regardless of who's leading. @drejoanneliu.bsky.social @madhupai.bsky.social

Measles outbreak means my immunocompromised son can’t leave the house without extreme safety measures Hundreds of thousands of families are making life-or-death decisions as measles continues to spread.

Yes, measles, Covid-19, flu... it does not matter, public health is a shared responsibility - our decisions impact others around us

Students are deeply concerned about the state of the world today and why wouldn't they be?

Is it possible to teach global health without dissecting current realities? And how do we offer them any hope?

Since colonial times, global health has always been more about charity, goodwill, and saviorism, rather than justice, rights, and equity

What could a better model look like?

Who Controls South Africa’s Lenacapavir Rollout? Not South Africa South Africa may build the factories for lenacapavir, but licensing decisions, pricing, and supply remain dependent on Gilead, exposing the limits of sovereignty in global health.

Figure showing number of competitive grants mentioning women from 2015-2025. The number was rising until recently, with a precipitous drop in the last year.

At the end of 2024, the National Academies put out a report concluding the NIH has woefully underfunded women’s health research, and they suggested $15 B should be invested over the next 5 years.

Here’s what’s happened instead. Hard to study women’s health if you can’t say “women.”

TB, power, and the political economy of neglect The cure exists. The evidence exists. What is missing is the political commitment to treat TB as the development crisis it is.

Today is #WorldLiverDay! 🩺

Hepatitis C (HCV) can lead to liver cancer if untreated, yet 95%-effective cures (DAAs) exist. The problem isn't science. It's access.
