Humans Are Wonderfully Varied. Scholars Shouldn’t Let the Government Say Otherwise. - Science Politics Academics have a responsibility to speak up when misrepresented scientific work about race, sex, and gender shapes policy.

Agustin Fuentes's article in @sciencepolitics.bsky.social argues that "It’s time for us to stand up and speak out. We must take overt action against the misrepresentation of data, analyses, and understandings that academics work so hard to produce."

Must-read BMJ editorial by @jocalynclark.bsky.social www.bmj.com/content/392/... "Peace, come closer." On the urgent need for "a critical debate about the role and influence of powerful financiers in global health, especially now as traditional sources of support dwindle."

Global Health Financing Needs a Reset Bertrand Badré & Johanna Benesty propose ways to rethink aid, as dependence on a handful of budget-cutting donors threatens hard-won gains.

Global Health Financing Needs a Reset by Bertrand Badré, et al @projectsyndicate.bsky.social prosyn.org/EuI6yhs Co-authored by the Boston Consulting group. So I'm guessing the 'powers that be' will pay attention. And @felixundstein.bsky.social :)

Those of us who have tried to research public-private partnerships will, I suspect, read these words by @davidallengreen.bsky.social and say Amen
