π‘What struck Josh most was how connected Japan is in global health. From PhD students from Vietnam, Kenya, and the DRC to collaborations across the Global South and North, these ties show why different perspectives matter.

π ClimED links climate and health data using large-scale surveillance, including high-income countries. Plan-EO focuses on specific pathogens in LMICs. Together these views give a fuller picture of diarrheal disease.

π§ In 2019, unsafe WASH caused over 1M child deaths, including 69% of diarrheal deaths worldwide according to @who.int. @planeoproject.bsky.social is building a dashboard under @jmcolston.bsky.social leadership linking climate + child health to guide solutions.

π Coming soon: Plan-EOβs child health data dashboard led by @jmcolston.bsky.social !
One place for global data + insights to accelerate progress against diarrheal disease. Not live yet, but close! Stay tuned π

Weβre excited to be on Bluesky and share our research!
Our Plan-EO protocol shows how our dashboard will map child diarrheal pathogens, climate & sanitation risks in LMICs.
Dashboard launching soon! For now, read the protocol linked hereπ
