Deeply encouraged by the creative, innovative, rigorous, multi-level research being reported on in this session on ‘Frontiers on climate and health research’ at #HumanitarianHealthResearchForum. Great to see pooling of ideas drawn from Micronesia, South Sudan and arid areas of East Africa.
Was there ever a more important time to gather to consider priorities and strategies for humanitarian health research?
#HumanitarianHealthResearchForum - co-hosted by Elrha and @APHRC - begins in Nairobi tomorrow.

After several weeks of feeling deeply discouraged and unable to post anything of value I am delighted to share a juxtaposition of a few experiences that have helped me cultivate some fragments of optimism.
To Nana and all - happy BIRTHday!
