UN reforms: Budget cuts and dramatic restructuring aren’t going to cut it. The aid sector needs to understand its economic inefficiency problem.

We’ve just published our latest work on bioRxiv!
In this study, we present a methodology to estimate inadequate micronutrient intake - a key driver of malnutrition -using food consumption data, socio-economic indicators, and climate variables.

On the tragic shutdown of USAID humanitarian data streams:
"Humanitarian data loss is just one part of a broader information collapse threatened by the US retreat from its global leadership role, but its consequences are immediate and deadly."

The data streams that underpin humanitarian response are about to collapse
Famine warning, needs assessments, health data: Humanitarian action will be groping in the dark if vital data sources are allowed to crumble.

John Jumper’s Nobel lecture is amazing. A great reminder to us practioners on how much pain and failure is behind even the most extraordinary breakthroughs and how many brilliant minds it takes to build every inch of truth. Scientific progress is a painful collective effort ! youtu.be/qX1aYUckvnY
