Luke Jerram gave his time and creative flair very generously to a previous project of ours on health in urban informal settlements. His new project looks incredible www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Really happy to be a co-author on this post about creative methods of research communication and how we are operationalising them in ReBUILD in our work on health systems.
Creative methods of communication can allow academics to connect with the evidence and their experiences working on global health in new and unexpected ways.

Why stories are made, not just told

Trump plans to block funding to groups that promote diversity policies abroad. It’s a major expansion of the Mexico City Policy, which prevents foreign groups receiving U.S. global health funding from providing or promoting abortion www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

The administration wants to expand a policy that already restricts U.S. funding to foreign groups that promote abortion access.

#r4today Justin loves to talk about “identity issues” linked to the Democratic Party — but never those in the GOP.

White supremacy is also an identity politic.

Structures of dominance are also identity politics. Identity politics are only criticised when minorities complain about discrimination.

Can global health be decolonised without addressing power imbalances? This paper argues it can't. Even the WHO's equity-focused reports perpetuate Euro-American norms. True equity requires challenging global health's assumptions. tinyurl.com/bddna933 #DecoloniseHealth #scicomms

Please do read Kate's new blog on #AMR and how current research only covers the tip of the iceberg.
This new blog dives into how gender, inequality, and power influence vulnerability to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). It's not just about antibiotic misuse; it's a social justice issue. Discover the interconnected roots of AMR.

Disaggregating AMR data by sex, age & other factors is crucial to understanding who is most affected and why. It uncovers inequities and informs effective interventions. With millions at risk, it's urgent to view AMR through an intersectional lens. #PublicHealth #AMR

I don't know who needs to see this, but autistic accommodations include anything that would reduce autistic anxiety.

Examples...

Travel anxiety... asking for a seat with extra room, pre-boarding a flight, asking for a different hotel room if the one you were given triggers you.
