More than 9,000 studies, reports, & book chapters published based on 400+ DHS surveys that were conducted in 91 countries, according to our bibliometric analysis (by @aasli.bsky.social). The termination could set the global research community back for years or even decades.

We truly have descended into the absurd, some strange dystopia that I struggle to recognize.
NEW from NBC’s Vaughn Hillyard:
“This week, USAID officials removed the artwork [of the agency’s various global missions] from the walls of USAID offices because…[officials] would be evaluating what appeared on the walls to ensure it aligned with the new administration’s ‘America First’ mission.”

I can't find African Scientists and researchers easily on here. As the second largest continent with 1.3 billion inhabitants our perspectives matter. I'm creating a starterpack to find folks, follow them and amplify them. If you are an African Scientist let me know below so I can add you. Thanks.
