The value of vaccines. Diphtheria spreading in West Africa: Nigeria reported ~42,000 cases & 1,270+ deaths (May '22-Feb '25). Low vaccination, resistance to penicillin (often due to self treatment) complicates care, requiring IV antibiotics. Hard work goes into to vaccinating hardest-to-reach groups

The variance in life expectancy from state to state in the US is wild. Glad this is being researched so we can work to pass policies to enable better outcomes for all Americans! www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Domestic violence and maternal mortality are rising. The NIH just defunded a project to study both.
A lead researcher thinks the $400,000 grant was canceled because the project had “equity” in its title.
