We asked Harvard Chan community members to explain their research in 7 words or less. We had so many wonderful responses that we had to share just a few more.

We love to see IID professors Dr. Pardis Sabeti and Dr. Christian Happi’s work resonating with folks across public health in both disease surveillance and education about the mpox outbreak in Sierra Leone. We must work together and support the leaders in Sierra Leone to contain the outbreak.

Grateful to @pardissabeti.bsky.social and Christian Happi for writing about the emerging mpox outbreak in Sierra Leone. A scary but important read.

With nearly all of Harvard Chan School’s direct federal grants terminated, we are relying on philanthropy to power our research and support our educational programs.

I recommend hating tuberculosis. It has fueled me like no other hate that came before.

As the U.S. Government endeavors to make tuberculosis great again, please consider preordering a signed copy of my book about our deadliest infection, its long history, and why in the 75 years since TB became curable, we've allowed over 150,000,000 people to die of the disease. everythingistb.com

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?

How am I feeling? It's summed up in this conversation with @madhupai.bsky.social: "I think hope is the correct response to the miracle of human consciousness. I am concerned (and discouraged) in the face of our historical moment. But I refuse to respond with despair."
