#Webinar "Responding to #HIV in #Humanitarian and Conflict settings." @iasociety.bsky.social C.C. @msfm.us @cla-cor.bsky.social @msfde.bsky.social @unaids.org iasociety.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

"Overall, as the global movement for #LGBTQ+ #rights faces progress and setbacks, a sustained commitment to equity, dignity, and wellbeing is more important than ever." New letter—LGBTQ+ rights and health: a shifting landscape www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

"Investing in #PreventiveVaccination also has the potential to strengthen health systems, allowing countries to better manage #EVD and make resources available for other health prioritieS." #EbolaVirusDisease journals.plos.org/plosmedicine... C.C. @msf.ca @drejoanneliu.bsky.social

"Regardless of style and tactics, everyone in the American #ScientificCommunity must hold to the principles of independence, peer evaluation, and inclusion. These have enabled the country’s success in science and technology." @holdenthorp.bsky.social www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

"The global group of researchers call for better collaboration between academia, government and industry, to ensure safety, accountability and #ethics in the use of #AI in #InfectiousDiseaseResearch." www.ethox.ox.ac.uk/news/global-...

"Entre 2020 y 2024, México recibió más de mil 30 millones de dólares en cooperación de Estados Unidos a través de la #USAID para iniciativas en seguridad, derechos humanos, desarrollo económico y fortalecimiento del estado de derecho." animalpolitico.com/sociedad/sus...

"The silence with which many of us and our institutions are meeting this moment must be challenged" Thank you @jama.com for stating this. The earlier (and some ongoing) silence from academic organizations & institutions prior to the NIH cuts was deafening and disheartening. #standupforscience

In a new Editorial, JAMA editors, JAMA Network Editors in Chief, and JAMA editorial leadership address the recent executive orders that have impacted the scientific process and reaffirm their commitment to scientific and editorial integrity. ja.ma/4b5LsIt

Racial inequity stretches across the entirety of reproductive health. To tackle inequities, we must understand intersectionality and the complex, structural drivers of inequality, writes @dsolomon.bsky.social www.bmj.com/content/388/...

"For #research to serve its purpose of benefitting society, however, it needs to engender something that is as important as it is fragile—trust. Trust in #science is essential for it to effectively inform policy and more fully #benefitsociety." journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

#Lenacapavir #FDA "Such strong data usually bode well for prompt review and approval, but it is unclear how FDA reorganization and staff layoffs under the new presidential administration could affect the timeline." @lizhighleyman.bsky.social www.poz.com/article/gile...

"We need to acknowledge that this is not an isolated oversight but is part of a broader strategy to suppress knowledge that supports marginalized communities. HIV disproportionately affects LGBTQ+ individuals, particularly trans women of color" @plos.org speakingofmedicine.plos.org/2025/02/18/f...

"The abrupt termination of critical #USAID-funded #ClinicalTrials, with insufficient time to safeguard the welfare of people who are participating, is profoundly unethical and utterly inexcusable. Such actions threaten the health and lives of thousands of patients." www.statnews.com/2025/02/16/u...

Resizing the #US @fda.gov would have a hugely harmful impact on the protection of #PublicHealth:

#USA: “Every day that passes is an emergency for millions of people for whom PEPFAR is a lifeline.” 3 weeks after the US government froze PEPFAR funding, uncertainty remains over whether this lifeline for millions of people living with HIV has been cut. www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/uncertainty-...

"Thus, the ultimate impact of an indiscriminate cut in indirect costs will not improve scientific efficiency but rather stifle scientific productivity and erode the US’ global leadership in research." @jama.com C.C. @docdelrio.bsky.social jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

"As the USA fails in allyship, other global north governments may do the same. In a more equitable world, no single country would have so much influence on the health of so many outside its borders. As bad as the crisis is, it presents an opportunity..." #GlobalHealth www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Honored to be in @joycewhitevance.bsky.social newsletter today, explaining what the heck “indirects” are and how NIH funding helps every one of us 🧪🩺🛟 joycevance.substack.com/p/cutting-ca...

"Our #EthicalObligations do not vary according to the whims of politicians. We must forcefully take a stand against these profound violations of our most essential duties to #participants in #HealthResearch." #DeclarationOfHelsinki @martinmckee.bsky.social www.bmj.com/content/388/...

" #SeguridadSanitaria "La Iniciativa de #AméricaDelNorte para la Preparación ante #Pandemias en Animales y Humanos busca fortalecer la bioseguridad en la región, ¿qué retos y desafíos enfrenta?" Talia Haro. lasillarota.com/opinion/colu...

The announcement on exemptions to USAID/PEPFAR suspensions allowing continuation of HIV treatment and care interventions are very much a mirage. On the ground across Africa people living with HIV cannot access their medications. Deaths and new infections grow as we speak. apnews.com/article/hiv-...

#ViewPoint - Race and Ethnicity in Biomedical Research Changing Course and Improving Accountability. @jama.com jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

A record 533 anti-LGBTQ+ bills were introduced in state legislatures in 2024. A #healthpolicy researcher explains how these policies can harm the health of not only LGBTQ+ people, but all Americans: https://buff.ly/418bZRM (Nathaniel Tran, University of Illinois Chicago) #polisky 🩺 #lgbtq

I finally understood what it means for global health to be in the world, but not of it "Distance" is a great way to understand this notion Thanks, Seye www.editions.ird.fr/produit/728/...

Regarding Clinical Trials affected,the sponsors, institutions and PIs have an ethical responsibility toward trial participants and their communities.

"Trump’s executive order on #D.E.I. is having on scientific institutions across the nation, both governmental and private. The crackdown is altering scientific exploration and #ResearchAgendas across a broad swath of fields" www.nytimes.com/2025/02/09/s...

"The expertise that they bring comes from their experiences of living daily with a condition or disease, recovering from an acute emergency, or from dealing with the healthcare system. Those vantage points make them worthy of being on a research team." #ClinicalResearch www.bmj.com/content/388/...

"We are the people we’ve been waiting for. We can sometimes feel that things are all going wrong around us, but we can shape them too – not alone, but with each other [...] As young activists expressed it to me: ‘There is no justice, just us..." Ben Phillips @unaids.org @madhupai.bsky.social

✨ Today, February 7th, is National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day #NBHAAD. Sharing a recent article about why Black cis women make up 50% of new HIV diagnoses among cis women & are 10 times more likely to have an HIV diagnosis than their White counterparts. www.unclosetedmedia.com/p/the-hiv-cr...

#HumanRight "The point here is not to pit brain health against mental health as though they were somehow competing, but rather to argue that the reasons for promoting mental health as a specific right are equally applicable to #BrainHealth." Timothy Daly www.ibroneuroscience.org/article/S030...

#HIV "Although #PEPFAR is funded by the State Department, roughly two-thirds of its grants are implemented through U.S.A.I.D. and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Neither organization has released funds to grantees since the freeze was initiated." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/h...
