Powerful testimony from some of the descendants of men enrolled in the infamous #TuskegeeSyphilisStudy , in which Black men were promised treatment for their syphilis symptoms but were simply studied as those symptoms progressed. These family members want to stress that it's not correct to compare the #COVID19 vaccine development and distribution process to the Tuskegee study. Rather, they almost see it as a way to redress past injustices....if the vaccine is equally accessible to all.

For #FlashbackFriday , remembering being welcomed like the Prodigal Daughter returned at the Journalism and Women Symposium (JAWS) Fall Camp in Hot Springs, Arkansas back in 2017. I'm a past #JAWS Past President, but in 2017 I had spent nearly a decade in East Africa. It had been even longer since I'd attended this annual gathering of #womenjournalists . I was struggling to find my footing back in the American journalism scene, and wondered how I'd be received as I tried to re-enter the fold. That weekend ignited my heart and put me back on the path to owning my expertise. That's because women like Betsy Wade believed in me and supported me. They knew I would find my way, even before I did. #womensleadership #womenleaders #womenempowerment #womensupportingwomen #womenempowerment …see more

UNICEF ’s “State Of The World's Children" report was released today, and this year's theme is "Children, Food and Nutrition." I'm happy to see this focus. Too often, we only think of childhood and global nutrition combined in terms of hunger and stunting, which are still serious problems. But we need a more holistic view of the role of food in our children's lives. Kids in the world's richest countries may have access to plenty of food, but how much of it is processed and of little nutritional value? Food should be fuel for healthy development, but too much of the wrong stuff can be as bad as too little food. We have to do better by the world's children. #globalhealth #childdevelopment #UNICEF #StateOfTheWorldsChildren #nutrition #hunger #childhunger #childhoodobesity …see more

The University of Southern California Center for Religion and Civic Culture is embarking on an ambitious project to tell 100 stories of exemplary individuals inspired by their #spirituality to engage in #humanitarian work. With funding from the John Templeton Foundation and the Templeton Religion Trust , the “Spiritual Exemplars: A Global Project on Engaged Spirituality” project will bring together a team of #researchers and #journalists to create written and #multimedia profiles. CRCC aims to create a new field of study around "spiritual exemplars" and extend a conversation about engaged spirituality into the public sphere. Do you know someone in your community whose works give a powerful testimony to their faith? If you're a #journalist , apply to write about these "spiritual exemplars. If you'd like to nominate someone, you can do that as well, through the link below. #religion #inspiration #inspirationalleader #humanitarianassistance #faithbased …see more

If I'm honest, I've never given too much thought about which #scientist or #researcher first identified the #climatechange phenomenon. But learning that it was a woman named Eunice Foote--and that she made the discovery in 1848, shortly after co-organizing the first ever women's rights conference in Seneca Falls, NY--has actually just blown my mind. That's why I'm sharing this essay by journalist Laurie Garrett . It's a terrific analysis of how #genderbias hampers women in the realm of science and research. Specifically, as it pertains to #WomenInSTEM , the evidence is absolutely jaw-dropping. The systematic exclusion, collusion and co-opting of women's work is stifling women world-wide, and ultimately hampering innovation and development. That they continue to excel in spite of the barriers is an incredible testament to the human spirit #Gender #science #technology #engineering #mathematics #medicine #globaldevelopment #SDGs …see more
