The missing men are from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras & Mexico, and live in Dundalk & Highlandtown. They are in their 30s and 40s, he said, w spouses & children. All of them came to the city for a better life. “They are all hard-working, humble men"

The intersectionality of disability and gender are a critical illustration of how we can leverage #GlobalHealth work toward #UHC Humans are not one dimensional! Too often women are reduced to gender. Excellent discussion with @snagesh2 @womeninGH & @EmoryCSHH today!

I grew up in a ballet company kinda like Fame. Endless practice, and I wasn't a star dancer. So why did I keep going? Bc it was magical to be a tiny part of something beautiful. That's also why I'm in #GlobalHealth We need less 🌟 power and more #co -design

Underbelly was written as an act of love for my Guatemalan friends and as an act of optimism for global health. The arc of the universe will not bend toward justice unless we make it so.

Driving home from the pool just now, my 11 yo and his best friend were casually discussing best strategies in case of a school shooter. My litt Brit, growing up USian. If you need me, I'll be quietly sobbing in the bathroom. It doesn't have to be like this.

I wanted Underbelly the book to represent a way out of the 'underbelly' of global health, that dark place where power asymmetries are swept away. Underbelly is open-access (with Spanish OA edition coming soon!). All author proceeds go to @wuqukawoq

Underbelly

An unsettling exploration of the hidden power dynamics of global health, seen through the lens of childhood diarrhea and its treatment within the Guatemalan ...

Looking at global health grant review comments. There are nice comments about my abilities. Yep, I can do the work. But there are critical comments on colleagues FROM PROJECT LOCATION WHO CAN 💯 DO THE WORK! We're not decolonizing funding. What to do? #globalhealth @paimadhu

Though the book, I argue that global health programs, conceived in offices distant from the places in which they are delivered, often have unintended consequences and contribute to pluralistic and exclusionary health systems that mirror neoliberal economies.

I'm wrapping edits on Underbelly, an ethnography of global health 15 years in the making. I just met with an amazing Guatemalan colleague who's reading through the Spanish draft. I was SO nervous. She loves it and agreed for it to be our book. She's writing the foreword! 😭😊

The underfunding of social science research in health has been deeply shortsighted. However, I'm seeing lots of takes on this that seem to assume that with more social science, we could just get people to do what we want. No. Medical anthropologist saying no to coercion.

What could NIH have done differently during the pandemic? Dr. Francis Collins to @JudyWoodruff : "Maybe we underinvested in research on human behavior. I never imagined a year ago ... that we would still have 60 million people" not get vaccinated.

I just dropped off my two littles for their first (ever for the youngest) day of school. I've home schooled since the start of the pandemic with hopes of being in a better place now. I'm terrified. For my babies, our community, and our world of inequitable access. #WhyIVax
