A new rhythm, thinking bigger... (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Over the next few months, I’ll be mixing things up here. Some posts on emerging global health science/research, (esp around AI). Some on where global health goes next. And some more creative, less obviously professional writing that I’m finally letting out into the world. Watch the video here for more on that…Cape Town was spectacular, by the way.
