We look forward to receiving many interesting submissions! Come to share with us your insights on
#Societal , #Political , #Ethical , #Equity , #Justice issues around #Biomedicine and/or #PublicHealth !

And it's off: 4th #WHO Fair Pricing Forum. Very much looking forward to many fascinating and important discussions!

Delighted this paper has found its ideal home. We're interrogating the notion of #PublicValue in the evolution of #digitalhealth

I wrote about Silicon Valley's overzealous quasi-religious mix of disruption, acceleration and inevitability in 2020 (available here: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…), but this seems to be taking on a whole new dimension.

Cringing watching myself speak, but I hope the message speaks for itself: we need a meaningful, equitable and bindable #PandemicTreaty .
Plus, lovely memories of a great #IGHNx day GlobalHealth.ie and ESTHER.ie

It’s not always easy to describe what it’s like to live with chronic illness. This project encourages participants to capture their lived experience using creative mediums- for example visually (a photo, drawing, collage, etc) or textually (poem, essay, diary entry,etc)

LCAI are delighted to support MISFIRES-ERC creative and collaborative project exploring the lived experiences of chronic illness. Participation is voluntary, and open to anyone living with any chronic illness, regardless of condition or country 🌍

Not good... last-minute pressure to cobble together a compromise usually only helps the powerful (in this case, the US, UK, EU and Switzerland who are still blocking reasonable access and benefit provisions), not those who may truly benefit from a Pandemic Treaty Access to Medicines Ireland

Might be of particular interest to #DigitalHealth #startups ! This research commenced during my MarieSkłodowskaCurie Fellowship at CITRIS UC Berkeley hosted by David Lindeman, PhD and originated in many conversations with Silicon Valley's digital health entrepreneurs & VCs
