The scale of climate-related disaster in Southern Africa is setting in as I've talked with colleagues in the region this week. The latest cyclone is exacerbating the ongoing cholera outbreak & interrupting HIV, TB & malaria programs, just as health systems recover from COVID-19.

Thinking of our Malawian colleagues during this incredibly challenging time. We just donated $5000 to the Rotary Club of Limbe to support the response. Please consider supporting their efforts #CycloneFreddyMalawi

Rachel Sibande🇲🇼 🇿🇦 🇰🇪 Cooper/Smith This is really a great article. Currently, we're working on a project that's directly in line with this... it may take some months to fine-tune the models to provide more accurate information about the Malawian context, but if all goes well, it can have a great impact

Global health, food security, #pepfar - all topics we discuss daily Cooper/Smith were front and center at today’s talk by Secretary Antony Blinken at UT Austin. Hook ‘em horns!
