A great profile on Emma, my (soon-to-be-former) PhD student who successfully defended her OR Center thesis this week. Nicely captures her exceptional devotion to improving healthcare delivery in resource-limited settings!

In a final little remnant of my PhD we explore interactions between individual and contextual factors in resilience. Thanks to Kari, Espen Røysamb, & Annika for their wonderful contributions (and patience)!🙏🥳 Universitetet i Oslo UiO - Psykologisk Institutt TheJCPPadvances acamh.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jc…

An algorithm promises to improve transportation of clinical samples to the people of Malawi—and it just got an $100K grant from Gates Foundation. mitsloan.co/2DadTEl

We found ways to shorten the turnaround time for diagnosing babies with HIV bit.ly/2rgJ1QU

Professor Jónasson will use a $100,000 grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to develop a more cost-effective and efficient system for transporting clinical samples in low-resource settings in Africa. mitsloan.mit.edu/newsroom/artic…
