  • Fact checking, misinformation, wildfires, and institutional memory
    Jan 16 2025

    Richard, Gavin, and Jessamy return to the studio for another freeform discussion kicking off with the responsibilities of science and scientific publishing in a time where fact checking and moderation are going out of fashion. We also cover climate change in the US with the recent wildfires, and the importance of retaining institutional memory following traumatic experiences after Richard was particularly struck by a recent trip to Argentina.

  • Power and allyship in the Global North and Global South
    Jan 9 2025

    Where does power lie in global health? What are the historical and systemic barriers that perpetuate inequities, and what is the impact of political shifts towards nationalism?

    Catherine Kyobutungi and Madhukar Pai join Gavin to talk about their recent Comment published in The Lancet, "Shifting power in global health will require leadership by the Global South and allyship by the Global North". Join us to learn about the challenges and opportunities for Global South leadership and the importance of redefining knowledge, success, and problem identification in global health.
