The floods in Kampala-Uganda are not just water on the streets..they are the beginning of a chain reaction. What looks like a single event is, in truth, a ripple that moves through lives, systems, and futures. It begins with the rain, heavier now, less predictable. But when it meets blocked drainage, plastic waste, and reclaimed wetlands, it has nowhere to go. So it rises..into roads, into homes, into the fragile spaces where people are already trying to survive. From there, the impact trickles down into livelihoods. A market vendor loses a day’s income. A boda rider cannot move. A small shop floods, and goods are destroyed. What seems like “just one day of rain” becomes a week of financial instability for families already living on the edge. Then it reaches health. Stagnant water becomes a breeding ground for disease...malaria, cholera, typhoid. Clinics begin to fill. Children miss school. The body carries what the environment has absorbed, and slowly, the cost becomes human. It does not stop there. Infrastructure weakens....roads break down, transport is disrupted, productivity slows. The city loses time, and time, in an economy like ours, is survival. What starts as environmental neglect becomes economic strain. And at the very bottom of this chain are the most vulnerable. Those in informal settlements, those with the least protection, those who cannot rebuild easily. For them, the flood is not temporary...it is a setback that can take years to recover from. This is the true nature of the crisis: environmental damage does not stay in the environment. It trickles down...into pockets, into bodies, into futures. And until we address the root, the water will keep rising, and the cost will keep deepening.

🎓 It is done! 🔥 Congratulations Dr Ritah Kiconco!👏🎉

"Make AI a part of your daily activities or you will become extinct like dinosaurs 🦕 !" These are the 🔑 words that have echoed in my mind as I wrap my head around the multiple conversations I had with my friend and great collaborator @acattamanchi @ucsf @UCIrvine earlier this week, as we reviewed our capacity building program and interacted with PhD scholars on the @Fogarty_NIH funded @Mak_ims program @MakCHS_SOM @Makerere, and reviewed our ongoing research @MJAPUg @IDRC_Uganda. The message is clear. We need to spend time learning , using and teaching our trainees and research staff on responsible use of AI. Talk about learning as you go! youtube.com/watch?v=2ghhiP…
