James O'Donovan

Grateful to have been awarded my DPhil. This post is just to say thank you to everyone who has helped me over the last 3 years of my PhD; especially my Community Health Worker colleagues - without whom this work would not have been possible. This thesis is dedicated to them.

@matiii @KevinEspiritu @elevenlabs Thank you so much. I think Kevin has sent you my email directly. I’m truly grateful

@DoctorODonovan @KevinEspiritu @elevenlabs Of course - we’ll do everything we can to help.

Does anyone that follows me work at @elevenlabs? I have a YouTuber friend who is losing his voice due to a rare vocal tumor and he's hoping to get in touch on a special project to preserve his ability to create on his YouTube channel

“There’s something scary about the degree of power that Western academics can exercise over poor people... if a foreign researcher wants to carry out an unethical RCT in a place like Kenya, they can.” But the real problem is there aren’t sufficient ethical safeguards in place.
