"Hammerheads" Today's blog post is out! The question remains: Why did @ElsevierConnect choose @Scopus as the name for their abstract database? It's the genus name of an oddly shaped obsessive nest builder, the hamerkop. Details in the post. ghicn.org/postels-blog-j…

"Imitation" Blog post about drawing inspiration from those around you, from the greats like @ttmalawi to the people you meet each day. Please subscribe (for free)! ghicn.org/postels-blog-j…

"Mulanje" Blog post about the excellent stargazing trip to Mulanje Mountain led by @lemoncul and attended by @kirolos_amir @flashton2003 among many others. Thanks for the photo, Phil! And thanks for the preservation efforts, @Mount_Mulanje. Keep it up! ghicn.org/postels-blog-j…

"Healing" Last week's Global Health blog post led to many comments about the emotions inside physicians when treating people with severe illnesses. See what you think! ghicn.org/postels-blog-j…

@flashton2003 Thanks for reading ( and subscribing) @flashton2003 . I never know if what I write each week will be of interest. Thanks for the feedback and spreading the word!

Remarkable blog post on what it’s like to treat severely ill children (cerebral malaria) in Malawi by @DougPostels ghicn.org/postels-blog-j…

Publication Day! The Editor of a prominent professional journal asked me to write an opinion piece based on my global health blog. It's out today and I'm feeling very 😊. authors.elsevier.com/a/1d5Qm39uenbS…

Another big first today in Blantyre, Malawi. @ttmalawi and team randomized our first child participant in the "Treating Brain Swelling" clinical trial using the portable MRI designed by @Hyperfine . Congratulations to all and hoping for the child's speedy and complete recovery🎉
