"Anything you can do, I can do bleeding." The rise of femtech reveals a central tension in feminism: do we celebrate our biological differences or fight against being defined by them? New tech is changing how we think about our bodies.

Please read our new @LancetGH paper led by @bayinganaa — "Dignity-based practice in global health research: a framework of expectations" thelancet.com/journals/langl… We went from "complaints on knowledge practices" to "expectations that affirm the dignity of marginalised knowers".

Why do we get so worked up about other people's food choices? Latest episode with philosopher Megan Dean dives into the ethics of hosting, gut issues, and why epistemic humility matters at the dinner table. What's your most challenging hosting experience? buzzsprout.com/1104002/episo…

"The place they go towards is a place even less imaginable to most of us than the city of happiness. I cannot describe it at all. It is possible it does not [yet] exist. But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas." — Ursula K. Le Guin.
TODAY’s treat! Finally got my hands on @DanielleAlakija ‘s copy of this MUST READ by @seyeabimbola - there are imminent seismic shifts in the world of geopolitics, global health & development. This book is essential reading as we prepare to “walk away from the omela’s”

Fantastic to join the @Undisciplinary_ podcast to talk about my continuing fascination with the story of horseshoe crabs, a story that showcases public health's entanglements with strange animals, & questions whether we can, could, or should care about these entanglements?
