In June I'm doing a free webinar: "Information retrieval for evidence synthesis: How researchers in limited-resource environments can do comprehensive searches"

Kudos to @AnnualReviews for converting the first 15 volumes of its backfile to #OpenAccess.
https://scienmag.com/conversion-to-open-access-using-equitable-new-model-sees-upsurge-in-usage-of-expert-scientific-knowledge/

#Usage rose sharply: "Article access doubled or tripled and continues to rise, with usage not just from subscribers but from local governments and businesses, foundations, professionals and interested members of society [#lay readers]. The increase of usage in low- or middle-income countries (#LMIC) is especially notable."

Recommendations from The #CapeTown Statement on #Research #Integrity through #Fairness & #Equity.
https://www.wcrif.org/guidance/cape-town-statement

"7. Barriers to ‘#OpenScience’ [for] researchers…in low-resource settings need to be identified & addressed by publishers & other… stakeholders…Journals & publishers should adjust page costs for authors from low-resourced environments…

11. Data access, use, sharing & openness requirements should not unfairly disadvantage #LMIC collaborators."

Today I was asked, how likely is #xDR #TB likely to cross borders and enter the #UK.

Are you a #clinician working with #TB? How often do you see a #XDR #TB infection?

⭐️Wanted⭐️@Sonosite M-Turbo! I have used our current one to train 10 local docs to do bedside 🧠 ❤️ 🫁 ultrasounds. For 7 years we have done >30 scans or echos a week on our small & sick neonates, pushing boundaries of neonatology in a #LMIC but it is not working & not repairable

Happy new year and hi to the Mastodon peeps!
I see #introductions are a thing, so here I go 🤓:
I'm Maja, an #econ postdoc working on #GlobalHealth at the Brigham & Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School.
Just got back from my email hiatus over the holidays. Now that I'm mostly off twitter, I'm trying to my way around here. Interested in: #AccessToCare #HIV #LMIC #NCDs #Aging #DevEcon #development #Gender #Equity #ResearchEthics #ImpactEval. Excel trashing also welcome.

Finally after a lot of delay the OCAT trial - Intesification of Radiation in Oral Cavity cancers has been published. Although I am a co-author of the trial involved primarily in the analysis - this decade long clinical trial has some interesting lessons for clinical trialists working out of LMICs. But to begin, the full text is available here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejca.2022.12.016 #radonc #OralCancer #HeadNeckCancers #hncsm #LMIC #clinicaltrials

An absolutely stellar document from @ISNkidneycare on developing #dialysis services in #LMIC

I’m sure there are many useful tips for colleagues there ⬇️⬇️⬇️

1️⃣ Do you practice / study /research in the field of #InfectiousDIseases or #ClinicalMicrobiology?

If so, #ECCMID2023 is your target.

2⃣ Do you live in a #LMIC?

ESCMID Föerdeverein supports (#Grant) attendees from LMIC. You still a few days to apply (#Deadline Dec 15th). Why not?

Teaching a masterclass on institutions and policymaking in #LMIC at #KingsCollegeLondon today. Very excited!

Eine neue Studie über Länder mit niedrigen und mittleren Einkommen (#LMIC) in Planetary Health zeigt, dass 14,2% der Befragten Unsicherheiten mit der #Wasserversorgung hatten. Am gefährdetsten: #Kamerun (63,9%) und #Äthiopien (45%).
