So many countries resorted to under-testing, undercounting and data suppression as a way of dealing with the COVID pandemic @MaxCRoser and team @OurWorldInData offer best practices for government agencies thelancet.com/journals/lanpu…
What can we learn from the COVID-19 pandemic about how to publish data better? In a new open-access article for @TheLancetPH, we @OurWorldInData outline seven key lessons for public agencies and other organizations. A thread of the highlights: ourworldindata.org/key-lessons-fr…
In 1990, over 9% of the world's newborns did not survive beyond age five. By 2021, this child mortality rate had declined to 3.7%. Thanks to progress in global health, 132 million more people are alive in our world today. New article by @MaxCRoser → ourworldindata.org/children-saved…
Amazing opportunity here...

I've looked at this post multiple times this evening. If it seems that *everything* in the world is worse, or that q we study on econ growth, public health, basic service delivery are small/ incremental, it's worth coming back to this. Hard to think of metrics that matter more!

Good news!
The reduction of child mortality is one of the big achievements of our time. But it is hard to celebrate something that is *not* happening. So, for my new article, I turned things around. 👇This is the main chart and takeaway. Here is the article: ourworldindata.org/children-saved…
How many human cases of H5N1 have there been historically? We just updated our dataset on this. Find it here: ourworldindata.org/grapher/h5n1-f… This only shows reported cases — testing to confirm flu subtypes is limited, especially for subtypes like H5N1.

Great job working for a fantastic organization. @OurWorldInData is looking for writers to help turn the evidence and data into compelling and informative narratives. ourworldindata.org/writer-q2-2024
It's finally made it out into the wild!
Learned a lot from @doyne_farmer 's "Making Sense of Chaos". Packed with interesting ideas about how to bring complexity science into economics, and the critiques of economics are thoughtful and well-informed rather than straw men. amzn.to/3W0OGr7
1 in 5 US retail milk samples test positive for H5N1 avian flu fragments. This suggests extent of infection in dairy cows may be under estimated. ‘Fragments’ does not mean there is an infection risk but this needs confirmation by looking for viable virus. cidrap.umn.edu/avian-influenz…

@bbherre @OurWorldInData @TheLancetPH I think this (very good and punchy) article really understates the role that OWiD played in 1) Setting standards for countries 2) Helping implement them 3) Enforcing them via community (when countries didn't do it) Immeasurable contribution. Danke schon!
I'm always so envious when I meet people who haven't read any Wodehouse novels, because it means they have them all to enjoy for the first time. That seems the ultimate accolade for a writer of fiction: when the people who've read your books envy those who haven't.
Wie der Boulevard Stimmung macht. Hier gegen die Justiz. Fritzl kommt nicht frei. Worum es geht: wird er vom Maßnahmen- in den Normalvollzug eines Gefängnisses verlegt? Es ist so absurd, diese Medien mit Mio Förderung aus Steuermitteln für ihre permanente Angstmache zu füttern.
Why? To keep progress going—in science, technology, and industry—we have to believe that it is is possible and desirable. Today we lack a bold, ambitious vision for the future. It’s time for a new generation of intellectuals to help the world understand and appreciate progress.

Ozone layer protection illustrates beautifully that #Foresight sometimes works. It is worth noting the profound difference between cutting CFCs and the like and cutting CO2 - a difference experts noted in my 1988 cover story on global warming. As true now as it was then:…

There are few things that are universal among human beings. But one is that if you ask what the worst thing that can happen to anyone is, everyone will answer, "The death of your own child."
The reduction of child mortality is one of the big achievements of our time. But it is hard to celebrate something that is *not* happening. So, for my new article, I turned things around. 👇This is the main chart and takeaway. Here is the article: ourworldindata.org/children-saved…
Child mortality had been cut in half. This is great. But 6 million children still die each year. This is terrible. And nearly all of these could be saved with cheap medical interventions. But we choose not to do it.

Great job working for a fantastic organization. @OurWorldInData is looking for writers to help turn the evidence and data into compelling and informative narratives. ourworldindata.org/writer-q2-2024
@MaxCRoser One of the greatest advances of modernity is massive declines in child mortality, and it is the greatest motivation to spread modernity around the world.
