Partners In Health founder Paul E. Farmer discussed his non-profit healthcare organization’s involvement in the developing world yesterday afternoon at the Harvard School of Public Health. Farmer, a professor of social medicine at Harvard Medical School, spoke alongside two other medical experts about the intimate connection between poverty and disease and the need for intervention at a much broader scope. “It’s not fair for people to be able to starve in the 21st century when there’s such affluence,” said Farmer.

But Mills is R.E.M.’s quiet hero. His killer basslines made “Murmur” a masterpiece; his high-pitched vocal harmonies—the perfect counterpart to Stipe’s low mumble—propelled songs like “It?...
...while global health delivery science is rooted in the social sciences—the opportunities for productive synergies between NTD and delivery research initiatives are numerous, including collaborations in the development of research capacity overseas. Many Harvard professors, including Jim Kim, Bruce Walker, Dyann Wirth, Sue Goldie and Paul Farmer have made extensive contributions to these fields...
