...exists with ready access. The state has managed to keep teen pregnancy on the decline for 15 years. For this, it should be applauded. There has been reached a clear recognition that these births are both the source of personal anguish and the matrix of large-scale social problems: natal health risks, dropout rates, and even incarceration figures share an observable, direct link to the number of young mothers. This makes cuts in health-education funding—down 26 percent since 2001—seem especially puzzling; each dollar spent teaching students about birth control and sexual responsibility would...
...major step forward in the ongoing global fight against tuberculosis (TB). By sequencing the genes of the most deadly strains of the bacteria responsible for TB, researchers from both the Broad Institute—a joint Harvard and MIT research organization—and the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa hope they have opened the door to a new way of studying TB and its effects. Megan Murray, an associate professor at the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH), co-led the project, which has been ongoing for 15 months. Willem Sturm, the Interim Dean of the Nelson...
Zuma was born in the poor, sparsely populated area of Inkandla in the eastern province of KwaZulu-Natal.

Their location poses a dilemma over in which annual tournament to include the Pumas...
...conundrum, and Patel is obliged to rake through centuries and continents for the seeds - pardon the pun - of the world's dietary inequity. The library work is solid - he is currently a researcher at South Africa's University of KwaZulu-Natal, as well as a visiting scholar at the University of California, Berkeley. As you would expect from that résumé, he writes like an academic - but that's not to say the book is bloodless. Patel has a highly developed historical sense of why we eat as we do, and if readers who have enough food understand...
