one thing we did at recent fellows course was get everyone to frame their mission (<8 words, of course) in terms of a win. too often, we settle for simply losing more slowly, especially in conservation

What if I told you that roughly $500 for therapy + a little cash helped the most troubled young men in West Africa drop their crime and violence by half. For at least 10 years.
Almost 350 fewer crimes PER PARTICIPANT over 10y.
That's ~$1.50 per crime averted.

For the last 4 years, I've worked at @ResolveTSL building software to support public health. It's been the most fulfilling and challenging job I've ever had.
We're looking for great people to join our team, so it's time I told the story of building Simple.org 🧵

Tens of millions of AstraZeneca vaccines that won't be approved here soon enough are languishing in US depots. Our supply already exceeds the number of Americans. Less than 1% of Africa has been vaccinated. President Biden: Let our surplus vaccines go—now. nytimes.com/2021/03/17/opini…

Today, The @Tennessean published an investigation in which I identify dozens of links between known coronavirus clusters in Nashville through an analysis of contact tracing data. This is my most complex journalism of 2020. And this is a thread. 1/ tennessean.com/in-depth/news…

❗️Did you know that *study after study* finds most people don't seem to transmit COVID at all? That a small percent is responsible for almost all infections? That R is not that informative? My new piece on why this may be key to controlling the pandemic. theatlantic.com/health/archi…

The virus will spread until we stop it. The vast majority of people in the US understand. Long road ahead. Months of hard work and frustration. Together, we can protect lives and livelihoods. Masks. Handwashing. Distance. Test. Isolate. Contact trace. Quarantine. No shortcuts.
