Good luck to the pediatricians out there completing their MOCA questions on a holiday weekend. Every quarter I say I’m going to change and yet here we are again… 😂

To aid in recognition of NTDs amongst patients with NTD exposures we have developed a laboratory screening guideline for HCW to help increase detection and guide presumptive treatment in children 4/4 texaschildrens.org/sites/default/

For information regarding presumptive treatment of NTDs in newly arrived refugees see CDC domestic guidelines. 3/4 cdc.gov/immigrantrefug

To increase awareness in areas of resettlement, we aim to: 1. Improve culturally appropriate, gender-focused, multi-disciplinary health care access 2. Improve HCW knowledge on disease recognition, diagnostic tools, management and long-term follow up 2/4

As the number of forcibly displaced women and girls increases, it becomes ever important to recognize the negative health impacts of being displaced. Women and girl refugees are disproportionately...

Congrats

@JeroenBKPollet

for winning the very competitive

World Cup bracket. Draped in his Belgium flag (despite not picking them to advance out of group stage 😂), this is one of Jereon’s greatest achievements 😂. Looking forward to the women’s World Cup in 2023.

We are so fortunate to have the best administration in academia

. This team holds all of us together

@PeterHotez

Today on

#TropMed Friday I’m so thankful for our small but mighty laboratory team. Together we have made some amazing discoveries related to pathogen induced immunopathology due to parasites and emerging pathogens. We can’t wait to share our work in 2023.

❤️ our

Because of US Soccer's new equal pay agreement, men and women split World Cup prize money. With the USMNT advancing today, the two teams will each receive $6.5 million minimum. That's more than the USWNT got for winning both the 2015 and 2019 World Cups combined: $6 million.
