Some brutal stats on work and life after cancer. Happy to be still doing my thing @CGDev, 18 months after my chemotherapy finished.
Exciting applied research job with a great NGO leading the fight against global lead poisoning
Apparently there's still time for remaining candidates for CGD president to meet some of the people they'd be managing before the process concludes.

In #Gambia: Reversing the Ban on Female Circumcision: An Alarm Bell for Girls’ Education and Gender Equality Globally 📍 buff.ly/3UtYrgb via @CGDev @susannahhares "These moves—reflect the nature of gains made in gender equality and have implications for education,"
"The attempt to reverse the ban should alarm girls education advocates globally." Highlighting links between female circumcision & girls' education, @thile1714, @kfajayi, and @susannahhares stress the risks of The Gambia's possible ban reversal: bit.ly/49ULqB3
New paper with @iamgeorgeyang: The Implications of a Declining Labor Force. Lots of papers have looked at the impact of a relative shift in working age populations. We look at the absolute shift to a smaller workforce. Its not great. cgdev.org/publication/im…
A sad day for Britain. Passing laws that assert lies the government wish to be true is not something healthy political systems do. My thoughts are with all those now at risk of deportation to an unsafe country.
You’d think Tories who, at some point, way back, once seemed half decent would relish the chance to do something good for (ordinary) people and planet. But no. All they have is this.

Janet Yellen’s speech Fri to the IMF/WB governors made veiled reference to this case: “Any threats to the CAO’s independence, real or perceived, are unacceptable, and the United States will pursue necessary reforms to support the CAO’s effectiveness.” devcommittee.org/content/dam/si…

“If a hypothetical school reduced child abuse rates below prevailing levels but not to zero, and diligently reported and pursued the remaining cases, we would be having a very different conversation. That’s not what happened here.”

“Economist brain” and child abuse. cgdev.org/blog/timeline-…
The World Bank has promised an investigation into the alleged International Finance Corporation cover up of sexual abuse at Bridge Schools in Kenya. @JustinSandefur shares a timeline of events: bit.ly/3JqvdZy
Clearly some answers are needed for this dereliction of duty by the IFC. But also, as @JustinSandefur points out: “There is an argument to be made that organizations who continue to work with Bridge now do so knowing that they may be putting children in harm’s way.”

The World Bank / Bridge Academies sex abuse scandal. In a new blog, @JustinSandefur maps out the timeline, with some big questions: what did the other investors (@BillGates @ImaginableFut @ChanZuckerberg) know? Who will compensate victims? Who is accountable for the cover-ups?…
In England, children are the only group not fully protected from physical assault. Parents are allowed to hit their kids, leading to significant negative impacts on kids This report from the Royal College of Paediatric & Child Health calls for a full ban rcpch.ac.uk/sites/default/…
Objectively hilarious that the final act in Britain's collapse turns out to be 'Children's author launches flame war on our nation's property TV show hosts for not hating the people she hates.' Next up: Philip Pullman cancels that bloke off Homes Under the Hammer because of ULEZ

CGD is looking for a new president. Here’s why (I think) you should be applying, which I hope reflects the kind of people (I think) we want. Note CGD doesn’t have institutional positions (see below) –so maybe other people here see/want something different :-).
And they say investigative journalism is dying.

@MiddleEastEye Here’s @EmoryUniversity economics professor Caroline Fohlin knocked to the ground with her head on the concrete. Her glasses are thrown off. She shouts “I’m a professor” #Gaza #Protesters
Apparently there's still time for remaining candidates for CGD president to meet some of the people they'd be managing before the process concludes.
I think this process is getting towards its final stages. Sadly, a staff request for engagement with candidates wasn't accommodated, but if you happen to be a candidate who wants to meet some potential reports, I'm sure we could set something up :-)
Absolutely iconic Wes reaction here.
If you would like to understand exactly how Congo is different from Rwanda, can I recommend this excellent book? x.com/aveek18/status…
I read Congo by David van Reybrouck, a history of the country we now know as DRC. It's brilliant: beautifully written, humanely researched and a sad but fascinating story.
