Why we still don’t have a cure for AIDS — a novel explanation | HumanosphereWhy we still don’t have a cure for AIDS — a novel explanation | Humanosphere
If someone discovered a cure for AIDS, would the pharmaceutical industry be able to - or even want to - develop it? That's one of the questions explored in Through These Veins, the first novel by Anne Marie Ruff, a veteran journalist who has covered AIDS, medical research, biodiversity and other international issues for many publications.
Million Moms Challenge Launches Educational Alternative to FarmVilleMillion Moms Challenge Launches Educational Alternative to FarmVille
Wednesday at the Social Good Summit , ABC News correspondent Juju Chang announced a new Facebook game aimed at educating people about maternal health. The game, which is a piece of the larger Million Moms Challenge initiative launched earlier this week by ABC News and the UN Foundation, is called 1000 Days and guides players through a series of educational mini games that teach about things such as proper diet, breast feeding and government regulations.

As the saying goes...there is no rest for the weary... yesterday was a BIG day for maternal, newborn and child health.

8220;When are we going to get over the idea that it&#8217;s shocking that women can do things?&#8221; Academy Award-winning actress Geena Davis asked the crowd at the Social Good Summit Tuesday. That idea is largely the result of American media, Davis said. Industry-wide, women have been typecast in stereotypical, sexualized or less-powerful roles, she said.

Well, this is all still a bit confusing. I can't tell if anything actually happened. Maybe that's normal, when it comes to how things get done at the United Nations. (More on the "outcome" after a slight digression.) I came to New York to cover a meeting, called the UN High-Level Meeting on Non-Communicable Diseases, which concluded yesterday.
