Minnow! A commission for @billie-cardboard ! She requested a sea fairing goblin. Unlike the goblins of the swamp the sea fairing goblin tribes will cut the ears of their young to a more fish like shape, and they tend to have more webbing around their fingers than their counterparts in the swamps.

These goblins earn their names with the first fish or ocean creature they catch in a ceremony held for children.

What happens when two PhD scientists that love infectious diseases, global health, and red lipstick find each other? Basically they become global health besties and decide that THEY MUST collaborate on a project together.

In this regard, Dr. Sulzhan Bali and I are starting our own This Week in Global Health segment called Global Health Out Loud, where it's the two of us talking the biggest, most interesting, and current global health news stories. We'll tell you what you need to know and share some of our own perspectives on these topics.

This was one of my favorite episodes on This Week in Global Health, because, well, HIV. We’re in my wheelhouse now. ;)

If you want to know what was covered in the new unaids report, including new and very ambitious targets to reach in the next 5 years (otherwise the epidemic will rebound!), tune in here.
