“Let’s talk about non-communicable diseases,” I might say to you.“Omigod, I am sick to death of talking about NCDs,” you totally would not say. “If I hear one more world leader outlining a clear plan to address them, I’m simply going to scream,” you would never add.  Read more >

In the moment, I thought it was a big truck rumbling past. Sitting on the sofa with my daughter, playing with her alphabet animals book (did you know that Z is for Zorilla?).

Stuff just wasn't that difficult anymore. Really hard stuff, like getting out of bed or concentrating on reading for more than five minutes at a time totally got done without a second thought.  Read more >

We like to joke that she skipped the bland rice cereal and strained peas phase and went straight to big game. Clearly, she is very advanced in the nom department.  Read more >
