Roger Payne, legend of whale biology and marine conservation has died. The world has lost a force of nature.
I wrote a book with Roger in it, he took me under his wing and we became friends.
Here is a small part of the story of this wonderful human.

Dissemination of findings from the ESRC funded Shock Tactics research in Freetown. A research collaboration between @SLURC_FT and @IDS_UK. We learned that the urban poor have limitless agency to initiate change. What they need is leadership. @ARISEHub @ALSWilkinson

The acknowledgement of the role and resourcefulness of community groups in Africa's ongoing fight against #COVID-19 is a story that needs to be told over and over again- check our new paper

To mark Universal Health Coverage Day we are launching our ARISE map (created by @LeahMBrettell of @IDS_UK)
A new way of visualising our work on health and accountability in informal urban spaces!

See our latest blog on how epidemic response is always political (as @DrSophieHarman @SimuChigudu and many others have already said). Rather, a 'good politics' (Kelley Lee) is needed to continue momentum & build vaccine confidence after this start of the #COVID19Vaccine rollout.
🎉As we celebrate the 1st person in the world receiving the #Pfizervaccine, we mustn't lose sight of the task ahead
💉Getting people to have confidence in it is complicated & requires trust in politics

@ALSWilkinson I believe this is the article you were referring to in our conversation where they state that: "More
leaders of global health organisations are alumni of
Harvard than are women from LMICs." I could retweet so many sections of this paper, it's such a great piece!
Excellent piece by @seyeabimbola and @paimadhu Will global health survive its decolonisation? "Respect and *humility* are vaccines against
supremacy." Spot on! thelancet.com/journals/lance…

#COVID-19 requires a radical rethink of development - with resilience, equity and inclusivity centre-stage. Our new @WorldDevJournal article on post-pandemic transformations shows why and how. @IDS_UK @anthro_prepare

Exciting Covid-19 vaccine news, but vaccine hesitancy likely, needing social understanding and public dialogue, as new rapid review from @BritishAcademy_ & @royalsociety shows. Good to be part of this important discussion, drawing on our global research @IDS_UK @SSHAP_action
"Important insights include that vaccines are social phenomena as much as technical ones, and people will always interpret, accept or worry about them in their social contexts."

Responses to #covid19 in urban areas of the global South show "too little understanding about the importance of building dialogue, exploring collaboration and co-producing solutions."
