Not sure #HSR2018 has got the message about environmental sustainability- lunch served in plastic trays that may/not be recycled; unsure if tea and coffee is Fairtrade; tuna in sandwiches not labelled as MSC; and unhealthy snacks (crisps, cookies) at a health conference...

Focusing on the effects of violence in the home on children's mental health in conflict zones, this Helpdesk Report from @IDS_UK suggests that home life can be a moderator, and potentially a mediator, of the effects of war #WorldMentalHealthDay buff.ly/2Rzsscd

Great to see @patel4witham commit to more DFID funding for research + reference @ELRHA funded Ebola research as example of what UK achieves
Reflections from #HuCoB16 -Syria & Europe refugee crisis dominating discourse.Little space for reflection and research. @ELRHA still needed!

for those in audience for #genderbasedviolence panel at #HuCoB16, we've just published a gap analysis into #GBV: bit.ly/InnovatingGBV
Talking GBV in humanitarian. Felicitas Ibanez on the need for evaluation. MdM found shocking treatment of women on period in Ebola crises
Even at a conference dominated by medical students and health practitioners,a lot of people seem to like to smoke here in Germany! #HuCoB16

No mention of research so far in discussion about the World Humanitarian Summit and next steps. Big gap, @ELRHA trying to address #HuCoB16
