<description><![CDATA[There are places where thousands of children wonâ€™t live to the age of five. There are places where thousands of cell phone batteries are thrown away every day. And there are scientists who, by asking the right questions, found a life-saving link between the two. Reusing discarded cell phone batteries, we created affordable and effective solar-powered pulse oximeters for early detection of pneumonia. Itâ€™s looking at challenges in new ways like this that has made Boston University one of todayâ€™s leading centers of knowledge. And why thinking differently about our world begins with BU.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[For the past eight years, the Health Economics and Epidemiology Research Office (HE2RO) has been collecting data, running it through algorithms that produce more data, then delivering it to the South African National Department of Health. HE2ROâ€™s information, empirical evidence of the effectiveness and cost of new and better ways to combat HIV/AIDS, is in some ways as instrumental among South African health policy makers as the new pharmaceuticals are for AIDS patients. Decision makers in both the National Department of Health and the Department of Treasury have used the data to frame an HIV program that treats almost two million people.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In March 2011, South Africaâ€™s National Health Laboratory Service was considering replacing the method it uses to diagnose TB from â€œsmear microscopyâ€â€”looking for TB bacilli under a microscope, the way it has been done for nearly a centuryâ€”with a new technology recommended by the World Health Organization. For advice on the costs of such a switch, the service turned to researchers from the Health Economics and Epidemiology Research Office (HE2RO), a collaboration between researchers from BUâ€™s Center for Global Health & Development (CGHD) and the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. The technology, called GeneXpert MTB/RIF, had two advantages over existing methodology: it found more TB, and it found it much faster.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Anti-malarial drugs are being used inappropriately for sick children in Zambia -- a problem that can be addressed by arming community health workers with a simple rapid-diagnostic test and a supply of antibiotics, a study led by researchers at Boston University School of Public Health has found. 

Listen to Kojo Yeboah-Antwi, assistant professor of international health at BUSPH, and David Hamer, professor of international health at BUSPH, discuss the study.

<description><![CDATA[Unless you are in your 40's you don't remember a time without AIDS. And if you're in your 20's you won't remember a time when AIDS wasn't treatable in this world - when it was a death sentence. HIV has changed our world in profound ways.  

We will tell our stories on November 30.

Stories from those who were in the Congo when the virus was first discovered; in Vietnam when the government decided to fund treatment; and in the US when communities decided to come together instead of pushing each other away. 

Join us in reflecting on the impact that HIV has had on our world, our lives and our communities.]]></description>
