Mr Grammarly writes a novel

Grammarly is a web-based service to support writers. I use it a lot but worry that Grammarly will homogenise the literary voice until we all sound like the Grammarly family’s pet — a parrot named “Mr Grammarly”. Grammarly provides advice on correcting punctuation, word use, and reducing the use of…

Palliative care tradeoffs

Is life so precious that any number of painful, lonely, frightened deaths is acceptable to preserve one life? As a child, I competed with my siblings to see who could hold their breath the longest. I remember the increasingly desperate need to draw a breath as time slowed in proportion…

Decolonising voices in global health?

The cartographic challenge of decolonising global health

There are a growing number of papers in the peer-reviewed literature about decolonising global health (see). Pascale Allotey and I have discussed the problem in terms of “trickle-down science”. That is, the way (global health) science is done, how it is prioritised, and who is advantaged by it. It is…
