Mashup Score: 11
Epidemics and pandemics pose a sporadic and sometimes severe threat to human health. How should policymakers prioritize preventing and preparing for such events, relative to other needs? Our simulations suggest that an event having the mortality level of COVID-19 should not be considered a “once in a century” risk, but rather occurring with an annual probability of 2-3 percent (that is, a one in 33-50-year event).

Mashup Score: 184Advancing Equity and Innovation in Research Publishing: Time for a New Era in the Open Access Movement? - 1 month(s) ago
Today marks a significant milestone as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) announces a new Open Access policy, representing a departure from traditional practices. This policy will cease support for individual article publishing fees, known as APCs, and mandate the use of preprints while advocating for their review. This blog looks at the rationale behind this change, exploring the persistent challenges in research publishing and the potential of preprint servers as a solution.

Excellent policy shift from the Gates Foundation, mandating preprints and no longer supporting OA fees. This will ensure research products are accessible without propping up the fundamentally broken current publishing model. Hope other funders follow! https://t.co/rQN8XWSNZS

Mashup Score: 2The 2024-2025 Replenishment Traffic Jam: Are We Headed for a Pileup? - 3 month(s) ago
With several replenishment campaigns set for 2024-2025, a fundraising pileup is on the horizon. Close to a dozen major development funds—including the World Bank’s International Development Association (IDA), thematic funds like Gavi, and new entities like the Loss and Damage Fund—could aim to raise over $100 billion from donors over the next two years, according to our projections.

Mashup Score: 2Back to School: An Update on COVID Cases as Schools Reopen - 8 month(s) ago
Last month we published a blog post tracking new COVID-19 cases in countries where schools had recently reopened or were about to reopen. Two weeks on, we’ve updated the data. In the countries where the epidemic was sizable and where schools have been open for a few weeks, the trend remains more or less the same.
