20th century intelligence - ending poverty of half world without electricity -although Keynes 1936 (last capter general theiry money inetrest emplymen) asked Economists to take hipocrati oath as the profession that ended extreme poverty, most economists did the opposite. Whats not understandable is how educatirs failed to catalogue the lessons of the handful who bottom-up empowered vilages to collaboratively end poverty. There are mainly 2 inteligences to understand- Borlaug on food; fazle abed on everything that raised life expectancy in tropical viage asia from low 40s to 60s (about 7 below norm of living with electricity and telecomes). Between 1972 and 2001, Abed's lessons catalogued in this mooc had largelu built the nation of Bangladesh and been replicated with help of Unicef's James Grant acroo most tropical asian areas. What's exciting is the valley's mr ad mrs steve jobs invted Fazle Abed to share inteligences 2001 at his 65th birthday party. The Jobs and frineds promised to integrate abed's inteligence into neighborhod university stanfrd which in any event wanted Jobs next great leap the iphone. The Valley told abed to start a university so that women graduates from poor and rich nations could blend inteligence as Abed's bottom of the pyramid vilage began their journey of leapfrog modles now that gridd infarstructures were ni longer needed for sdiar and mobile. Abed could also help redesign the millennium goals which were being greenwashed into a shared worldwide system coding frame by 2016. There re at Abed's 80th birtday party , the easy bitwas checking this mooc was uptodate. The hard bit - what did Abed mean by his wish to headhunt a taiwanese american to head the university's 3rd decade starting 2020?

Welcome to Mosquito Week 2021 on the Gates Notes.
Last year, many people feared a malaria catastrophe. An analysis by the World Health Organization found that disruptions to malaria control and treatment due to COVID-19 could lead to a dramatic increase in malaria deaths in sub-Saharan Africa.
A year later, I’m happy to report that this worst-case scenario, at least for now, has been avoided.
This Mosquito Week I share the story of how African countries averted disaster by quickly adapting their malaria programs to meet the challenges of the pandemic.
I also highlight the research the U.S. military is doing to combat the mosquito, which has caused more casualties for troops than bombs and bullets.
Finally, I provide an update on an amazing breakthrough that might control the spread of dengue fever, a terrible mosquito-borne disease that infects 400 million people every year.
Thanks for your interest in learning about all the innovation underway to fight diseases spread by the world’s deadliest animal.
