Dr Morna Cornell, University of Cape Town Men make up slightly less than half of the adults living with HIV across the world. Yet they account for nearly 60% of the AIDS related deaths. This is one of the observations from the The Lancet Commission on HIV, which looked at the global response to the pandemic. According to the report, the key driver of this gender difference in health outcomes between men and women is that men use health care services less than women. This isn’t a new observation: for more than 10 years antiretroviral therapy (ART) programmes in sub-Saharan…
Astrid R.N. Haas, International Growth Centre More than half of all African countries have now imposed lockdown measures aimed at flattening the curve of new COVID-19 infections. The reason for taking such drastic measures while infection rates are still relatively low, compared to the rest of the world, is that they could help Africa prevent the pandemic from making an even greater impact. Some of the lockdown measures are even more stringent than those in many developed countries. These measures are already having a negative economic impact, particularly on urban populations. People operating in the informal economy, who make a…

Gonzalo R. Quintana Zunino, Concordia University Lately, the one topic the entire world is concerned about is the novel coronavirus. In line with that, as a sex positive neuroscience sex researcher, I am writing this article with a couple of goals: to inform readers how sex relates to the current pandemic, and to prevent the spread of myths and misinformation in an agitated social environment. Given the common modes of transmission of respiratory viruses, engaging in certain types of sexual activities may risk spreading the virus. However, expecting people to abstain from sex during times of isolation is unrealistic. In…
Richard Matthews, University of Adelaide What do nuclear submarines, top secret military bases and private businesses have in common? They are all vulnerable to a simple slice of cheddar. This was the clear result of a “pen testing” exercise, otherwise known as penetration testing, at the annual Cyber Security Summer School in Tallinn, Estonia in July. I attended, along with a contingent from Australia, to present research at the third annual Interdisciplinary Cyber Research workshop. We also got the chance to visit companies such as Skype and Funderbeam, as well as the NATO Collaborative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence. The…
Tim Riley, Emerson College Fifty years ago, when Paul McCartney announced he had left the Beatles, the news dashed the hopes of millions of fans, while fueling false reunion rumors that persisted well into the new decade. In a press release on April 10, 1970 for his first solo album, “McCartney,” he leaked his intention to leave. In doing so, he shocked his three bandmates. The Beatles had symbolized the great communal spirit of the era. How could they possibly come apart? Few at the time were aware of the underlying fissures. The power struggles in the group had been…
Growing up I thought that only those who are rich or well dressed are people of importance until an unforgettable experience changed that worldview forever. My dad decided to drop my siblings and I off school at school since he had a meeting at his office in Ikoyi. Moreover, Greensprings School was on his way to work. On our way, we noticed a young boy trying to board a Danfo (yellow mini bus) but the conductor didn’t let him enter, giving priority to those dressed for work. Didn’t know when I said out loud in a derogatory manner “He obviously…
Neelaveni Padayachee, University of the Witwatersrand and Lisa Claire du Toit, University of the Witwatersrand In the second week of March the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic. By mid-March the disease had spread rapidly in many countries around the world. Governments are taking drastic steps, including the complete lockdown of cities, as well as extensive health interventions to try and stem the disease which is caused by a new coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2. There is still a great deal that’s not known about SARS-CoV-2. This limited scientific information has contributed to a slew of myths and misconceptions. Some…
Jean-Nicolas Reyt, McGill University As part of the fight against COVID-19, Canada is urging “employees at all work sites … to work remotely whenever and wherever possible.” Although we might find comfort in thinking switching between office and remote work is mostly an IT problem, three decades of management research on telecommuting tells us that the real challenges are just starting. Thousands of teams across Canada are going through the difficult transition of redefining the way they function. How teams tackle these challenges will have profound consequences on their productivity and the well-being of their members. Below are three challenges…
