The July issue of Public Health Ethics is online, including many gems. @vmywang.bsky.social 's paper "On the unfairness of the 'fair-share principle'" challenges the assumption that distributing research funding based on global burden of disease is an adequate approach.

He liked thick giblet soup, nutty gizzards, a stuffed roast heart, liver slices fried with crustcrumbs, fried hencods’ roes.Most of all he liked grilled mutton kidneys which gave to his palate a fine tang of faintly scented urine
