We’ve been getting a lot of interesting analysis and attention on Dr. Hotez’s New York Times editorial, along with his newly published NTD debate paper in PLoS Medicine that have both been released this past week. So on today’s reading list, we’ve provided you with a sample of what people are saying about the pieces and the engaging discussions that they have sparked. We’ve also included materials in other NTD and global health news, particularly about the decrease in deaths of children under five years old, and the importance of water sanitation. Enjoy!
