Two editorials in our Journal are now available online advocating for global health, U.S. public health and biomedical research institutions.

The Society mourns the loss of Dickson Despommier, PhD, a member of the Society's Board of Directors from 1989-1992 and one of the founders of Parasites Without Borders. 

Recent broad workforce reductions in essential federal public health and scientific personnel will severely hinder research efforts, compromising the safety of both the United States and the global community.

We have stood and will continue to stand for excellence in tropical medicine and global health research.
