Thank you Prof Katunguuka. Im humbled

Born in Rumbek, South Sudan 🇸🇸. Raised in Uganda 🇺🇬 since he was 2. Picked up interest in playing basketball after a boda boda man told him he was too tall for his age. Started playing at 14 & 4 years later, he is a top 10 NBA Draft 2025 pick. Wow! 🤯

Did you know studies have shown that just one exposure to tear gas can increase the likelihood of respiratory illnesses, including influenza, pneumonia, or bronchitis? That's why in 2020, the ATS called for a moratorium on the use of tear gas and other chemical agents. Learn more about the damage tear gas can do (via @WIRED): wired.com/story/what-tear-ga…

Thank you, Dan!

Dr. Edwin is a serious physician.

Huge congratulations to our president Prof Refiloe Masekela for receiving the #ATS2025 World Lung Health Award. 🙌🏾 This honor reflects your tireless work for lung health across Africa and beyond 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

For #FellowshipFriday, we wanted to highlight the experiences of our Iowa fellows. Last month, some of our Allergy/Immunology fellows traveled to San Diego and presented their work on food allergies, epinephrine in public schools, and interstitial lung disease. Well done!

Wisdom! The 5th last paragraph is the positioning.

There were three categories of students at Ntare school: Those who came from the villages of western Uganda and indeed looked like the village and were nick-named Nyanks; those who came from Kampala and surrounding areas and spoke good English and looked elite and told stories of programs on WBS Tv, and were referred to as Gs (or Entejika in the 80s and early 90’s); and then those who came from different other small towns across the country, the majority being from Mbarara and Bushenyi and had no special name because they seemed to be the standard students that should be in the school. The Nyanks were always mostly guys who had topped their former schools, prodigies of some sort. The students without a special name—the nameless ones, were mostly always among the best and top students in their former schools and districts. The Gs were mostly always students with good grades but not necessarily the best in their lot. Gs derived their confidence from the fact that they knew a lot about modern life and came from well-to-do families and were doing well academically. The nameless students were confident because they had a lot in common with most students in the school, knew the school well (most were from Mbarara), came from decent families and had always been among the top performers in their schools. The Nyanks were confident because they had always beaten everyone where they had come from and were revered in their village communities. Some would be well known and respected in their entire county. These three categories of young boys found themselves having to sleep in the same dormitories, study in the same classes, use and clean the same toilets and latrines, eat the same food seated on the same old wooden dining tables, vibe the same girls in Bweranyangi and Maryhill and sometime Ngabo and Mbaco, compete against each other in games and sports and academics, and learn from each other and in a few years you would hardly tell the Nyank from the G from the Nameless. In the end you had a group of young boys with different backgrounds who were none-the-less all confident of themselves and brilliant and clever, living together, learning from each other, forming bonds and in the end creating a peculiar collective character and a culture of their own that glued them together, indeed, glued generations even beyond school years. It’s this brotherhood, bond, confidence that borders on arrogance, passion, pride that you can’t buy. Someone was wrong when they said: you can have money but you can’t buy class and elegance. Class and elegance are subjective. They can in fact be borrowed, be faked and definitely be bought! Give a man a little money and some time and if he wishes, he will exude class and ooze elegance. It’s what stories of “from grass to grace” are made of. But what makes the @ntare_league community what it is can only come out of living through the peculiar random circumstances that seem to unfortunately only exist at Ntare school. Now, that’s something you can’t buy, fake or copy.

When stopped by traffic officers, it's crucial to understand your rights & procedures the officers must follow. 1. The officer must clearly explain the offense you've committed. 2. They must advise you of your option to contest the charge in court. 3. This explanation should occur while you're still in your vehicle. 4. The ticket is issued on the spot; ensure you receive your copy. 5. The officer is not expected to issue a ticked after you have left the scene. In case the officer issues you a ticked out of malice, discreetly record the interaction before the ticket is issued. Contact 0773815326 with your evidence to report the officer's misconduct. Be reminded that you have the right to respectful treatment and due process within the bounds of the law. @PoliceUg
