Until a few weeks ago the thought of getting malaria had never crossed my mind as I'm fortunate to live in a US city where malaria is not a problem. Even when I travel to tropical areas like my parents' home country of Panama where mosquitoes eat me alive, I'm not worried as malaria is no longer present in that part of the country. This is a stark contrast to my recent trip with Malaria No More UK to Ghana, West Africa, where malaria affects the entire population of 24 million people and is a leading cause of death amongst young children. The charity has released a short film today about my trip - I went to learn as much as I could about malaria and the work happening to make sure every home in the country has a mosquito net by the end of this year.

The UN estimates more than 30,000 children were abducted and forced to become soldiers in Kony's militia. We interviewed survivors: a young woman, kidnapped when she was eight, forced to cut the head off a little boy who was her neighbor and then carry his head around all day.

Many liberals, myself included, have long harbored some sympathy for Ron Paul. I suspect that this is not only because of his refusal to follow the neo-conservatives on issues like civil liberties, but also because the man, like a squirrel, has always seemed so very harmless.

"(Finding the) Higg's boson": the elusive particle and the search for it has become so popular among scientists that it is now a recurring theme in scientific in-jokes but, more seriously, the Higg's boson is (if you haven't yet been told a hundred times), the "missing piece" of the Standard Model of Particles, the not-yet-observed particle responsible for the mass of matter, and so it is little wonder that its discovery would cause quite a stir...

As part of my job, I frequently come into contact with people who have used first aid and been the difference between a life lost and a life saved. It's a regular reminder that first aid is not all about sticking on a plaster - it's about saving lives, every day.
