On the first day of the conference, we arrived early because of presidential security requirements. A group of traditional dancers greeted us at the conference center. The Malian President Amadou Toure inaugurated the forum. I had the chance to shake his hand while he was walking by the poster session!
The "Young Voices in Research for Health" session was scheduled for late afternoon. Richard Horton, Editor-in-Chief of the Lancet, was in charge of introducing each of us. I prepared a short presentation on my essay titled "The dismantling of public health infrastructure: a natural disaster?"
Here is a group picture of the "Young Voices" 2008 cohort!
