It’s not that they’re shocking, in the sense that of course we’d expect more people to be living in temperate/tropical latitudes than in the Arctic, given availability of resources to support human settlements (at least until the development of modern conveniences...Expand this post »

To combat the rise of counterfeit and fake anti-malaria medicines in Africa, governments of various African countries are implementing a system where users can scan a small label under the medicine's cap, which will be analyzed by a central server, and send a text back to the user saying "OK" for genuine products.
