Bass Connections team members joined other global health researchers at Duke for the fifth annual Global Health Showcase on November 3. Undergraduates, graduate students and postdocs represented four Bass Connections project teams:

• Cookstoves and Air Pollution in Madagascar
• Environmental Epidemiology in Latin America
• Improving Neurosurgery Patient Outcomes in Uganda
• POCkeT Colposcope

Congratulations to Manish Nair ’17, who won first place in the Duke Global Health Institute’s poster contest for the Bass Connections category. His winning poster, Global Value Chain Analysis of the POCkeT Colposcope, draws on his research with the POCkeT Colposcope team.
