💜 Today is #PurpleDay, which aims to raise awareness of epilepsy. To mark the day, our Head of Department, Professor Kevin Talbot, interviewed Professor Arujne Sen, Director of the Oxford Martin Programme on Global Epilepsy and Chief Executive of the Centre for Global Epilepsy, about his career and why he chose to research epilepsy 👇 https://buff.ly/HfZ3mqt Oxford Martin School Centre for Global Epilepsy

💜 For #PurpleDay, we’re sharing insights from the Global Epilepsy Programme’s work on diagnosis and innovation. In many resource-poor settings, people living with epilepsy are unable to access appropriate treatment due to a lack of diagnostic tools and limited access to professionals. Data and AI-driven techniques, along with the development of more robust EEG machines, could support diagnosis in low- and middle-income countries where many people with epilepsy live. These approaches may help overcome the need for specialised equipment or expertise that is often unavailable.

💜 This #PurpleDay, we share the perspective of Dr. Gift Wilson Ngwende, a neurologist part of our Global Epilepsy Programme. “80% of people living with epilepsy are in low- to middle-income countries - yet they have the least access to anti-seizure medications.” Dr. Ngwende highlights the urgent need to: - Improve access to epilepsy care - Conduct targeted research into preventable causes, like birth trauma - Deepen understanding of SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy). Our programme is committed to closing these gaps and advancing global health equity.

💜 In honour of #PurpleDay, we’re amplifying voices from the Global Epilepsy Programme. Taurai Kadzviti, one of our partners in the field, highlights how epilepsy awareness—particularly in rural and underserved areas - can dispel dangerous myths and improve access to treatment. Epilepsy is a medical condition that can be treated with medication. With better education, cultural sensitivity, and collaboration with community leaders, we can reduce stigma and transform care for millions.

⭐This column investigates the effects of machine #translation on (1) employment and wages in the translation sector, and (2) the demand for foreign language skills across various jobs and industries. 🗣️Using variation in the use of machine translation across local labour markets in the US after the launch of the Google Translate mobile app, the authors find that areas with higher adoption of Google Translate experienced a decline in translator employment. 🔤The authors also show that improvements in machine translation have reduced the demand for foreign language skills in general.

🌍 Green jobs are the future—but how do we measure them? 🌱 Join us at the Skoll World Forum for an expert panel discussion on measuring green jobs, featuring leaders from academia, the private sector, and policymaking institutions. This conversation will explore: ✅ The challenges of defining green jobs across industries ✅ Why tracking these roles is vital for policy and corporate sustainability goals ✅ Cross-sector approaches to measuring their economic and environmental impact As economies transition toward sustainability and Net Zero commitments, accurately defining and tracking green jobs is more important than ever. These roles, spanning multiple industries, are critical for driving climate action, shaping policy, and guiding workforce development. But without clear metrics, how can we assess their true impact?
