		<description><![CDATA[Everyone knows Bill Gates loves vaccines. Yet few seem to appreciate just how revolutionary and accidental is this love affair. Promoting this powerful, fundamental tool for children's health may look these days like the obvious humanitarian thing for a philanthropist to do. But it wasn't either obvious or that celebrated when the Bill &#038; Melinda Gates Foundation started down this path in the 1990s.  <a href="http://www.humanosphere.org/2013/05/bill-gates-humanitarian-plan-for-world-vaccination-domination/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

Toyama is a renowned computer scientist and expert in computer-human visual interactions.

		<description><![CDATA[Like most TED talks, it was fun with a lot of broad and encouraging statements without too many complicating details. The webcast itself was 'negatively disrupted' (lots of jokes on Twitter about this) when the TED live stream dropped just as Melinda was making her opening statements. It was restored minutes later.

Of all the featured speakers, there may be no better examples of positive disruptors than 14-year-old Sikha Patra and 15-year-old Salim Shekh, along with their revolutionary Bengali community activist and mentor Amlan Ganguly. Salim and Sikha spoke with Melinda at the event. I talked with them earlier. <a href="http://www.humanosphere.org/2013/04/positive-disruptors-revolutionary-optimists-in-seattle/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

At least, that seems to be the gist of one request for a grant application from the world's largest philanthropy as part of its Grand Challenges Explorations program. One of the goals for this round is to develop a better condom - and by better they basically mean a condom that doesn't suck. <a href="http://www.humanosphere.org/2013/03/gates-foundation-wants-to-make-safe-sex-more-fun/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

The call for better measurement and evaluation within the aid and development community is popular, but hardly new.
