We came across some doozies this week as we sniffed around the Twittersphere in our search for the best of the best.
We learned that free’s not always a good thing; it’s possible for Bill Gates to give away EVEN MORE money; and Panama leads the world in “well-being.” Again. (We were well-schocked.)
We came across pundits on hobby horses and TED talks on antibiotics, and discovered along the way that impact investing’s tent ?has grown so big, even the White House has taken notice.
We invite your to be our tour guide ?on ?next week?’s journey?; send your favorite tweets @NextBillion or NB managing editor @ScotterAnderson, as well as global health topics to @NextBillionHC and financial inclusion and impact investing topics to @NextBillionFI.
