We’ve got plenty of tweets in this “Valentine’s Day Weekend” edition of our weekly Top Ten. And we’ve even thrown in a holiday-themed tweet just for the occasion – a great example of behavioral science humor (yes, there is such a thing). Be sure to click on the #behavioralvalentines and #developmentvalentines hashtags for many more.
Beyond that, we’ve got tweets covering everything from the ongoing debate over microcredit to the (hopeful) winding down of an epidemic, along with some promising new initiatives and provocative conversations.
In the coming week, please tweet us direcly if you have a candidate for next week’s list. Whether it’s eye-popping or thought-provoking, sobering or amusing, we’re grateful for your suggestions. Tweet general social enterprise topics to @NextBillion or NB managing editor @ScotterAnderson, global health topics to @NextBillionHC, and financial inclusion and impact investing topics to @NextBillionFI.
