    Water and women were common themes among the blog’s most popular posts last month.

    On the aquatic front, USAID launched a new water and conflict toolkit, guest contributor Cameron Harrington took on the concept of impending “water wars,” and Keith Schneider introduced the “Choke Point: India” project.

    Meanwhile, ECSP and GSRP Director Roger-Mark De Souza celebrated Earth Day (and his first anniversary here) by pointing out the importance of women to urban sustainability, guest contributor Valerie Hudson broke down new research on the relationship between gender ratios and violence, and the Maternal Health Initiative explored the role of universal health coverage in a post-MDG world.

    Last but not least, Wilson Center Scholar Louise Lief explained her new Science and the Media Project – if you’re a journalist, sign up to participate on her site.
