This week we’ve published three articles on the human epigenome, advice for those considering an intercalated BSc and an ethical dilemma.  Steve Cockburn, from End Water Poverty, has a blog on the different campaigns worldwide calling for improved water and sanitation to be a priority on the global agenda.  Many of the people who have the resources available to make it a priority in practice will be meeting in Japan early next week.  In spite of the fact that it seems that when it comes to the G8 agenda, the issue of oil floats on water, we’re still quietly hopeful that some gains for global health will be made at the summit.  Keep an eye on The Lancet for the response to the G8 and, in the meantime, have a look westwards at the first in a series of blogs -until November 4th- on the American election.  Lots of material for your forthcoming articles on Power, Politics and Global Health!  

For more information on what’s in this week’s issue of The Lancet please see here and have a great weekend.
