<div dir="ltr">Hi Stace,<div><font color="#000000" face="HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:16px">Glad to meet you. I am Ahasan from Dhaka Bangladesh, I am here expanding the OSM in Bangladesh and trying to build up OSM community for about two years. I have been providing OSM training to a lot of university and college students, NGO workers and Govt officials to pupularize OSM. Here the volunteers are enthusiastic, dynamic. They want more and more field based practice what can be possible only with a organized initiative. As example the Opencity Dhaka project of world bank where about 30 students <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/257375894#map=16/23.7166/90.4084">mapped</a> <br></span></font><div><font color="#000000" face="HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:16px">three wards of old dhaka city and a recent Missing Maps Project in <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/257375894#map=16/23.7380/90.3690">Hazaribagh</a> and <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/257375894#map=16/23.7380/90.3690">KamrangirChar</a> sub district what were coordinated by Pete Masters and Jorieke Vyncke. By two weeks time about 20-30 volunteers completed field based survey to map these area. </span></font></div></div><div><font color="#000000" face="HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:16px"><br></span></font></div><div><font color="#000000" face="HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:16px">Glad to know that you want to commence a mapping in Kendua upazila of Netrokona. I think its possible to do with our OSM mappers here. Please visit our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/152627941462625/">OSM Bangladesh face book group</a> where you would see our activities.

Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Lucida Grande',sans-serif;background-color:#ffffff">Diarrheal disease is the second leading cause of death among children under 5 years of age globally. We are specifically interested in the diarrheal disease cholera because of the devastating impact the disease has on at-risk populations and the emerging opportunities to leverage mobile technology to overcome fundamental clinical, epidemiologic, and scientific challenges. Despite effective treatments and advances in provider education, cholera case fatality rates remain unacceptably high. Conventional methods have been unable to overcome barriers to provide patients timely access to care in resource-poor settings. This is especially true early in outbreaks because response teams are slow to mobilize and cholera can infect, transmit and kill in less than 20 hours. Our research challenge is to take an unconventional approach to develop a new method using mobile technology to identify outbreak clusters early, improve care, and advance our basic understanding of the disease. The specific aims of this project are to (i) develop mobile technology for clinical decision support and real-time epidemiology, (ii) test the mobile-technology and determine microbial correlates to disease progression at the hospital level, and (iii) test the mobile-technology and determine microbial correlates to disease progression at the community level. We chose to develop and test this strategy in partnership with the Ministry of Health of Bangladesh at a site with high cholera morbidity and relatively high mortality. We anticipate this NIH funded research will provide an exciting cross-departmental forum for collaboration and training, as well as a pathway to discovery that will directly benefit populations inflicted with diseases like cholera. </span><br clear="none" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Lucida Grande',sans-serif;background-color:#ffffff"><br clear="none" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Lucida Grande',sans-serif;background-color:#ffffff"><span style="font-family:HelveticaNeue,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Lucida Grande',sans-serif;background-color:#ffffff">Eric Jorge Nelson, MD PhD </span><br clear="none" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Lucida Grande',sans-serif;background-color:#ffffff"><span style="font-family:HelveticaNeue,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Lucida Grande',sans-serif;background-color:#ffffff">Pediatric Global Health Physician Scientist Instructor, </span><br clear="none" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Lucida Grande',sans-serif;background-color:#ffffff"><span style="font-family:HelveticaNeue,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Lucida Grande',sans-serif;background-color:#ffffff">Division of Infectious Diseases Department of Pediatrics, </span><br clear="none" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Lucida Grande',sans-serif;background-color:#ffffff"><span style="font-family:HelveticaNeue,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Lucida Grande',sans-serif;background-color:#ffffff">Stanford University School of Medicine </span><br clear="none" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Lucida Grande',sans-serif;background-color:#ffffff"><span style="font-family:HelveticaNeue,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Lucida Grande',sans-serif;background-color:#ffffff">Email: </span><a shape="rect" href="mailto:eric.nelson.mdphd@gmail.com" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Lucida Grande',sans-serif;background-color:#ffffff" target="_blank">eric.nelson.mdphd@gmail.com</a><span style="font-family:HelveticaNeue,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Lucida Grande',sans-serif;background-color:#ffffff"> </span><br clear="none" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Lucida Grande',sans-serif;background-color:#ffffff"><span style="font-family:HelveticaNeue,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Lucida Grande',sans-serif;background-color:#ffffff">Telephone: </span><a href="tel:%28857%29-492-2174" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Lucida Grande',sans-serif;background-color:#ffffff" target="_blank">(857)-492-2174</a><span style="font-family:HelveticaNeue,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Lucida Grande',sans-serif;background-color:#ffffff"> </span><br clear="none" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Lucida Grande',sans-serif;background-color:#ffffff"><span style="font-family:HelveticaNeue,'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Lucida Grande',sans-serif;background-color:#ffffff">Address: Beckman B241, School of Medicine, Stanford, California 94305-5323 </span></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><span name="x"></span><p style="margin:0px"><br>In F,L&T,<br>Stace Maples <br>Geospatial Manager <br>Stanford Geospatial Center <br>@mapninja <br>staceymaples@G+</p><p style="margin:0px">Get GeoHelp: <a href="https://gis.stanford.edu/" target="_blank">https://gis.stanford.edu/</a></p><p style="margin:0px">"I have a map of the United States... actual size. <br>It says, "Scale: 1 mile = 1 mile." <br>I spent last summer folding it." <br>-Steven Wright-</p><span name="x"></span><br></div></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>
