Goats And Soda Readers: Take Our Survey

Xaver Xylophon for NPR

We launched this blog in the summer of 2014, when the Ebola outbreak in West Africa had just begun. We've been covering global health and development ever since — never so intensely as during the past year of the coronavirus pandemic.

So you've heard a lot from us. And now we'd like to hear from our readers.

Take the survey.

Tell us how you think we're doing. All it will take is a few minutes to fill out our survey. Thanks!
