The world is a LOT better for children than it was 50 years ago. ourworldindata.org/child-mortal...
Plot of child mortality (deaths before the age of 5) in 1970 and 2022 for the US, the EU, China, Africa as a whole, and many individual countries. In all cases child mortality has significantly decreased. DR Congo went from 24.9% in 1970 to 7.6% in 2022; China from 11.3% to 0.7%; the US from 2.3% down to 0.6%. Australia and the EU are currently lowest at 0.4%. Source: Our world in data https://ourworldindata.org/child-mortality-global-goal

I was sorry to hear from the SIAM UKIE twitter account about the death of Nick Higham, a great numerical analyst and former president of SIAM. I didn't know him well, but he seemed like a very good person, and I learned a great deal from his books and his blogs.
