How Ray Suarez Really Caught the Global Health Bug (Gates Foundation)

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has been spending $3 billion annually on "global health" since its foundation in 1994 and there's been quite a bit of concern about how this money translates into influence.

E.g. it richly funds malaria research, dollars which are hard to come by otherwise, and I remember speculation that this could be or has been used to curtail FOSS deployments at universities where some of their researchers are receiving such funding.
