A photograph of protesters holding up signs at the stand up for science protest in Boston
The image presents “5 Global Diabetes Coverage Targets (DCT) for 2030” with the following key goals, each represented by icons: 1. 80% of people with diabetes are diagnosed – icon showing a black glucose monitor on round red background. 2. 80% with diagnosed diabetes have good glycaemic control – icon depicting a black blood drop on round orange background. 3. 80% with diagnosed diabetes have good blood pressure control – icon of a black heart on round green background. 4. 60% with diagnosed diabetes and 40 years or older receive statins – icon of a black pill on round blue background. 5. 100% with type 1 diabetes have access to affordable insulin and blood glucose self-monitoring – icon of a black syringe on round purple background. The image uses a background of light orange with bold, black text for clarity.
The picture shows a page of the "I can be a curious scientist" children's book. On the top of the page, it reads"Can you make discoveries like Marie? Follow the right path to find the Nobel Prize!". Below is a picture of Marie Curie and a "find-the-right-path" riddle, where the right path leads to the Nobel Prize, two others lead to beakers, and one leads to something that looks like three ice cream scoops.
