Bye Twitter 👋


Wow 😳

I knew there were a lot of fake accounts on this platform, but they are usually obvious. I had no idea how intricate and complex the ruse could be. Get a load of this story. 1/

Testing our memory, one byte at a time. 🖥️ 75 years ago today the CSIR Mk, later known as CSIRAC, ran its first test program. It was Australia’s first computer and only the 4th in the world! 📷 | CSIRAC with one of its creators, Trevor Pearcey, in 1952 #ThrowbackThursday

10 years ago today I walked out of the hospital after surviving Ebola. Back then I begged the world to strengthen our response to that crisis and prepare for others. I’ve been reflecting on what we’ve learned over the last decade. And the role of the U.S. in global health🧵

Australia's "vital signs" make one thing clear: climate change is impacting our land and oceans. Rising temperatures, more extreme heat, and worsening bushfire risks are already happening. 🗞️ | @GuardianAus theguardian.com/environment/20…

#Australia is pushing the limits of human habitability in some regions yet again. A fierce #heatwave is forecast to hit this week, with temperatures soaring above 40C in many areas. There's no #monsoon cloud cover as yet, so the north will be one of the hottest places on earth.

In the pre-vaccine era only half of all babies survived to their 1st birthday. Mostly, they perished from infections that we prevent today with vaccines. #VaccinesWork

People really need to stop saying vaccines don’t work. There is LOTS of evidence that they do, and millions of lives have been saved. It’s fine to say I have concerns about schedules and mandates, but denying clear data on efficacy makes further rational conversation difficult.🙏🏽
