Did you know that 1 in 4 Sri Lankan adults have diabetes, and nearly a third of them remain undiagnosed? Take control of your health with early detection and management. Get your sugar checked! #DiabetesAwareness #HealthyLiving #EarlyDetection #lka
Excited to share our new paper published by BMJ @DiabetesRC showing Sri Lanka has one of the highest rates of diabetes in the world. It has taken much hard work by SLHAS researchers @ihplk, the universities of Colombo, Peradeniya, Ruhuna, KDU and the MRI drc.bmj.com/content/11/1/e…
For the first time in Sri Lanka's political history, 19 women hv been elected to Parliament purely based on merit. They are not widows or daughters of male political figures. They are the women who were among us in our own circles ! Congratulations all ! 2/1 #women #SriLanka
Dr. Harini Amarasuriya, NPP's Prime Ministerial candidate, makes history in the Colombo district with over 655,289 preferential votes—the highest ever for a single parliamentary candidate in Sri Lanka!
Summary statistics from every #GenElecSL & #PresPollSL this millennium. It looks like we might see the lowest turnout since #GenElecSL2010. #Rejected vote counts would also be interesting. For more historical statistics, see nuuuwan.github.io/lk_elections/ 🇱🇰 #SriLanka #LKA…
More than 445 million people living with diabetes across the world have no access to life saving medication, a study in the Lancet has warned: telegraph.co.uk/global-health/… @TelGlobalHealth
As few as 7% of countries have standalone plans or strategies to tackle cardiovascular disease. Help us send a powerful message to our leaders to take comprehensive action against CVD.
What kind of childhood makes a top scientist? Is it enough to have all the right traits (brilliance, grit, etc) or do you need the right family too? And why should we care? A 🧵 on our paper on the Nobel Laureates. A teaser: the income distribution of the laureates' fathers.1/N
The Publish or Perish Game is a humorous party game about academic publishing. Players race to publish manuscripts with useless nonsense while sabotaging each other's research and delivering "very helpful" comments, Reviewer 2 style.
🎉 New SLHAS study led by @Minimalneg and colleagues reports that #SriLankans with undiagnosed chronic diseases have poorer physical and mental health outcomes and greater healthcare use. doi.org/10.1186/s44263… #NCD #chronicdisease #SriLanka
The Avinya Foundation @avinya_f is pleased to announce our new program: A 11-month "Work Study Scholarship" where the students will get 3 certifications at the end (TVEC Level 3 Customer Service, City & Guilds Level 3 (equal to AL) Front Office Services and Avinya Empower…

The phishing SMSs continue, but it’s nice to see people saving these numbers as scammers, and it’s visible through Truecaller.
Got an sms asking me to check a delivery address. It directed me to a website with a URL beginning with sri-lankan-package.com. It looks like a Sri Lanka Post website but the URL just doesn’t look legitimate. It asked for my contact details, and the next page requests a payment.
My debut picture book is out today! Thank you so much to the entire team behind getting this book out, and esp @MaithiliJoshi16 who did such an amazing job in bringing Divya and Selvi to life 😊
Congratulations @thushponweera! Can’t wait to read it!
MY BEST FRIEND'S BANGLES has been selected as a @JrLibraryGuild Gold Selection! This story of two little girls, whose mothers work overseas and whose friendship is tested when only one mother returns, is out June 11th! @MaithiliJoshi16
Thank you @BioMedCentral for piloting country-tiered APCs (article processing charges) - Sri Lankan researchers can publish for free under this pilot in one of their journals. More info on country specific charges and their journals are here: springernature.com/gp/open-resear…
Friends in Sri Lanka, if you were showing a visitor around Colombo, what would a perfect day entail?

How mad is UK infrastructure (outside London)? I'll tell you. A friend lost her job before Xmas. She has no car - never needed one before. But now she does, cos there are no jobs nearby. She just landed a job. In a car, it's 12 mins away. By public transport, almost 3 hours.
Just sharing that the British Council is giving access to their online library for 5k a year. It includes movies, books audiobooks magazines, and concerts. To me, being able to read Economist Readers Digest and Newsweek makes it worth it. I think its great value for money.
I Am Kavi is now available at @LakmahalLibrary for anyone in SL who would like to read it! Seeing it on that shelf next to all the other books by Lankan authors makes my heart so happy. I hope you get a chance to read it soon! 🥰
