Brilliant to see Australia doing so well on COVID19 testing. Thanks to all our scientists working around the clock @TheDohertyInst @unimelb @TheRMH and all our colleagues across the country!
Our latest work asks: How many tests for COVID-19 are being performed around the world? OurWorldInData.org/covid-tes… The chart compares the total number of tests performed per million people in a number of countries. Data for *many* more countries you find at the link above.

Good news! New quick test for COVID-19 approved. 15-minute test. 500,000 kits are due to land in Australia this week if all goes well with airfreight space, planes are able to land and they pass border control. A priority! #COVID19Aus

Many women have had unpleasant experiences with the vaginal speculum during pap tests. But few know that the speculum also has a history mired by racism and abusive practices. Something I penned for @DoctusProject #WomensHealthWeek doctusproject.com/2018/08/19…

This cannot be about blame, or shame. It must be about #policy action, focused on prevention. #auspol #health #qanda – at Geneva, Switzerland

A healthy reminder. We have added #sugar in many odd places. We can also remove it. #nutrition
