Eddie you have contributed so much to both #Australia & the world - I’m sad I was never able to meet you live due to COVID, however your Ted talks and books got me through a few low times and for that I am forever grateful. RIP to to the Happiest Man on Earth @SydJewishMuseum

Time and time again these people flood the streets shouting for “freedom” when all these protests achieve is extending lockdown due to risk of a superspreader event. Next time don’t ruin it for the rest of us and email your local MP. #MelbourneProtest #COVIDIDIOTS

Also to these protestors, seriously check your privilege - this very week we’ve seen the horrors of people who truly want freedom in Afghanistan, & other examples such as refugee detainee conditions. How can these people see all that and still unironically talk about “freedom”??

Just no words 🤦‍♂️...not only is this massively irresponsible, the longer this type of protest occurs the longer we will likely be kept in lockdown......

Big shoutout to @secretlabchairs #customerservice; bought myself this chair for both #ergonomics + @DCBatman study-inspo a few weeks ago. Initial chair had a small visual defect on the backrest, & the customer-service team quite promptly express posted a new one! #Batman #omega🦇

Grateful to be working in the #Australian healthcare system, where we have the advantage of preparedness. Here's hoping the #NHS, and other similar health systems can weather the storm. Article on NHS's public health missteps in the handling of #COVID19: thelancet.com/journals/lance…
A/Prof Alan Sandford at the @Austin_Health #COVID19 Medical Practitioner Webinar: “There are 3 current epidemics/pandemics: 1) The virus (SARS-CoV2/COVID19) 2) Misinformation 3) Fear” #healthcare #medicine #pandemic #StayAtHome
There has been a lot of conjecture surrounding the efficacy of terminology regarding #socialdistancing for #COVID19 / #coronavirus. This is a great example on #direct #communication seen on Reddit by user u/Hybrid_UX_Research:

It was a honour speaking at last night’s #AdvanceAwards19 about my experience of being mentored by Prof @davidasinclair and tips for upcoming mentees. Great seeing @Advance upping its scope and continuing its vision to “repatriate knowledge”
Thank you past Mentee Dr @sumuduperera_ for being here #AdvanceAwards19 stage tonight!

Amazing to see how our friends in #India are able to tackle the logistical puzzle of attempting to serve 900million+ voters during the largest #democratic #election in the world + the goal of every citizen being within 2 km of a voting booth! #lessons youtube.com/watch?v=RWldvqO4…
Excited about #EPIC #EMR’s rollout today at @TheRMH! With an aim of inter-connectivity between the whole #MelbourneHealth precinct, exciting months ahead! Keep a look-out for Green-Super User vests for help during the rollout period #health #medicine #technology #digitalhealth

My heart goes out to my brothers and sisters in Sri Lanka (and all foreigners unfortunately caught in the bloodshed). Sad and infuriating to see terrorism strike once again in our beautiful country. #RIP #SriLanka 🇱🇰

My deepest condolences to Preethi's friends and family. Shocking, vile and sad. Another innocent woman killed on her way home. RIP 🙁

It is with sadness that I hear about the passing of legendary diplomat, Nobel Peace Prize recipient and Former #UnitedNations Secretary General #KofiAnnan. It was an honor seeing and hearing your wisdom live a couple of years ago during my #WHO internship. RIP. @UN @WHO
