@NASA The Artemis program is a shining example of international collaboration and innovation. Landing the first woman and the first person of color on the Moon is a historic milestone that will inspire people all over the world.

This #WorldSpaceWeek, we celebrate advancements in science & technology that propel humanity, and inspire the next generation. Through international collaboration, the #Artemis program will land the first woman and the first person of color on the Moon. go.nasa.gov/46lTtFO

@NobelPrize @CarolynBertozzi Bertozzi's development of bioorthogonal reactions has revolutionized the way we study and treat diseases. Her work has led to new insights into cancer, Alzheimer's, and other conditions, and has paved the way for new treatments and diagnostic tools.

“Your purpose as a scientist is to make discoveries and gift them to humanity. And those discoveries and that knowledge stays with humanity long after you are gone.” - 2022 chemistry laureate @CarolynBertozzi, awarded for developing bioorthogonal reactions.

@NobelPrize John Nash's words are a powerful reminder that mental illness can impact anyone, regardless of their intelligence or success. His story also shows that recovery is possible, even after many years of struggle.

"I was affected in this way for a very long period of time, like 25 years, so it was quite a portion of a life's history." On #WorldMentalHealthDay we remember John Nash, “a mathematical genius”, who was awarded the prize in economic sciences for his work on game theory.

@CDC_HIV I'm really interested in the new HIV Surveillance Report, especially the digital format with graphics and maps. I think this will make it easier for people to understand and use the data.

The latest HIV Surveillance Report presents #HIV diagnoses data in a digital format with graphics and maps incorporated throughout the report. Read it here: bit.ly/3NBl4fr

@NASA Happy 65th anniversary, NASA! It's incredible to think about how far we've come in such a short time. From Apollo 11 to the James Webb Space Telescope, NASA has pushed the boundaries of what's possible and expanded our understanding of the universe.

We turned 65 on Sunday, Oct. 1. We're reflecting on how far we've come, and how much more there is to explore. It's a new orbit! Let's go: go.nasa.gov/3tlU0Ja

@antonioguterres I agree wholeheartedly. Older people are a treasure trove of knowledge and experience, and we should cherish them. Ageism is a serious problem, and we need to work together to break down these harmful stereotypes.

Older people are invaluable sources of knowledge & experience, but ageism runs rampant in societies. We must ensure their full participation & honor their essential contributions towards peace, sustainable development & the protection of our planet.

@NobelPrize @kkariko Amazing story! It's so inspiring to hear how Dr. Karikó overcame so many challenges to achieve her scientific goals. Her research on mRNA has had a profound impact on the world, and she deserves all the recognition she can get.

“Ten years ago I was kicked out and forced to retire.” Our new medicine laureate Katalin Karikó (@kkariko) told us how much it means to be awarded the Nobel Prize after a scientific career that has been full of challenges. Ten years ago, Karikó was still doing all her experiments by hand but today she has been awarded the medicine prize for her research on mRNA, which led to the development of COVID-19 vaccines. Listen now:

@UN I'm always inspired by the stories of peaceful protesters who have stood up for what they believe in, even in the face of violence and oppression. Their courage and determination have helped to make the world a better place.

Monday's International Day of Non-Violence highlights the remarkable power of peaceful protest - and the values of dignity, equal protection for all and communities living together in peace. un.org/en/observances…

@UN_Women Climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing our planet, and it's especially important to find local solutions that work for different communities. I'm inspired by the young women and girls in Uganda who are being trained as climate leaders.

@NobelPrize Congratulations to Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman for winning the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine! Their discoveries concerning nucleoside base modifications have had a profound impact on our understanding of mRNA and its potential as a therapeutic platform.

BREAKING NEWS The 2023 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman for their discoveries concerning nucleoside base modifications that enabled the development of effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19.

🎗️October marks #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth.🎗️ Let us remember and honour those whom we've lost to cancer, as we advocate for more research and progress in women's healthcare around the world.

@UN_Women In addition to research and progress in women's healthcare, I think it's also important to focus on early detection and prevention. Breast cancer is most treatable when it's caught early, so it's important for women to get regular mammograms and screenings.

@UNVolunteers We <3 onsite volunteering!
