@rayychan @CancerCareMASCC @fumikochino Their loss was our gain @rayychan !!

I was rejected by the Hong Kong educational system when I was 16. My score didn’t make the cut off to proceed to A-level (UK system). I then pursued education in Australia which changed my life #TweetYourRejection #medTwitter @CancerCareMASCC @fumikochino

@rayychan @CancerCareMASCC @Flinders Congratulations Ray! Well deserved. And in fine company with our very own Prof Dorothy Keefe @CEOCancerAus and Ian Olver. 🙌🙌🙌

It’s an absolute honour to be recognised as a Fellow of @CancerCareMASCC - my forever professional home where I develop my research, my impact and my lifelong friendships! #fearless @Flinders #survonc #supponc

@GingerGorman @devalara44 I’m 50 and it has gotten better as I’ve aged but I am a senior executive and I’m not taking any nonsense from anybody.

@devalara44 OK. So my follow-up question is this… how old are you now, and do you think this has gotten worse as you have gotten older? Thank you 🙏

Women and non-binary folks. Please raise your hand 🙋🏻‍♀️ if you have been told to shut up or talked over by a man. It can be online or irl. I’m just interested in how universal this experience is. This is question for my next book, Flying not Falling.

@GingerGorman I believe that would be all of us?

Congratulations to @CEOCancerAus Prof Dorothy Keefe, recipient of the 2024 Professor M. Tattersall Heroes Award! Presented at the 2024 MOGA ASM, this Award recognises contributions by medical oncologists that honour the spirit and commitment of the late Prof Martin Tattersall AO.

@callybeaton I once had a 5 minute argument with a man who insisted my name is Emma, (it’s Claire). Even with assistance from 3 colleagues, I was unable to convince him that I knew my own name.

Lifetime achievement mansplain alert: Arrived to give a speech. Holding slide had me down as Carry Beaton, so I said I was Cally, if they could change it. The guy said he’d been told it’s definitely Carry. I said no, it’s me - I’m Cally so it does need changing. He showed me an email he’d been sent to prove it really is Carry, not Cally. Even I began to wonder.

@samanthamaiden Try the middle eastern stores at Mawson shops

I have an Aleppo pepper question. There are a lot of US recipes strangely enough mentioning this but I don’t recall ever getting it in Oz or seeing it although I’m sure it’s here. Have you seen it and if so what do you do with it ? Does it have a different name & I’ve seen it

@annabelcrabb How meritorious, … do you have to be to…. render yourself invulnerable to the marauding incompetence of men who are paid better than you? In A Nutshell. Thank you.

Finally worked out what's been bugging me about the World Cup. Sat down to write and this came pouring out in about 45min. abc.net.au/news/2023-08-2…

@samanthamaiden I’ve given up and fallen back on the supermarket ones with ceramic teeth, preferably refillable.

OK. Pepper people. None of my pepper grinders are giving me joy. I want the best ever pepper grinder for Christmas. What are your thoughts ?

Sorry, but I completely admire her for this position (& her eloquence). The kind of feminist that schooled me in the 80s, for which I am forever grateful. Bravo, Nicola:

@KirstyWebeck Pattern down so you sleep between the pretty bits

Ryan Reynold's colonoscopy video advising people to get checked is going viral. But there are a few issues. Short🧵

@emilycmulligan I loved hot cucumber as a child. My favourite toasted sandwich. Children are weird.

Last night my 1yo daughter insisted I heat up her cucumber slices, demanding “hot cucumber”. This is so sickening to me I can’t stop thinking about it

@merrijackson67 Yes!

@SandroDemaio My daughter called it Deconstructed Margarita: fresh tomato soup with basil, and cheese toasties

What’s for dinner, team? We’re warming up with a pot full of veg — a quick and simple cassoulet. White beans, kale, carrots, onion and potato. Cooked with white wine. Served with loads of fresh parsley.

@betty_stal @BrianneKohl As a child, I thought God’s first name was Peter because we had to keep saying, “thanks Peter God”.

@BrianneKohl My mum was an infant school teacher. One of the kids thought God's actual name was Harold. As in "Our Father who art in heaven, Harold be thy name." 🤣

My 8yo daughter met a girl at summer camp last year named "Internet." I said no way, that can't be her name but my daughter has been adamant. For almost a year we've been having this discussion. ANTOINETTE. I just found out her name is Antoinette.
