@NoLGBTYScharter @LiangRhea Care to be a bit more specific 🙄🥱?

@LiangRhea Unlike the comeback you received in your other thread, which you continue to ignore. Right.

Starting the Aussie day with a med ed community of practice exploring the gap between teaching and learning and someone goes 'look at the US, decades of civics ed and there are still people surprised when electoral choices actually impact their lives' No-one had any comeback. 😥

@DrNeilStone @MomoStJohn Are they any different to public transport, shopping centres or sporting venues though?

I'm a microbiologist and just see cruise ships as giant Petri dishes

@simonmaechling Hi!

I’m not a bot. I’m a chemist. I’m a human with a PhD in Chemistry, trying to talk about science. My goal is simple, make people smarter, not angrier. Science, explained clearly. I swear this place is full of bots. If you are a human too, drop a “Hi” so I can get to know you.

@drkeithsiau Hope you get better soon!

This is my swollen ankle - started this weekend and needed crutches to do my ward round. Glad to have made it to Milan, but I’m now paying the price! PS what’s my diagnosis? 😂

@drkeithsiau Mine was a ruptured posterior tibial tendon. Not. Fun.

@Dr_Chris_Twine It’s glacier-level slow though. And needs everyone to call it out.

@MichJak It's a matter of time

Medical students and doctors: Drop your worst ward round roasting moment. The time a senior absolutely destroyed you in front of everyone. I'll start: Couldn't answer a question. Senior looked at me and said, "Loosen your tie. It's cutting off blood supply to your brain."

@dieworkwear @GongGasGirl Oh Derek. Lighten up!

I think "fun socks" should be used judiciously, as a lot of what's worn today feels more childish than whimsical. IMO, most men should avoid them entirely. But if you insist on wearing them, here are some suggestions on how to make them look less bad. 🧵

@wine_x13 I absolutely hate virtual group assignments.

Just read now! I just ruined three people's grades, and one is losing their scholarship. Am I wrong for this? I was in a 4-person group project worth 40% of our final grade. From week 2, I was doing EVERYTHING: research, slides, speaker notes. My teammates just kept responding 'sounds good' and contributing absolutely nothing. I documented every single unread receipt and empty contribution log. I even warned them TWICE, in writing, about the consequences. We still got an A on the project But then I sent the professor all the documentation and asked for individual grading. I kept my A. Two dropped to Cs. The third? Their grade dropped below the threshold and they're losing their scholarship. But what would you have done when they did nothing all semester?

@Idontgive2u How old are you?

Anonyme: Ma mère est à la retraite et a pas mal d'économies, mais au lieu de m'aider à rembourser mes dettes de carte de crédit, elle dépense de l'argent pour des voyages en Europe et des croisières. Elle dit qu'elle "profite enfin de la vie", mais qu'en est-il de ma vie ? J'ai des difficultés financières, et elle regarde tranquillement tout en sirotant des cocktails sur une plage. Les parents sont censés soutenir leurs enfants, pas les abandonner pour des vacances. Réponse de la mère : "Chérie, j'ai travaillé toute ma vie, j'ai économisé soigneusement et je me suis privée de luxes pour que tu aies tout ce dont tu avais besoin. Maintenant que je peux enfin profiter du monde, tu t'attends à ce que je mette tes erreurs financières avant mon bonheur ? Je t'aime, mais je ne vais pas dépenser ma retraite à te dépanner pendant que je reste à la maison. Tu es adulte maintenant, il est temps que tu te tiennes debout toute seule."

@ptite_jiu @Idontgive2u No you don’t.

@jasonllevin Start the yeast blooming.

If Donald Trump was having a heart attack, and you had 5 minutes to save him, what kind of sandwich would you make?

@torontobaddy Can he actually read?!

This is the most unrealistic image. Trump? Reading? 🤣

@ShaunLintern And who are the 80% remaining?

A fifth of all GMC cases heard at tribunals last year related to sexual misconduct by doctors. In one study a quarter of the cases had a more lenient sanction than the GMC wanted - meaning doctors guilty of sexual misconduct are allowed to return to work.

@TaraBull Pay the staff a living wage then! How embarrassing for the employer to openly display just how little they pay/value their staff.

"If you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to dine out." Thoughts?

@DrNeilStone Yes!

If..(when)..the next viral pandemic hits And a proven mRNA vaccine comes out for it Will you take it? I will

@maffygirl Indeed. But I have broken the cycle - I hope - and raised 3 incredible humans who sent me Mother’s Day wishes and goodies all the way from Australia (we are in Portugal!). My children are awesome and I love them to the moon and back.

Happy Australian Mothers Day to all who celebrate, to those for whom it is difficult big hugs. These days can be happy or sad and to all I send a big hug. It’s ok to not be ok xx Not all of us had kind mothers. #happymothersday

@drkeithsiau Oh Keith - it’s called ART.

The designer should really resit anatomy class 😅

@simonmaechling Patient asked me if ketamine contained peptides or mRNA (I suggested using for pain management) 🤦‍♀️

I’m a chemist. I need to say this - because it’s getting dangerous out there. It’s called chemophobia. And it’s turning scientifically illiterate panic into a personality trait. People are now terrified of: • “artificial chemicals” • molecules made in a lab • pesticides at parts-per-billion • ingredients they can’t pronounce Meanwhile they drink alcohol, inhale smoke, burn fuel, eat plant toxins and scroll on phones built entirely by chemistry. The hypocrisy is unbelievable. Chemistry is not some dark force attacking humanity. Chemistry is: • medicine • fertilizers • vaccines • materials • electronics • clean water • food preservation • modern agriculture • literally your own body Without chemistry, modern civilization collapses frighteningly fast. And yet social media has convinced millions of people that “chemical-free” is a meaningful scientific concept. It isn’t. And when fear replaces chemistry, people stop trusting: • vaccines
• medicines
• food safety
• crop protection
• innovation itself A scientifically illiterate society becomes easy to manipulate. So yes - I will keep defending chemistry. Because chemistry is not the enemy. Chemistry is the reason most of us are alive long enough to complain about it.

@MollyJongFast Dying being the operative word here.

Just what the American people long for …..
