It’s great to have Mark back to China and meet with our partners.

If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.

I am excited to be here in Beijing alongside @GatesFoundation staff who are dedicated to supporting our mission of creating a healthier, safer world for all. In this moment of great global need, China has an essential role to play in helping create strong, lasting global solutions.

During my visit to China over the past two days, I’ve seen first-hand some of the innovations that could contribute to global progress. https://t.co/Zl2thYUFuv

Had my very first visit to the foundation’s Seattle Campus. Arrive curious. Leave inspired. Indeed!

My favorite podcast of the year as a big fan of astronomy. AMAZING! Wish I could go to Kenya and observe the beautiful night sky through the traveling telescope….

[BBC World Service @bbcworldservice]

The Travelling Telescope aims to get people across Africa passionate about astronomy and exploring the night sky.

Hear stories from those who have gathered around it to share the awe and wonder of the Universe

On the train from Suzhou back to Beijing. BEAUTIFUL!

With the China CDC, Duke Kunshan University and University of CAS, we ran the 3rd vaccinology course with early year professionals. A pleasant and meaningful gathering！

China has announced an initiative to establish a Kunming biodiversity fund & committed to investing RMB 1.5 billion to support biodiversity protection in developing countries. #COP15 Leaders’ Summit

Exciting news indeed! An incredible milestone. Truly life changing for those who need the vaccine. Here is to the impact of years of #research and #innovation efforts by many!

[Philip Welkhoff @philipwelkhoff]

Exciting to see the impact of innovation in the fight against #malaria! This vaccine is an important step forward, as we continue to innovate and partner until we achieve a malaria-free world. https://t.co/hsfp2WT1la

Right behind the building blocks in the ancient town in Chongqing, I accidentally ran into a tiny plants exhibition curated by a couple of young folks. Felt their passion for plants and seed conservation. Dozens of teenagers have volunteered to be the guides. Isn’t it amazing!

[Grace Lang @GraceLinLang]

The Hutong walks on a lovely Autumn day in Beijing are SO refreshing! Just look at the colours…The early morning greetings with the familiar strong local “er” accent are charming and warm!

[Grace Lang @GraceLinLang]

A pleasant surprise revisiting the Global Health Drug Discovery Institute since my last visit two years ago. Looks amazing! Never easy to set up brand new partnerships across sectors and borders but efforts are worthwhile. Started picturing what GHDDI might look like in 10 years!

[Grace Lang @GraceLinLang]

Successfully co-organized an exciting event with international experts sharing best practices on the control and prevention of infectious diseases at the Zhongguancun Forum in Beijing attended by the top leadership. Tech for good with a global vision is the new theme in China.
