@ZilizopendwaA @gacikiraMD They do a background check, give it to them instead of lying.

Kenya's El Niño Preparedness Plan 2026–2027

Climate forecasters have confirmed a 97–98% probability of El Niño conditions persisting from mid-2026 through early 2027, the highest forecast confidence on record (IRI/NOAA).
We shouldnt be caught unprepared this time.

The influencer telling you to distrust your doctor has no liability if they are wrong.

Your physician does.

That asymmetry matters. It should factor into who you listen to.

This standing ovation totally brought me to tears.

On Thursday, my dad (stage 4 pancreatic cancer) started a Revolution Medicine trial building upon these results — RMC 5127, which uses the drug celebrated here, Daraxonrasib, with another drug targeting his specific KRAS mutation, G12V.

He’s nearly 2 years into his fight with pancreatic cancer and we have personally felt the impact of this watershed moment. It is a lifeline.

To the incredible, stalwart, brilliant researchers and folks bringing these discoveries to life - thank you. Thank you thank you thank you.

[Yüksel Ürün @DrYukselUrun]

This is not simply a new pancreatic cancer drug.

It is a reminder that even “undruggable” biology can become treatable with persistence.

Daraxonrasib doubled median OS vs chemotherapy in RAS G12 metastatic pancreatic cancer: 13.2 vs 6.6 months.
A remarkable ASCO moment.

[Samuel Hume @DrSamuelBHume]

One of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen: a standing ovation for the full Daraxonrasib results

I feel inspired and energised, to put it mildly — we have a targeted therapy for pancreatic cancer now, and nothing is undruggable anymore

I’m in love with this sentence:

For years I've been complaining about your pricing for my books

I can't tell you what to price your stock, but if you overprice my books don't tag me - I don't want to look like I am part of the rip off.

This is not just for 'Dear Mama' - See email from 2024.

HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE 🫨

Sabastian Sawe becomes the first person ever to break the 2-hour barrier in official race conditions, storming to a historic 1:59:30‼️

@KejelchaYomif, on his marathon debut, also breaks 2 hours with a stunning 1:59:41 and @jacobkiplimo2 clocks 2:00:28, also faster than the previous world record 😤

[Shiyonga Dickson @ShiyongaD]

@Imonaar It worries me that medics are purveyors of misinformation. Personal biases should not get in the way of facts. Using a disclaimer is the the least he can do.

@yusuf_mahatt Tenders and public good can't be in the same sentence. Your guess is good as mine what informed the choice.

[Yusuf Mahat @yusuf_mahatt]

Basic life support is an essential skill that should be introduced from primary school. Everyone should be able to do CPR. Automated defibrillators should be installed in all public spaces. I’m sure this would cost nothing compared to proposed “drones” to supply blood. Common sense. Basics first!
