When your husband takes an awesome drone shot for the Tara Bushfire Recovery Project he's been coordinating and leading - and it gets tweeted by the Premier (no photo credit though)

[Annastacia Palaszczuk @a_palaszczuk]

These modular homes are on their way to bushfire victims in Tara.

QBuild workers have just completed essential repairs on them in Dalby.

They’ll provide comfortable accommodation for people while we help them recover.

Adding Tip #7: Tell a story.

[Nicholas Coles, PhD @coles_nicholas_]

A year ago, a non-academic friend listened to a talk I gave. I thought it went great. My friend disagreed.

She said that academics are experts at making interesting stuff boring—and that we should all take a speech class.

So I did. And here are 6 most useful things I learned.

Moving towards wiser healthcare - Words from the incredible @raymoynihan

[MJA @theMJA]

Celebrating the moves towards wiser health care … Dr @raymoynihan writes #freeaccess in InSight+ … "the post-pandemic recovery may well see a much greater emphasis on fairness, and a focus on what matters most for people and the planet" https://t.co/d9a2NqgVO7 #medtwittre

A "bad" few days (cause COVID killed your processing speed and emotional tolerance) doesn't discount all the work/effort that came before - and is yet to come!

[John Doran @awaytowellbeing]

A bad day? Or a bad 5 mins in your day? Labelling moments ‘bad’ can blind us to our blessings.

I'm definitely too far in to consider a life without fear of the question "How's your PhD going?" 🤣

Harm without benefit? Doesn't add up. Scratch the new gestational diabetes cut-off.

[Rae Thomas @rthomasEBP]

No significant difference in physical outcomes but potentially a LOT of adverse mental health outcomes by having a GDM diagnosis. What if it wasn’t necessary? This is what informed women wanted when asked about consequences of GDM. https://t.co/cYDkTOfKZq

There's something therapeutic about going through track changes/comments in a document returned by your supervisors - one (tiny) step closer to publishing results!
