2 weeks ago, 20 public health officials across the region attended a workshop at the 🇸🇬 National Centre for Infectious Diseases.
🧬 They gathered in person to share best practices on pandemic preparedness and genomic surveillance in a post-#COVID19 world.

A joy to be back in the motherland, especially watching @StuartBrownFCDO try to master the national anthem in français mid-verse

So incredibly sad. Forever impressed by my birthday twin and rowing teammate who used her short time to truly excel at what she loved.

[Oxford School of Archaeology @school_of_arch]

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news that our dear friend, Dr Lisa Lodwick, passed away yesterday. She has left a legacy of innovative, collaborative work that stretches far beyond Oxford. Our deepest sympathies to her family and husband Jo. She will be sorely missed.

We will miss the inimitable Ian Levy. His farewell blog is Ian at his finest - funny, provocative, engaging, very right and (just occasionally) very wrong! https://t.co/cv7nVT3WI4

“What [this Nobel Prize] shows is that any serious philosopher who wants to talk about the nature of reality had better pay close attention to quantum physics” - brings back my four years as a PhysPhil-er fretting over all the parallel universes where my good decisions went

[Anjana Ahuja @anjahuja]

Is a banana curved & yellow even if you’re not looking at it?The 2022 #Nobel for physics shows the quantum nature of reality is weirder than we thought. Too weird even for Einstein.

Escaped Singapore to be part of this dream team exploring biotech, ethnobotany, connectivity and Borneo’s biodiversity in Sabah - here at UMS’ beautiful campus

Great collection of articles in @TheEconomist on the renaissance in neuroscience and the study of mental health.

Something we’re excited about at the @wellcometrust too.

Go read it all but some highlights in case you need persuading:

Glad to have been one of the people shepherding this very long line on a very hot day - great to chat to so many HKers coming to pay tribute to HMTQ.

[Brian Davidson @brijdavidson]

Deeply touched by the tributes from the many HKers remembering HM The Queen @UKinHongKong today: over 2500 signing condolence books and laying flowers. Helpjng my kids appreciate the impact HM had on people across the world.

[Elinor Buxton @elinorbuxton]

Hoping to channel this sort of energy when I roll into work off tonight’s 17 hour red eye

Really looking forward (hmmm) to having this exact experience next week, minus the typhoon.

Onboard flight SQ "Everyone is terrified of testing positive on arrival plus there's that pesky typhoon" aka SQ894.

Wish me luck!

President Biden will sign the CHIPS and Science Act tomorrow--a very important bill. Much ink has been spilled about the semiconductor aspects. There's so much more of consequence to the legislation, though. Here's what you need to know: 🧵

Great to moderate this panel and get their expert thoughts on closing the digital divide - thanks to @GSMAm4d for the opportunity (and @FCDOResearch @chrisedwards6)

Since its launch last year, the @DeepMind and @emblebi AlphaFold protein database has helped scientists tackle complex, global problems. This announcement today is not only another huge advancement, but a step towards insuring the world is prepared for future pandemic threats.

A very fun day to be acting Deputy HC, despite having to face up to being a total failure of a British diplomat in having no football knowledge (but lucky to have some of the greats from @LFC and @CPFC to help).

[UK in Singapore 🇬🇧 @UKinSingapore]

An amazing day today at Eden Hall as we welcomed football legends from Liverpool FC and Crystal Palace FC to Singapore!

With the match happening tomorrow evening, may the best team win!
