Brilliant thread on social and psychosocial determinants of obesity from @jburnmurdoch . Blaming individuals doesn't work, quite apart from its unacceptability.

[June Fabian @JuneF_sa]

@jburnmurdoch Considered and thoughtful and reflects our public health failures..... your thoughts on the food industry and its role

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

Oh, and for the "it’s just personal responsibility" crowd, an anecdote:

I worked nights (10p-7a) at local supermarket for a few months between school & university, and my diet, exercise & weight all took a hit. Over the months after leaving that job, I got back onto an even keel

@EricTopol @CellCellPress Really frustrating that great science remains behind a pay wall....its time for global open access

[June Fabian @JuneF_sa]

@SabineKaram6 So sad to say goodbye to a legend

[June Fabian @JuneF_sa]

@mphophalatse1 @Our_DA Thank you for fighting...its takes time, energy, and guts...we don't always win. This is NB for so many reasons...mostly that we have a system that upholds justice. And we can see it in action today

[June Fabian @JuneF_sa]

@celiagregson @tafmadanhire @LSHTM @TrialVitality @ThruZim Congrats!!!

[June Fabian @JuneF_sa]

@rashida_abbferr @celiagregson @NIHRglobal @ThruZim Congratulations Celia!!! This is amazing!!!!

[June Fabian @JuneF_sa]

@paimadhu ? More comfortable to look elsewhere?

[June Fabian @JuneF_sa]

@mphophalatse1 @Our_DA Agree with all said, but wonder at how much of a "crisis" we would be in, given the rainfall last season, if JHB city prioritized every leaking pipe in every street. As a citizen I pay tax for this service, but l don't see the benefit...

@DrSimonHodes @kidneydoc101 @thetimes @theresecoffey @TheDA_UK @DrSelvarajah @DavidPNoble63 @trishgreenhalgh @AntibioticResis The devastating impacts of anti-science..well I've handed antibiotics to friends and family and they did allright....

[June Fabian @JuneF_sa]

@FrancoisVenter3 Just like they should also experience power outages

[June Fabian @JuneF_sa]

@FrancoisVenter3 @RitshidzeSA And then we punish by labeling people as "non-adherent"

[June Fabian @JuneF_sa]

@rashida_abbferr Some would say be more specific about from WHICH country, and that Sub-Saharan is colonial in its origin, so better to drop that rather describe as Africa

[June Fabian @JuneF_sa]

@AdriaanBasson Hands off our journalists

[June Fabian @JuneF_sa]

@LMFiliatreau Submit to another journal? Infringing this kind of policy reflects the lens that continues to exclude LMIC researchers

[June Fabian @JuneF_sa]

@FrancoisVenter3 Needed to hear and see this today....

[June Fabian @JuneF_sa]

@Roxytonin @DorotheaNitsch OMAG!!!! Even more of a legend now!!!
