Happy to share our latest findings published in @eClinicalMed today!

We estimated that 1.9 million cancer deaths and 30 million years of life are lost to cancer due to #smoking, #alcohol, #obesity and #HPV in 7 countries every year 🇧🇷🇷🇺🇮🇳🇨🇳🇿🇦🇬🇧🇺🇸

[BBC Radio 4 Today @BBCr4today]

The NHS in England is promising that cervical cancer will be eliminated by 2040.

Dr Julie Sharp from Cancer Research UK speaks to @BBCNickRobinson about the barriers to ensure a high uptake in smear tests and the HPV vaccine, which are needed to achieve the goal.

@_RoseGray Did you cover cancer screening at all?

@UnwalkableBris1 @CrStuartJames Buses to the Gabba are great in my experience. From the Gabba not so good.

@EronMain @garius They won the vote didn't they?

[Nick Smith @njosmith_]

@QuaifeS @kate_rendle @UKNSCC @CRUKCOLcentre @UKSBM Will this be recorded? Would be very useful for those in different time zones. Thanks

@rappa753 I think there would be a case for this approach when there were imprecise measurements and it wasn't clear the smaller values were different from zero.

@DeeringRob Woodhouse Moor?

@simonpkirkland @nikesupport Strava? Or if you are serious about running get a Garmin watch.

[Brisbane CBD BUG @cbdbug]

The CBD BUG has contacted @bne_lordmayor about his choice to cancel/suspend the North Brisbane Bikeway, Stage 5 & the Green Bridges (Toowong - West End & West End - St Lucia)
How can we say Brisbane is a clean, green and accessible city when these kind of projects are deferred!

[Nick Smith @njosmith_]

@KarenCutter4 Is it possible to split cancer deaths by type. It would be interesting to see if there were any differences in cancers which are typically diagnosed early (such as breast and melanoma) and those that are typically diagnosed late (pancreatic, liver and lung cancer)

[Brisbane CBD BUG @cbdbug]

What is most disappointing about @bne_lordmayor cancelling Stage 5 of the North Brisbane Bikeway is those most disadvantaged are not those stereotyped as "cyclists" eg kids, families, grandparents, etc
Safe, protected & direct infra is what is needed so everyone feels safe.

[Nick Smith @njosmith_]

Long standing goal of a sub 20 minutes 5km run today at Kelvin Grove parkrun. And fourth finisher. Not too shabby.

[Nick Smith @njosmith_]

@whereisdaz Let us hope it replicates.

[Nick Smith @njosmith_]

It is funny because it is true.

Why spend 4 minutes doing something in Excel when you can do it in R in 4 hours?

[Nick Smith @njosmith_]

@geoff_tewierik @CoxyJindas Better they build a bike way on the flood plain than homes.

[Nick Smith @njosmith_]

The whole of South East Queensland right now.

Russia's #parkrun going ahead as normal. Here is Gorky Park, Moscow. I can't help but think that @parkrun can play a role here and send a message to the good people of Russia about how the actions of their country are viewed from overseas. #Ukraine 🇺🇦
