We thank our pathologists, scientists, collectors, couriers and laboratory support staff working tirelessly during the pandemic, particularly over the last few weeks. Testing records have been set all across Australia recently, with 100k+ tests reported in NSW over the weekend.
To all the amazing nurses out there - you worked tirelessly over the last year through all the lockdowns - you swabbed us, triaged us, cared for us and now you vaccinate us! Much love to you all!
This month please consider donating a ‘Fiver for Ed’ to support the great work the Himalayan Trust, founded by Sir Edmund Hillary, is doing to support healthcare, education and clean water in Nepal. https://t.co/bB8oaryTdl

Sometimes when twitter gets too heavy, I go to pathology Twitter and read tweets from pathologists getting super excited about stuff they find in pathology slides. It’s very soothing.
Dawn reminded me of many nights on call when you look up wearily, and with relief, realise you made it through another one. Wishing all the RMOs, nurses, orderlies and lab staff,who cared for our loved ones overnight, a good sleep today!
I got my first dose today. My thanks to the fantastic @WaikatoDHB vaccination service. It was seamless and *sweet* experience, not that any incentive was needed! #COVID19Vaccine
