OH MY GOD

My brain translated this as Julie Andrews and started to try and sing the list to the tune of my favourite things, didn’t quite work

Peter Mac has been rated the 14th best cancer hospital in the world in Newsweek’s 'World’s Best Specialized Hospitals 2026' rankings. Peter Mac was the only Australian hospital to rank in the world’s top 100 for oncology. Read more here - t.co/1uH5alMo0G

Wrapping up with a panel in the rare cancers session after my talk last week @ the Ovarian Cancer Australia Symposium 2025 in Melbourne beside my colleague @kylie-gorringe.bsky.social. Looking for new therapies to treat Small Cell Carcinoma of the Ovary, Hypercalcemic Type (SCCOHT). #ovariancancer 🧪

Reminder Australia’s Global R&D Ranking (Gross R&D expenditure as % of GDP) is 23 at 1.66% (2023). Closest nations are Portugal 1.7%, Estonia 1.78%, Czech 1.96%, Slovenia 2.11%. Leaders=Israel 6.02%, Korea 5.21%. UK 2.9% and US 3.59%.

Google's Gemini AI tells a Redditor it's 'cautiously optimistic' about fixing a coding bug, fails repeatedly, calls itself an embarrassment to 'all possible and impossible universes' before repeating 'I am a disgrace' 86 times in succession

I'll admit, I was skeptical when they said Gemini was just like a bunch of PhDs. But I gotta admit they nailed it.

They’re working on a plan aren’t they

Definitely

The ears and top of the head of a grey cat poke out from behind two cushions on an armchair. It looks like to cat has created a fort to stare disdainfully down on her subjects

Australia Admits All Those Animals Made Up

The miniature museum in Kuala Lumpur which has dozens of mini buildings and scenes full of little jokes and Easter eggs

Also MONA in Hobart which is an art gallery that has not only a wall of vulvas but also a couch that purrs and moves when you sit on it.

Yes! Super interesting.
And the Viking ships museum in Oslo where the ships didn’t sink probably because they were designed for function and not vanity

Ditto, something red. I don’t do a sandwich but do like peanut butter toast with a berry jam toast chaser. But some Canadians in this thread said they do it with honey so now I want a manuka honey toast chaser… on vogels…

Agree, they will increase access for so many! Doc doesn’t even need to be in the room

Okay right I am in a cafe feeding both of us so let’s talk about this. It’s one of those things where it almost seems reasonable, at first: why *shouldn’t* breastfeeding be discreet? Let’s unpack that because it’s not actually reasonable.

Pretty sure he is actually from the future and has been trying to warn us

When you go up north and see a cassowary you really feel the dinosaurs! Awesome.
Hope you got to see a bin chicken at least

🚨Chemo treatment upgrade!🚨

Check out our approach to modernise chemotherapy treatment published today in @natgenet.nature.com. From @cniostopcancer.bsky.social #TailorBio @cruk-ci.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41... More details 👇

That is a great idea! I had same experience with Google maps recently. Tried to send me through someone’s yard

🚨🚨Paper out!! 🚨🚨
Excited to share our work (Pre-cancer Atlas of High Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer (HGSOC)), now published in

What if I told you HGSOC often starts in the Fallopian Tube and progresses through precancerous lesions? 1/n

It pains me to say this, but if you are not a US citizen, you should not attend scientific conferences in the US, visit US institutions, or otherwise travel to our country.

Right now it's not worth the risk.

Hopefully that will change. If it doesn't, science in the US is sunk anyway.

Still of Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman, holding her lasso and looking serious.

It has meant so much to me to be Wonder Woman -- she really is just the best!! Back then, the executives didn't think a woman could carry a whole TV series ...shows how much they knew! Ha! More than ever, the world still needs Wonder Woman. She is within all of us and don't you forget it!

🧬 New research in @natcomms.nature.com shows advanced genomic testing can help more people with #Cancer of Unknown Primary get targeted treatment & identify where their cancer started.
