Dear European public health colleagues - as an Australian I’m staggered by the numbers of smokers and vapers in Europe. What is going on? They’re everywhere. I haven’t come across a single outdoor eating area that’s not full of nicotine. Please explain.
I think about this every time I travel so I thought I’d make a video. (Not giving up my day job…)

Thoughts from a beginner vlogger
Horrified that CDC Atlanta has been the target of a shooter.
Also, it doesn’t rate a mention in the Australian press.

Off to #Cambodia for my third visit in 6 months. Helping the government with drafting their #pandemicplan
Great to see countries taking this initiative before all the lessons from #COVID-19 have been forgotten.
Failed to see the Aurora Australis last night due to cloud cover but managed a very nice sunrise instead

#Sunrise
We’re supposed to be getting a good show of the #auroraaustralis here in #Tasmania over the next couple of nights.
…it’s cloudy
I’m so over your hyped up headlines - do better.
Hope everyone is having a perfect Easter break.

is right. You can humiliate and fire us. But we will not stay down. Because we truly believe in our mission. We fight for people. We fight for kids. For the right to survive and the hope to thrive.
Goodnight friends. Get some rest.

And there go the epidemiologists and data scientists

Bits flu has been discovered in a sheep. Main concern here is the spread into more mammals.

Agreed. They need to do better. Fear mongering is tiresome. When something worrisome happens nobody will be listening
It’s our fault for failing to communicate about uncertainty. That we make the best decisions we can based on imperfect data. That those decisions can change when we know more. We need to clearly state what we know and what we don’t know.
If you need a break from the dismantling of #publichealth, here are some inspiring ideas to help with a #hiking escape to #Australia or #Japan

Totally entertained and educated by the Apopo giant pouched rats that do #landmine detection. Over 20,000 landlines detected in #Cambodia plus many unexploded munitions.
Cute and lifesavers. A very worthy cause.
Stunning #BengMealeaTemple - 12th century temple crumbling in a #Cambodian jungle.
Also extraordinary - 438 #landmines and 809 UXOs removed from this site over the last twenty years.
Here’s a picture of an elephant I fed and walked through the forest with today.
I didn’t think about American politics at all.
She’s a retired #elephant who used to give rides to tourists visiting Cambodia’s temple. Now she plays.

Likely to be the avian variant which seems to be regularly more severe than the bovine variant.
THIS IS MADNESS
As a graduate of the Australian equivalent this is unbelievable.
Does the US administration consider consequences at all? Did they not learn anything from the COVID experience?

Hard to overstate how funny and perplexing it is that the U.S. is still submitting Article 6's right now. Say what you will about international law but the IHR stays winning
Finally fulfilling a Year 9 Social Studies dream (after more years than I care to mention). Thanks Mr White for your inspirational teaching all those years ago.

One of the oldest trees on the planet, a Huon pine, is under threat from bushfires in #Tasmania
