Can we just stop wishing #pancreaticcancer on people. Most of us that live with it and endure the daily issues that the surgery brings with it, we have very challenging lives.

Thanks for the laugh

Journey through the Carina Nebula Complex, home of the Cosmic Cliffs, in this new video produced by NASA’s Universe of Learning. Using stunning cinematic visuals, it lets you explore star formation in different wavelengths of light. 🔭 🧪

@nagtalk.bsky.social Which MacBook Air will be adequate for running NAG FORTRAN? I thought I saw one specd on the Apple website except the guy jin the Apple Store didn’t know anout NAG.

Pancreatic cancer is deadly, often diagnosed too late. Called the silent killer for a reason. Learn the facts, spread awareness, and support research. 🧬 youtube.com/shorts/SMRFY... #PancreaticCancer #RNAResearch

I guess Dutton can now just concentrate on graft and real estate.

Liquid/Apixiban is a standard medication for #pancreaticcancer this is an insane cost if you’re an American. fb.watch/z7KujOJRWX/?...

This’ll be interesting.

I really enjoyed this opportunity and the chance to connect with the wider community affected by pancreatic cancer.

Today Team Pajic Lab proudly walked in the #PanKindAus #PutYourFootDown #Sydney to raise awareness for #PancreaticCancer. We raised over $1300 for pancreatic cancer research and enjoyed the morning hugely. Thank you @garvaninstitute.bsky.social for the outfits!

Great piece on Melissa Hardwicke at TLC Mobile Autocare in Sydney & other female mechanics by @australia.theguardian.com Mel's been my mechanic for 10 years & there's nobody I trust more when it comes to cars. Safety & honesty is key for her. When you find a phenomenal mechanic, you stay with them

this is called reading

I don’t want to go to work today.

Gunna be tricky. To hell with context.

Caught up with my Whipple surgeon over #pancreatic cancer last Friday, after a recent CT. Still no evidence of disease after 2 years. Also lucky he’s moving to the rural/regional town I live in, although the major hospitals are 400 kms away. Still have other problems though and still on monitor.

WTF

Bought “Astronomical Phenomena 2026” through the USA Government Bookshop. It’s supposed to be ‘In stock’ however I get an email saying it’s on hold for release at the warehouse. So now curious to know if Trimp policies think it cannot be released to Australia?

Now that it's leaving us, disintegrating like cosmic dust, it's worth taking a look at what I consider one of the best images of comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS), captured on January 22 by Phil Hart from Ballarat, Victoria, Australia 👀 #astronomy #cometwatch +info 👉 cometografia.es/cometas-visi...

With the five-year survival rate for #pancreaticcancer remaining at just 13%, Congress needs to prioritize research funding. 💜 Your voice matters! 📣 In two minutes, you can join the fight and contact your representative:
