Labour neolibs still committed to their 1980s policies of transferring public assets into private hands eh. If NZTA have "spare land" on their books it should go back to the local iwi it was almost certainly originally stolen from. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

It often feels as if the smashing of science is practically invisible in NZ 😔 People can easily relate to the damage done to the health system, and fair enough too. It’s difficult for them to relate to the science system, and probably harder for them to know how it benefits them.

The disparity between breast cancer survival in high and low income countries is HUGE 💔. The @who.int Global Breast Cancer Initiative (GBCI) could avert 2.5 million deaths by 2040. Raise awareness! Talk to colleagues! Write to leaders! Post and repost! Let's do it. 🤗🙏 #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth
Summary findings
Global median five-year breast cancer survival: 77.8%
between 2017-2021

Low-income countries:
41.9% five-year survival
(fewer than 1 in 2 women)

High-income countries:
87.3% five-year survival
(nearly 9 in 10 women)Closing the gaps in breast cancer care
The WHO Global Breast Cancer Initiative (GBCI brings countries and partners together to reduce inequalities in breast cancer outcomes and save lives.
The initiative aims to achieve
three targets:
• 60% of invasive breast cancers are diagnosed at stage I or II
• 60 days from the first detection or presentation of symptoms at health facility to getting a diagnosis
• 80% of people diagnosed with breast cancer receive the recommended complete treatment

if you like the recipes in that particular Edmonds cookbook, keep it as long as possible (if they're getting to point of unreadable, take a copy now somehow) when the cookbook looks like that it shows how tried & tested those recipes are, evidence of favourite recipes 😊
