Omicron highlights the need for a global response and joined up thinking - the West can spend trillions tackling a virus that becomes yesterday’s news until controlled globally. Likelihood is the huge amount of mutations in this variant came from a single patient #covidvariant

Always in awe of the leaps taken by these minds with little other than pen and paper. Their theories and hypotheses have gone on to be proven as our experimental abilities have caught up. I often wonder how much further they could’ve probed with these tools at their disposal

Nearly a decade after the foundation of special relativity, Albert Einstein submitted his paper 'The Field Equations of Gravitation' for publication #OnThisDay in 1915, which gave the correct field equations for the theory of general relativity.

I’ve loved rugby since I was small, but without the dedication of two very special people I may not have had the opportunity to become a @LionsOfficial. This year’s red jersey is dedicated to them as my way of saying thank you #UniteThePride @VodafoneUK @VodafoneIreland #Ad

Vaccine passports = tricky legal position. Cannot force medical treatment unless one can prove it will improve health. Vast majority of population no proof, just inference so denying a right of movement due to lack of treatment....#vaccines #COVID19
Perhaps it is the lingering effects of dry January but if I hear one more cabinet minister refer to groundbreaking, cutting-edge science with the capacity to normalise the world again as a ‘jab’, I won’t be responsible for the hard stare that follows #vaccine

Not a time for finger pointing, they need to work together. EU order was 3 months later than the UK’s. AZ, Pfizer et al have done incredible work given the relative lack of global infrastructure to deliver to an unprecedented level.

Can’t believe these scenes on Capitol Hill. It is a time for cool heads and to get on with the business of transition. One hopes this brings both sides of each house together now to mend what’s been damaged in a great country. #US
