đź’ˇ Rare disease trials often struggle not because of science, but because of human connection. Our rare disease experts have outlined six practical strategies sponsors can use to overcome the most common hurdles, from early patient engagement and flexible design to building trust and using technology thoughtfully. These approaches can improve recruitment and retention for sponsors while also making participation easier for patients. đź“– Learn more here: eu1.hubs.ly/H0nQzW30 #RareDisease #ClinicalTrials #PatientEngagement #Genomics #Biotech #ClinicalResearch

What a legend - three weeks after his gold medal in Paris, Paul O'Donovan of @RowingIreland is back with another gold medal, this time in the lightweight men's single sculls. Is he Ireland's greatest ever athlete? #WRCHStCatharines #WorldRowingChamps

Ever wondered what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. Find out in your early morning Perth-Melbourne flight. @VirginAustralia loading from rear and front doors always makes for fun viewing as people board from wrong doors. Modern day clash of clans

A man exercises using a rowing machine in the gym aboard the RMS Titanic, 1912. The RMS Titanic, famously known as the "unsinkable" ship, is etched into history as a tragic tale of grandeur and disaster. Among its impressive features was a state-of-the-art gymnasium, a testament to the opulence and innovation of the early 20th century. In this article, we explore the fascinating story of a man exercising on a rowing machine aboard the RMS Titanic, offering a glimpse into the fitness culture and technological advancements of that era. When the RMS Titanic set sail on its maiden voyage on April 10, 1912, it was equipped with many luxurious amenities for the pleasure of its passengers. One such feature was the gymnasium, located on the ship's forward well deck. The gymnasium was adorned with mahogany paneling, mirrors, and large windows, offering a stunning view of the sea. It was equipped with state-of-the-art exercise machines, including a rowing machine, bicycles, weights, and punching bags. Physical fitness and exercise had gained popularity in the early 20th century, as society began to emphasize the importance of a healthy and active lifestyle. The availability of gymnasiums aboard luxury liners like the RMS Titanic demonstrated the growing interest in fitness among the upper classes. As we reflect on the Titanic's tragic fate, we can appreciate the glimpse it provides into the past, reminding us of the importance of physical fitness and the ever-evolving nature of exercise culture.

@ACTHealth, your people on the ground are fantastic, but your systems are broken. Waiting 3 days (and still waiting) for paeds surgery. Cancelled yesterday because you didn’t want to fund the operating theatre to stay open in the afternoon. My son’s long term outcomes at risk.

What’s going on with @ACTHealth day 3 with a child on the emergency operation list. Dr says he needs the operation within 5 days of injury, but they shut the surgery for half a day due to lack of funds. Meanwhile emergency list grows. Haemorrhaging at the seams. #kidscomelast

Well played @WACA_Cricket and @CricketAus Well priced tickets to see the best of our interstate teams go head to head in the final. With increasing price of living costs, sports need to provide affordable options to keep fans coming through the gates. @abcsport
