Nerdfighter here to connect with other nerdfighters. DFTBA!
Little painting I did to celebrate the birth of the first baby to be born in the MCOE. #peojectforawesome #nerdfighteria #p4a2026
P4A 2025 is officially the biggest P4A of all time!! #P4A2025
Alright nerds, I have to work tomorrow so I'll have to miss the rest of #p4a2025 and catch up on the stream tomorrow evening. It's been fun!
Every month in my bullet journal I make a 'wholesome bingo' spread. Last item I needed before I got bingo was make a handlettered quote page. I asked the chat during the #p4a2025 what quote I should do and this was one suggestion! Might do the other suggested quotes later.
I don't know how anyone else is doing on their P4A bingo cards, but I just need Jarrod to make an appearance and then I have bingo! #p4a2025 #nerdfighteria
To all my fellow nerdfighters anxiously awaiting the start of the P4A: Don't forget you can vote for charities right. now. That's right! You can get your votes in before the stream even starts!
Absolutely buzzing in anticipation of the P4A. Will I be getting up at an ungodly hour to tune in to the start of the stream? Yes. (But I'll be sleeping responsibly throughout).
The #p4a2025 chatter is beginning to warm up and so I guess I'm opening up the call for things to add to my P4A bingo card generator! Here's one of last year's cards for an example of what sorts of things are on the card
Exciting moment in my life as a nerdfighter: Finally got to try a Diet Dr. Pepper.
Diagnosis is critical for ensuring babies with HIV receive treatment right away. #Danaher needs to make all GeneXpert tests, including HIV, accessible. It's #TimeFor5
Freddy Mercury died of AIDS 33 years ago today. With modern medical technology, he likely would have lived. Never forget how much progress against major infectious disease has been made in a short time. We are at risk now of rolling back much of that progress.
I love this and also hate it so, so much.

What an achievement vaccines are. What a monument to our love for each other it is to stare straight into the face of something as horrific and unstoppable as smallpox or measles or polio or cervical cancer and say “You know what, it doesn’t have to be like this.” HUMANS!
Over seventy #tuberculosis activists took the stage at the opening of the global #UnionConf2024 on lung health to demand Danaher drop the price of their tests to $5! #TBSky msfaccess.org/msf-and-glob...

Key findings from the 2024 Global TB Report: 1. TB is the world's deadliest infectious disease even though it's curable (1,250,000 dead in 2023). 2. The global burden is growing even as deaths (slowly) decrease. 3. We're doing a (slightly) better job of identifying cases. www.who.int/publications...
