Collaboration and more open access to data have made seemingly impossible health breakthroughs a reality, like COVID-19 vaccines. @AlzData is putting the power of data behind one of our most critical health challenges.
The #Alzheimers Disease Data Initiative turns 2 this month. By overcoming barriers to research with data sharing and free tools, we’re helping researchers power the end of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.

I’m very sad to hear about Michael Gerson’s passing. We spoke many times over the years, especially about global health, and when I started talking about pandemic prevention back in 2015, he was one of the first journalists I wanted to talk to. b-gat.es/3EFUr4g

While the last steps are proving to be the toughest, I’m optimistic we will eradicate polio. I recently visited @KU_Leuven’s Rega Institute where they’re testing preventative medicine – an important step toward a polio-free world.
The climate crisis is already devastating communities. More funding is necessary to ensure agricultural and technological innovations are widely available to the most vulnerable, helping them adapt to climate change, save lives, and increase economic opportunity.
Today we announced an investment of $1.4 billion to help smallholder farmers address the immediate and long-term impacts of climate change. gatesfoundation.org/ideas/media-ce…

I had a great meeting with @starkwatzinger to discuss the importance of funding research to address some of the future challenges we face in global health.
Great discussion with @BillGates on the lessons we've learned from the #COVID19-pandemic. The free and curiosity driven research lays the foundation for responding to future global health crises. Strengthening scientific institutions is key. #GCAM22 #GlobalChallenges
Thank you, Prime Minister @Xavier_Bettel for your continued commitment and support.

I’m deeply grateful for the efforts of partners like President @MohamedBinZayed who have helped reduce the global polio burden by 99.9% and prevented an estimated 20 million children from being paralyzed. Together, we can overcome the last hurdles and achieve a polio-free world.
On #WorldPolioDay I express my sincere gratitude to the many people, including health workers, whose dedication and hard work means an end to polio is in sight. Together with our partners, we remain committed to continuing the fight towards achieving a polio-free world for all.
Testing for viruses with a breathalyzer? It’s possible. Pretty incredible to see the innovative work happening at @imec_int.
Thank you, Prime Minister @alexanderdecroo, for hosting this year’s #GrandChallenges meeting. Your support in facilitating this gathering of global leaders will help ensure a healthier and more secure world.
Thanks to @BillGates for stopping by to experience the future of AI robotic automation!

Twenty years ago, I thought of #GrandChallenges as a Gates Foundation initiative. Because of all of the innovators and broader scientific community involved, it has become a global movement.
It’s been fantastic to learn from @djimdeab and @Ioyier who've been working on the reduction of malaria and many other disease elimination programs with the support of @wellcometrust. b-gat.es/3TCRdDe

This week, @Breakthrough Energy is starting an annual tradition. We’re hosting a gathering in Seattle where scientists, inventors, entrepreneurs, public officials, and corporate leaders from around the world will talk about what it’s going to take to get to net-zero emissions.
I believe we’ll be able to avoid a climate disaster. The ultimate measure of success is global greenhouse-gas emissions: we need to go from 51 billion tons a year to 0 in the next three decades. I’m optimistic we can get there – if we take the right steps. pic.twitter.com/gy25a2P4sa
