Had an amazing time teaching kids science today at #ScienceInTheSwamp! From exploring water molecules to viewing spider brains under microscopes, their curiosity was inspiring! 🧠💧🕷️ @MQSciEng #ScienceEducation @Aus_ScienceWeek @CentParklands

The US Secretary of State tweeted my sister’s picture (she is on far right) from earlier this year evacuating US Citizens at Bogata Airport (not Wuhan)!
Wuhan was COVID-19 ground zero: whole city completely shut down. No one allowed in or out. Our @StateDeptDSS team worked 24/7 to evacuate 800 Americans in 72 hours & bring @StateDept employees home safely.
