2021 was an incredibly hard year for many people, including me, but there are reasons to be optimistic that 2022 will be better: https://t.co/BxF6Q4K9Mq https://t.co/C0SdhYxKg8

Better nutrition can lead to shifts in health and productivity—boosting prosperity for families, communities, and economies. At the N4G2021 in Tokyo, I announced our support for @UNICEF’s nutrition fund to ensure tools to combat malnutrition are available to those in need. https://t.co/fsYcv9nDAP

2021 has been a year of big transitions for me, but it hasn’t changed why I love the work I do. Here are four things I’m thinking about heading into next year. https://t.co/z8TvzoJGsJ

The groundbreaking RTS,S vaccine will help save tens of thousands of children and is paving the way for a new pipeline of tools to #EndMalaria. https://t.co/IKnNlwHuPP

Robots will play a huge part in our future, and fiction like Kazuo Ishiguro's Klara and the Sun is a great way to explore what that might mean. https://t.co/qlotAHk0ST

The breakthrough RTS,S vaccine will help save tens of thousands of children and is paving the way for a new pipeline of tools to #EndMalaria. @Gavi’s decision to fund the rollout will ensure the program gets off to a strong start. https://t.co/uYCIbSNoeg

Accelerating long-duration energy storage innovation can significantly reduce annual CO2 emissions and lay the foundation for a net-zero economy by 2050. https://t.co/P2I5OcQEXa

The @gatesfoundation is supporting GIISER which is working to increase the in-country capacity for rapid evaluation of variants on the African continent. This will help us better understand variants of concern and how the current vaccines may perform. https://t.co/yz9XWS4LWH

South Africa did the right thing by reporting these cases. They have invested heavily in R&D including genomic sequencing capabilities which have made it possible to quickly identify variants, like Omicron, and help the world respond appropriately.

Experts like Trevor Bedford have done an excellent job explaining what scientists have learned so far about the new variant of concern known as Omicron. https://t.co/cix77NasZs

I made this video a few months ago to help explain what happens when a virus mutates. You can read more about the ways in which new variants are (and aren’t) complicating the pandemic here: https://t.co/luwOHz0hbJ https://t.co/l058kxZHgZ

I usually read a lot of non-fiction books, but lately I’ve found myself drawn back to the kinds of novels I would’ve loved as a kid. These were some of my favorites this year: https://t.co/ef6sg8MTdV

Which do you like better?

There’s lots of speculation about what Shakespeare’s life was really like, but we do know that his son died at age 11. Hamnet shares the story of how grief tore the Shakespeare family apart. https://t.co/KrNPsGvcXv

When I was a kid, I was obsessed with science fiction. But @andyweirauthor’s latest book Project Hail Mary is a fun read even if you aren’t a sci-fi fan. I finished the whole thing in one weekend. https://t.co/Ctv8WCNriN

I read a lot of great books this year. These were some of my favorites. https://t.co/t5AzHkm1z6

I really enjoyed reading these five books this year, and I think you will too: https://t.co/ClGjkmM3Xh https://t.co/tUsbGopcbH

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 50 years since the 4004 kickstarted the PC era. I still remember reading about its release with Paul and dreaming about how the world's first microprocessor might shape the future. https://t.co/7MDhGok7t5

About 3.6 billion people—nearly half of the world’s population—lack toilets or use unsafe sanitation. This #WorldToiletDay, I’m optimistic this sanitation crisis can be solved. https://t.co/ILNnK3ZkGA

2021 saw incredible innovation in health and climate. I am excited about many of these advancements and look forward to seeing what’s next. https://t.co/kBGnl5KIq8

I love the message in @JohnDoerr’s new book that in order to eliminate the Green Premiums, we need to make a scalable plan now: https://t.co/sOJsZ5GTRE https://t.co/C5UvjbkeiD
