Tomorrow is #WorldMosquitoDay, when we recognize all of our partners and grantees who are fighting against the world’s deadliest animal and the diseases it spreads: https://t.co/RlZ2PlXt7V https://t.co/aIj2I5V16h

I never really learned how to cook. I’m finally learning my way around the kitchen, though, thanks to Robert Hand: https://t.co/AJdkDB7fzE https://t.co/g3pQw4fxpZ

Four billion people are at risk from mosquito-borne diseases. We can get that number down to zero if we invest in new tools — like a set of techniques for genetically modifying mosquitoes — to complement the ones we already have. https://t.co/YSemQDFsw6

I learned a lot from Washington State Teacher of the Year @_MrHand about creating a classroom where kids want to be (and he taught me how to make BBQ chicken). https://t.co/V1XHZDy4GG

Melinda and I are big fans of @DonorsChoose, and we were thrilled to learn that @WKamauBell is, too. Today, when you support teachers as they prepare to go back to school, your donation will get a 50% boost from our foundation: https://t.co/Klc2UIOcnw https://t.co/fHxSjoiFPl

When teachers have the right tools, there’s no telling where it will take them. Today, when you give to @DonorsChoose, @gatesfoundation will boost your donation by 50%. I hope you’ll join us in supporting teachers. https://t.co/v8oWcwGhYF

Being poor isn’t cheap. It’s hundreds of times more expensive to use charging stations than it is to charge a phone at home. That’s just one of the hidden costs of unreliable electricity: https://t.co/1RTxaL1chd https://t.co/ymKCJo83em

Whenever I want to understand something better, I pick up a book. Here are some of the best ones I’ve read so far this year: https://t.co/Q9RFZW6uid #BookLoversDay https://t.co/wwg8lsG3jI

There is no question that reliable electricity unlocks a better life for people. But can we power the world without contributing to climate change? I think we can: https://t.co/33sGjLspfT https://t.co/NRjXc2HReH

Think back to the last time you experienced a power outage. If you live in New York, you don’t have to think that far back! Now imagine what it would be like not to have access to electricity at all. Nearly one billion people face that reality every day. https://t.co/4jg2JC7EVQ

Five years ago, India was declared polio-free. This incredible milestone was made possible by the health workers, governments, partners, and donors who didn’t rest until every child was reached. I can’t wait to see what India achieves next. https://t.co/p5G2WuwPZb

What if we really are all in this together? In this fascinating book, @NAChristakis explains why and how humans evolved to work together: https://t.co/SkaMiLYjkn https://t.co/l8gzfoWYCu

10 breakthrough technologies that could help us feed the world and fight climate change at the same time. https://t.co/u8zStX4iwQ

It's hard to overstate how important finding a better diagnostic is for fighting #Alzheimers. That’s why I’m investing in new ideas for easier and more accurate diagnosis of the disease. https://t.co/WM9phNmyJo

If you read one article about climate change this week, check out this one from @voxdotcom. Government support for energy R&D is one of the best opportunities to fight climate change. https://t.co/fke57WYxM3

Are our similarities powerful enough to overcome our differences? “Blueprint” is an optimistic (and terrific) book that explores why humans have evolved to work together and cooperate. https://t.co/mQz07WvFgm

I usually wait until the end of the year to share good news that you might have missed, but I couldn’t resist sharing this list from @PositiveNewsUK (check out #14!). Which story has inspired you the most so far this year? https://t.co/2fSdE0BpPF

Can you imagine an aircraft engine in your car? The @ARPAE Summit is one of the coolest places to learn about new energy tech. The @btenergy team came back with lots of new ideas and insights from this year’s event. https://t.co/GZZKQ6w6dW

The people who will suffer most from climate change are the ones least responsible for it. Here’s how we can help them: https://t.co/S32e1ljJru https://t.co/18ueJU1kkX

This is something I would have loved as a kid: @MicrosoftStore is hosting a series of free Camp Know Where events across the country. If your kids love science (and @Stranger_Things), I encourage you to check them out. https://t.co/hz7LJYIq2b
