Small moments like these brings a tear to my eye and opens my heart. When you see the smiles of your students.
About to have my first International Lecture @UMmalta
Usually I talk at conferences, but to lecture infront of students is the best part. One gets to shape the minds of our future. #dementia #lgbtQ #healthcare

Nearly 40% of young people who #vape monthly do not know if their e-cigarette contains #nicotine.
The report surveyed Dutch youth between the ages of 12 and 25 who vape at least once a month. While many said they continue #vaping because they enjoy it, nearly 40 percent admitted they did not know whether their device contained nicotine.
