Announcement: Our experiment in the world is coming to an end.
Over the next 18 months we will continue to support the Fellowship while finishing chapters, drawing conclusions, learning, sharing and then - finally - closing our doors for the last time.

A quick goodbye to Twitter friends as we prepare to close our doors for good.
Our work endures through the Fellowship: a community of exceptional individuals who will continue to contribute to our learning and forge a more open and equitable world.

Thank you to our Fellows, who have helped us learn so much along the way. It's been a huge privilege and honour to support this incredible community. Open has always been our best strategy for working. It will also be our best strategy for ending well.

People with #cysticfibrosis suffer and die needlessly, thanks to @VertexPharma's shameful refusal to lower prices and give up its monopoly.
Please watch - and contribute - to help @JustTreatment win access to life-saving medicine for thousands of lives worldwide.
US company @VertexPharma is charging up to $310k a year for lifesaving #cysticfibrosis medicine - leaving thousands to suffer & die without treatment.
We're joining forces with @VertexSave & patients across the world to demand global access.

The movement for open, equitable, public health just got stronger! Very excited to announce that Just Treatment's patient-led fight for health justice now has the backing of the @ShuttleworthFdn through a fellowship for our lead organiser @diarmaidmcd.
Exciting things to come!💪
Taken a break from Twitter since the start of the year so it’s nice to be able to return with some amazing news.
I’m now a @ShuttleworthFdn fellow! With their support we’re going to be growing @JustTreatment to win fairer, more open healthcare for all!😃

I'm really excited that my fellowship with the @ShuttleworthFdn starts today! It will enable me to work on something I’m really passionate about: open, collective data governance.

I was privileged to help @ShuttleworthFdn find its new fellows. Welcome @diarmaidmcd and @JeniT!
Diarmaid and Jeni work in different but crucial fields in these turbulent times, and both focused on upending the asymmetries of power that harm us collectively and individually.
Thrilled to announce our new Shuttleworth Fellows and introduce Diarmaid McDonald @diarmaidmcd and Jenni Tennison @JeniT.
Also, huge thanks to our Honorary Steward @nicolewong for her insight, guidance and contributions to the selection process.
