@BillGates: Although I’ve never been one for New Year’s resolutions, I’m making one for 2019: I’m committing to learn and think more about the balance between privacy and security, as well as the use of technology in education.

@BillGates: Gene editing might be the most important public debate we’re not having right now. Read up on it whenever you have a chance. Even better, read @DrSidMukherjee’s “The Gene.” https://t.co/4qM8faMGkp

@BillGates: I had hoped that hitting the 100th anniversary of the Spanish flu would spark a lot of discussion about whether we’re ready for the next global epidemic. Unfortunately, it didn’t, and we still are not ready.

@BillGates: Almost a decade ago, I predicted that the world would soon be polio free. But we had more polio cases in 2018 than in 2017. Even so, I remain optimistic that we could eradicate polio soon.
