My thoughts on Canada’s adoption of the US’s anti-DEI rhetoric, and what it could mean for Canadian research

It’s the start of a new week.

But we still want more labcoats and less white robes.

We need to keep standing up for science!

I have been so sick! lost the sense of smell and taste. I don't appreciate tastes but only textures in my mouth.

My father lost his sense of smell in an accident (11yo). However, He enjoys food more than average people.
How come? did he forgot what tastes good and created a new scale in his brain?

This is nice!
How do you get added to this lists?
Friends, the second #immunology starter pack filled in 3 days! I started a third to help folks new to BlueSky rebuild their network

Below are the links

Wonderful to see the #immunology community growing here.

The first starter pack is full (they cap at 150), so I created a second one. Let me know if you'd like to be added
