That’s not how you science.

It's OK to not be OK.

There's no shame. The brain is an organ. Just like the pancreas or the lungs. You wouldn't be ashamed to ask for help with lung disease or diabetes. Mental health is no different. Any organ can get out of whack occasionally. The brain is no different.

I’m sorry to hear that things are rough 😢

I am going to repost our job ad because we are not getting many applicants!

That would be fun, too. Maybe when the US regains its sanity…

Having a mini science nerd moment- made it to the WEHI to give a talk! I have used cells that were made by scientists from here since 1999- this is kinda surreal. The talk will have data from the cells 🤓

Thank you to everyone who donated and helped us surpass $10K. We still need $13K+.

My kids are committed—they understand how vital this research is & know ~43% of Canadians will get cancer, with 25% dying from it.

They don’t want that for their generation. Please support or share their link:

A great organizational meeting for @terryfoxresearch.bsky.social @marathonofhope.bsky.social - making major strides to deliver personalized medicine approaches across Canada 🇨🇦 As Terry Fox said “Anything is possible if you try” @jwoodgett.bsky.social

Grave threats to academic freedom abound, including in Canada.

Q&A: Understanding the risks of treating women's pain during pregnancy

My brilliant friend & colleague Dr. Janine Hutson (MD, PhD) discusses the evidence for treating pregnant people’s pain & the lack of evidence for harm in using acetaminophen when needed

Different results in different labs looking at activation of heterotrimeric G proteins. Was traced to use of dispo. plastic tubes v. reusable glass tubes (Fl) washed with Alconox detergent (Al). This led to groundbreaking biochemical and structural studies, such as pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7969474/

I thought it was all about merit now?

Canada's largest population health study is ready for what's next 💪➡️ CanPath received $3M from CIHR to expand its work on pandemic preparedness, climate-health research, and rising cancer rates in young people 🧬🌍

In the early years of my PhD I remember being asked if we'd ever treat or cure diseases like HIV or Huntington's. I remember saying maybe, but not knowing if I believed. Seeing research pay off as real impact on human lives is - incredible.

Your reflexive both-sidesism is doing harm. NPR. The science IS clear that Tylenol does not cause autism. And that maternal fever can harm the fetus. Do better.

This is what happens when you put a sociopathic, fragile egoed, unstable, ignoramus in office, and surround him with sycophantic, amoral, egomaniacs.

Why would anyone voluntarily go to USA these days?

Good news, these fuckwits do provide our Human Biosciences programme with a wealth of material.

Does taking Tylenol during pregnancy increase risk of autism? The evidence is thin—and entirely correlational. Here's what to know. @sciam.bsky.social 🧪 www.scientificamerican.com/article/does...

A big study in JAMA last year in which 185 909 children were exposed to acetaminophen during pregnancy. Conclusion: Acetaminophen use during pregnancy was not associated with children's risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability in sibling control analysis.

CBC just reported on Petition e-6679 — a call to hold MPs accountable for spreading disinformation.

Poilievre wants CBC gone because it’s the one Canadian voice that fact-checks his fearmongering. Without it, lies win.
