This is super interesting -- and a bit depressing -- but I'd also like to see the equivalent survey done on teenage boys! Because I think sometimes there's an assumption that boys are being catered to with things like gym equipment, but actually... maybe they want spaces to hang out and chat, too?

Here is a great podcast from our archives. @dryvonnecouch.bsky.social hosts a discussion on why Narrative CV's are fast becoming an essential component of grant applications, and how you can make yours. soundcloud.com/dementia-res...

What happens when reading books gets positioned as a health intervention? And what does this case tell us about the wider landscape of austerity therapeutics? I'm glad to have contributed to a new paper addressing these questions, led by Hayley Redman. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Although CPR has become synonymous with medical heroism, nearly 85 per cent of those who receive it in a hospital die. Why has it remained the norm?

By letting public spaces and services fail, cities are breaking a fundamental promise to people who live there. You can’t sell people on urban density if you don't provide the infrastructure needed, by @jenniferkeesmaat.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti... via @theglobeandmail.com

Or could be the best part of our work too!

Please share this podcast highlighting the brilliant and visionary Dr. Danielle McCamey. I have so much respect for her and fully support her initiatives. She makes me want to be a better nurse and human.

Dear nurses, you are not the problem. You are not burned out because you lack resilience. You are burned out because of moral injury resulting from being understaffed, under resourced, and unprotected. We have the evidence and yet we keep researching resilience. It’s not your fault.

How managers can help grieving workers: - Be present. Show the employee they are valued and supported. - Be patient. They may have returned to work, but they could still be experiencing grief. - Be open. Help the employee find meaning in the present.

Scott Moe had two opportunities this week to shut down talk of separation once and for all — and he didn’t.   Saskatchewan people deserve better than vague answers when the unity and future of the country is on the line.

Can't wait to hear Dr Lengyel from @umanitoba.bsky.social present!

Tip of the day! #MayDay

Does this sound familiar? It’s a similar story in Alberta. “The expansion of private providers into NHS-funded care has led to falling surgical admissions in NHS hospitals and is associated with rising waiting times for all patients.“ journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

“The suppression of uncomfortable ideas may be common in religion or in politics, but it is not the path to knowledge, and there's no place for it in the endeavor of science.” - Carl Sagan

Thanks to all of you for sharing your writing advice, my students (and maybe yours) can benefit from the wisdom in this thread!

This is the moment for scientists to join together with worker movements. We can’t sit on the sidelines and hope we have research funding. The fight of authoritarianism is our fight too. #resist 500womenscientists.org/updates/2025...

Watch the new video on the amazing legacy of local nursing pioneer Helen Glass!

It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books. It's about finding a way to banish entire people, entire ideas, out of society, back into the closet or worse. www.chron.com/politics/art...

Absolutely!

Looking forward to watching this.

That's something I can endorse!

This might fly under the radar in the initial coverage of the Liberal platform, but seems relevant to the larger discussion about Canada's response to events in the United States. The Liberals are attaching $25 million per year over the next four years to this promise.
