So, right now, the only reliable way to diagnose endometriosis is with exploratory surgery. But finally, real scientists (instead of male scientists), are on the job & of course they’ve identified multiple markers in menstrual blood that point to noninvasive testing. www.science.org/content/arti...

#MinCup25 Very cool info!

Read that one of these changes in response to O2 levels in the atmosphere! #MinCup25

These are gorgeous!!

#MinCup25 is getting HARD (well, the one I voted for is actually pretty soft…) but the picture made my decision for me….

This one was really hard for me! Organic mineral!?! Versus one named for reindeer blood?!?

There’s an early leader, get your vote in!!

Almost missed voting! Tough choice, but I like that one is generally only found by amateurs!

We’ll love him forever, we’ll like him for always www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

One of these can only be seen in near freezing water. I voted for the other!

Calgary Wild FC truly had the gayest pride kits this year...

Ouch! I love the team and the games and would love to see more goals

Oh no! They are both beautiful!!

Getting this on my timeline for the next time I’m wondering what to watch on the treadmill (it’s gotta grab me!)

The uses of baryte for medical purposes are good but the vast majority of baryte is used in oil and gas drilling, so it's contributing to climate change. No thanks. Silver also has medical uses, such as in the dressings that treated a horrific burn I had last year. Thank you silver! #MinCup25

It’s a very close race right now! I went with the one I can wear as jewelry…

I’m glad we got to see her earlier in the season! Hope for healing!

Getting some good info already!

Gorgeous pieces!

Their work is incredible!

I’m really upset to see this as official policy

I LOVE this time of year!!

Pretty great Saturday morning, watching the Canadian Women v Fiji at #rwc2025

Normally I would take a salient quote from this article, add the link, and let it go. But in this case, I'm a bit stunned at the underlying assumption in this piece that Anthropic is a poor wee babe deserving of special protection and excuse for outright, open, ongoing thievery.

I think about this every time I have to reject cookies that I have previously rejected!!

If you're a trans or non-binary scientist, consider appearing on the podcast Assigned Scientist at Bachelor's, the only podcast dedicating to interviewing, and highlighting the research of, trans and non-binary scientists, cohosted by your truly!

But also, now I know what it actually is! Thanks for that!

Can not watch it before my meeting, but will be coming back to it. Their writing impacted me so hard (and I really look forward to seeing the documentary of their love later this year)

Really good write up - gave me lots to think about!

What do we know about the endocannabinoid system in developmental psychopathology?🤔 Find out in our recent paper, led by @pact-lab.bsky.social postdocs @ryanntansey.bsky.social & @marcdferger.bsky.social + collaborator extraordinaire @hmarusak.bsky.social 👇

It’ll be fun to watch her!!

Speaker Hortman was a bold and brave leader who made hard decisions and fought for the people of Minnesota every single day. She and her husband Mark did not deserve to die. My heart goes out to their children.

Devastating!

We will be there!!

My former employer paused all marketing on Pride toys and cancelled donating the proceeds to a great org because… *checks notes* … a single bigot doesn’t understand how BarkBox works? You literally have to CHOOSE and PAY MORE for the Pride toys. Happy Pride, gang 🫠

On Sunday, my friend, Jonathan Joss was murdered and it took me a minute to find the words... Like so many of our lives, Jonathan's existed at the powerful intersections of Indigeneity, queerness, visibility, and vulnerability. He was fierce, funny, flawed, and real in every way that mattered.

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

The Hudson Bay Company plans to auction off all the Indigenous art and artefacts they stole, in order to pay off their debt. These items should have been returned to the Nations they were stolen from. youtu.be/OTJSDNpe3Hk

I need this to be easy to find!! So fun! (Especially the alt text)

Kahli Johnson giving @nsl.ca some love during her post match interview after her debut and goal for the #Matildas. Loves the #NSL league, Calgary, the fans, her team mates and her coach. Admits that she's yet to experience a full winter though! Much different to Sydney's northern beaches. #AUSvARG
