My husband posted such a lovely Linkedin shout-out to me re: my latest citation milestone 😊♥️ Someone congratulated the "family achievement." (1) WTH. (2) It was not a man. #Academicsky #MedSky #ScienceSky #EpiSky

I'm really, REALLY, tired of corrupt-- everything.

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

Preston Manning calling for amending and repealing the Canada Health Care Act so AB can privatize healthcare fully is dystopian. He says Canadians want this. Oh heck no, Preston Manning does not speak for me.

Catriona Le May Doan is a record-breaking, two-time Olympic gold medalist, a world record holder, and one of the most decorated speed skaters in our country’s history. She’s a proud Albertan and a proud Canadian. And she’s standing up to fight for our home. 🇨🇦

Thanks to everyone for sharing this - particularly those who shared on other social media platforms! I appreciate the support trying to check the claims and correct the myths that got reported. It's sad it took so long to be published, and could not be shared closer to the original. But I tried.

Today, on the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia, we stand with 2SLGBTQ+ people in Alberta and around the world. Everyone deserves to live safely, openly and with dignity, free from hate and discrimination.

Because “I’m not a scientist” is a shield, and “I’m basically a gynecologist” is a weapon.

Good example of the expanding impact of health misinformation.👇 Babies Are Bleeding to Death as Parents Reject a Vitamin Shot Given at Birth www.propublica.org/article/more... "...hospitals have seen a rise in parents opting out of the shots for their newborns, often driven by unfounded fears."

It was such a pleasure to host Dr. Clare Evans @clarerevans.bsky.social at the University of Calgary over the past few days! She delivered an incredible workshop on MAIHDA that has left us all inspired! 🌟 💫 Looking forward to future collaboration! #EpiSky #ScienceSky #MedSky

Happy Friday!

Multi-year funding, grant terminations, and no clarity on what “DEI-activities” are is holding back ESIs far more than… Holding a K award and receiving an R… As @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social notes in her next post this has been possible since the early 2000s. As a 26 y/o, pretty much my entire life…

What does hosting an international speaker & facilitating a methods workshop look like? Day 1: 30,000 steps; 3,000 calories burned. #AcademicSky #MedSky #ScienceSky #EpiSky

Just a note that you might want to re-think posting unredacted acceptance letter/ award letter, etc. on social media (👀 LinkedIn) for reasons that should be obvious... #AcademicSky #ScienceSky #MedSky

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms, wannabe moms, people with moms, and people who used to have moms.

Google co-founder Sergey Brin — the third-richest man on the planet — is reportedly spending $57M to defeat California's proposed billionaire's tax. So he and his fellow oligarchs can't afford a wealth tax, but they'll spend a fortune buying elections? See the problem...

OMG, I am currently corresponding with 3 different Clares, and two spell their name the same. My brain cannot handle this. #AcademicSky #EpiSky #MedSky

I just let things go these days. Let it all go. For my own mental health.

Imagine if the (tens of) thousands of dollars we pay for-profit publishers each year could be used to... do research instead. #AcademicSky #ScienceSky #MedSky #EpiSky

“Absence of Evidence is not Evidence of Absence” -Carl Sagan What I think when I read a paper the declares endometriosis to be a "condition of White, affluent, women" 🙄 👎 #WomensHealth #AcademicSky #MedSky #EpiSky

What's the point of spending millions of dollars on a referendum if Danielle Smith plans to do whatever her separatist friends want?

Danielle Smith's referendum is illegitimate. It's nothing but a distraction from the UCP's record of chaos and corruption. youtube.com/shorts/kShnc...

A very random mix of #weather this afternoon in #Calgary. #YYC #abstorm #timelapse

Is Danielle Smith going to call out the foreign psyops trying to break up our country? Fake "Alberta" voices are located in Netherlands, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Pakistan. Will the feds call on youtube to deal with this political fraud? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The acting head of the CDC has canceled publication of a study showing the Covid vaccine sharply cut hospitalizations and emergency visits last winter.
