Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Finished "The Long Walk" by @stephenking.bsky.social writing as Richard Bachman from Audible 📚🎧 While it didn't totally grip me, the premise (a deadly endurance contest seen through a teenage boy's eyes) is fascinating. Curious to see how the film brings it to life! 🎬 #BookSky #FilmSky

"If we lose hope, we're doomed." We must continue Dr. Jane Goodall's mission and all fight for the future of the planet.

Today is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day – a time to raise awareness for the ongoing impacts of residential school and remember the children who never came home.

So exhausting..

Wow! What a breakthrough moment for these women. #WRWC2025 #RWC2025 #RUGBY

Just finished Patrick Stewart’s "Making It So" on Audible, also beautifully read by Stewart himself 📚🎧 From childhood to Shakespeare to Star Trek to X-Men, it’s heartfelt, witty, surprising, and full of insight. It's definitely a must-listen! 💙 #BookSky #TrekSky

Yesterday at our quarterly meeting, the director announced that I was named "Team Player of the Quarter" at @heartlunginnov.bsky.social in recognition for my support with our Research Day conference 🎉 Feeling surprised and grateful for the honour 🥹💙 #GradSchool #TraineeLife #HealthResearch

Annual Terry Fox run across Canada today, from coast to coast to coast. #TerryFoxRun #Canada 🍁 Link: terryfox.org/terry-fox-run/

Grateful to have co-chaired this year’s @heartlunginnov.bsky.social’s Research Day 🫀🫁 We also hosted an Early Career Night to connect with the invited speakers. Both events were fun, well-attended & positively received 😄 Feeling proud of our team’s work! ✨ #TraineeLife #GradSchool

The idea that an instructor can and *should* be fired for daring to teach something not explicitly mentioned in course catalog is the pinnacle of the "students as customers" idiocy that's been steadily destroying American universities for decades now. You're taking a class, not buying a product.

People are talking about Bluesky! From data analyzed between Jan 1 — Aug 18, 2025, we captured 85.5% of share of voice across social, digital, and traditional media, according to Meltwater. This is what death looks like 💀

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Finished Simon Prebble’s narration of Orwell’s 1984 📚🎧 A thoughtful classic that feels very relevant to current events, full of unforgettable quotes & insightful lessons. Glad I finally read it & excited to continue exploring other banned & challenged books on my list! 💙 #BookSky #BannedBooks

🧪 Science on Bluesky A new study of 2.6m posts finds research gets far more likes, reposts, and thoughtful replies on @bsky.app than on X. Scholars call it a 'purer' space for discussion. 🔗 www.theguardian.com/technology/2... #SciComm #BlueSky #AcademicSky

Today is the first day of year 2 of my #PhD journey! 🎉 Excited and looking forward to everything this year brings! Can’t believe it’s my last PhD year before transitioning into the MPT program 🥲 #AcademicSky #GradSchool

FUCK YEAH SCIENCE arstechnica.com/science/2025...

Guess who got featured in Forbes? 🎉 Honoured (and still a bit shook!) to be quoted as an “expert” on Garmin watches in their roundup of the best models for runners! 🏃‍♀️ First of many future mentions in high-visibility areas hopefully 🥹 #WearableTech #HealthTech #RunningCommunity

It's a growing fitness trend. People say wearing a weighted vest when you exercise builds bones, strengthens muscles and improves cardiovascular health. But does research back up these claims?

Tomorrow marks the start of @heartlunginnov.bsky.social's Research Day events 🫁 Super excited to see months of planning finally come to life! Be sure to check out the program guide below, especially the Welcome Message that I had co-written with my co-chair. Hope to see you there! 👋🏼 #SciSky #MedSky

Just finished reading "On Writing Well" by William Zinsser 💙 The book was full of tips, examples, & memorable quotes. My favourite one that stuck with me was: “Don’t be kind of bold. Be bold.” I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to improve their writing! #WritingSky #BookSky #PhDLife

Hardbacks are books. Paperbacks are books. eBooks are books. Audio books are books. The delivery mechanism doesn't matter. What matters is the enjoyment of story.

Among the 150 Canadians held in ICE custody (so far) this year are at least 2 Canadian toddlers, "including one who was detained for 51 days, more than double the legal detention period for migrant children in the United States, a Globe and Mail analysis of American enforcement data shows."

NEW: Walkable cities linked to health benefits, study finds. “A new study found when people moved from less walkable U.S. cities to more walkable ones, they increased their levels of physical activity and saw health benefits.” Add this to many similar global studies. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

I recently completed my first peer review 🥳 I worked alongside a postdoc in my lab to learn the process, understand how to give constructive feedback, & see how a critical lens can strengthen our field 👩🏻‍🔬 Excited for more invitations to grow this new skill! #AcademicSky #PhDLife

Just finished Misery by @stephenking.bsky.social on Audible 🎧📚🩸 Compared to the 1990 film, this version delivered way more horror: extra profanity, violence & details on Annie's character. Kathy Bates did an amazing job bringing her to life, & why I’m really excited to rewatch! #BookSky #FilmSky

This week, the @heartlunginnov.bsky.social’s Trainee Association & Workplace Wellbeing teamed up for our annual ice cream day and monthly birthday celebration for July and August 🍦🧁 It was a packed room with lots of laughs and yummy cold treats! 😋 #GradSchoolLife #PhDSky #SummerSocial

Didn’t want to believe this was true. It’s true.

I recently wrapped up the Instructional Skills Workshop! 👩🏻‍🏫 My favourite part was delivering 3 practice lessons & getting constructive, peer feedback. I’m feeling ready to apply this in future TA roles. Excited for this first step in my teaching journey! 💫 #EduSky #PhDLife #TeachingAssistant

If you think a golden ballroom is more important than childhood cancer research… I have nothing left to say to you. Please unfollow me. #pediatriccancer #cancermom

I’ve seen one of these birds grab a whole pizza out of someone’s hands at the crowded Granville Island dock & fly away with it. They are bold, determined & hella strong.

The 2024 Annual Report from my research centre is here! 📣 I'm proud to be featured under the Trainee Association (TAHLI) section and grateful for the chance to serve as Co-Chair in helping shape the trainee experience at HLI 👩🏻‍🔬 Take a peek and read through! #PhDSky #ResearchLife

“Small children from poor or middle-class families who watch ‘Sesame Street’ do better on cognitive tests and in first grade than children who do not watch it,” Renata Adler wrote, in 1972.

Last week, I attenddd an engaging and insightful talk by @guyattgh.bsky.social 💬 Dr. Guyatt walked us through the history of evidence-based medicine and key tools for decision-making 🔎 Thanks @advancinghealth.bsky.social for organizing this! I'm excited for the next trainee event! 😄 #MedSky #PhDChat

Attended an inspiring workshop on “Developing & Sustaining Your Academic Writing Practice” with @raulpachecovega.bsky.social ✏️ Full of practical tips, resources, and insight. Feeling motivated to write for once and to keep writing! 😄 #PhDLife #WritingSky #AcademicSky

What's the optimal number of steps of physical activity this is associated with multiple (9) favorable outcomes? The largest, systematic review of 57 studies, 35 cohorts. 7,000 steps is clinically meaningful, benefit also seen for 4,000 steps cf 2,000 steps thelancet.com/journals/lan...

spot on, Lorax 🥺

This isn’t the female gaze. This is the male gaze. It’s men who are obsessed with the physicality of other men. Women, in the main, would much rather see a man who looks like he’d make himself a stack of buttered toast and let you steal a slice

Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.

Teaching AI literacy. (GenAI is wrong A LOT. And even though people tend to think it saves time, we now have randomized controlled trials that show situations where it takes *more* time even when participants self-report it's saving them time.)

Finished Interview with the Vampire on Audible 🎧📚🪐 After watching the movie & show, I wanted to hear the original story by Anne Rice. While I knew the plot, it was a great listen! Of the 3, the show is still my favourite interpretation. Can’t wait for book 2 & season 3! 📽 #BookSky #TVSky #FilmSky

NASA is more than rockets and moonwalks. NASA is behind much of our everyday technology. From space discovery, to Air Jordans, to CAT scans, NASA has played a role. We get it all on less than a penny of every federal dollar. Now their science may be gutted by 50%. #NASADidThat

Honoured to support the planning of this guest lecture as part of this collaborative trainee endeavour within Providence Research! Excited for the lecture by Dr. Gordon Guyatt and the trainee mixer after! ✨ Last day to register, so don’t miss out! 📣 #EvidenceBasedMedicine #MedSky #AI #AcademicSky

The appearance of large language models caused a drastic shift in the vocabulary of academic writing, according to an analysis in #ScienceAdvances of more than 15 million biomedical abstracts published from 2010 to 2024. scim.ag/3IhpoQF
