You know your bench is thin when a guy who is unqualified for his job is chosen to take a second job, for which he is equally unqualified. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Just when you thought the MAHA brigade could not get worse, along comes Jay to encourage people to pack a punch like Mike Tyson. For the record, Tyson claims his best punch was thrown against his wife.

Looks like I have an appointment to add to my calendar for April 11.

Celebrating the accomplishments of our undergraduate research student Zoe Graziano as an outstanding student-athlete! 👏🏼 Because students are the best part of this job.

There are justifications for using 1 sex in animal studies, but the claim that only males are used because "females are more variable because of sex hormones" is not one. Males have sex hormones too & they fluctuate. In fact, females are less variable. doi.org/10.1016/j.co...

Happy #MLKDay2026 to all who celebrate. And to the racists who are trying to get rid of it: fuck right off.

23 days until pitchers & catchers report to spring training. #MLB2026 #baseball #WeWantItAll #BlueJays

Women’s health must be a national priority. Women experience unique health needs, yet gaps in research, diagnosis and care persist. Addressing preventable gaps isn’t just good health policy, it could unlock up to $37B a year for Canada. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Why does Canada need a national women's health strategy? I'll be discussing this tomorrow on The Early Edition with Stephen Quinn at 7:20 am PST/10:20 am EST. Tune in & listen 👇🏼 www.cbc.ca/listen/live-... #HerHealthMatters #WomensHealth #Research

Happy holidays!

Dr Mashouri did an excellent job advancing women's health through research & public engagement. Here are the core studies for her PhD👇🏼. Email for PDF copies ([email protected]). www.maturitas.org/article/S037... physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/... cdnsciencepub.com/doi/10.1139/...

The data are clear: COVID-vaccination protects against severe disease during pregnancy & reduces preterm birth. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Come work with us. Huge strengths in MRI, neuroscience and musculoskeletal health and their intersections such as pain, child development or ageing. Preclinical and clinical research and translation are also big opportunities. Shoot me a note if you have questions.

Took this picture for my band's first album cover. On a related note: anyone want to start a mariachi band?

Kudos to Life Sciences Ontario for putting together a fantastic panel discussion & networking event focusing on #WomensHealth. From business leaders to clinicians & policy makers, it's always inspiring to learn from & engage with such a diversity of voices. #HerHealthMatters

I am happy to announce that starting in January, I will be joining the board of Interval House Hamilton. From support to advocacy & education, Interval House is at the forefront of efforts to fight the public health epidemic of intimate partner & family abuse. intervalhousehamilton.org

To those who say Canadians are exaggerating when we say living next to the US is like living in an apartment above a meth lab: They are literally giving alligators methamphetamines.

Just when you thought these loons couldn't get any dumber....

Anti-vaxxers bear some responsibility for low HPV vaccination rates, but so too do the governments & academic institutions who refuse to speak up about misinformation. A well made point by @theglobeandmail.com. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/edit...

Excited to post kid #1's first peer-reviewed paper 🧑‍🔬 What started as a 4th year project to design a biosensor to disease markers turned into a review article🧬 Next step, grad school applications. www.mdpi.com/2673-3293/6/...

Autumn night in Hamilton

🍁5138 people have contracted measles in Canada this year 🍁4550 of them were unvaccinated or under-vaccinated 🍁16 cases were newborn babies congenitally infected 🍁2 people died No, immigrants are not to blame. Yes, anti-vaxxers are. www.cbc.ca/news/health/...

Women's health is unnoticed, unfunded, & unappreciated. It's time for Canada to develop a national women's health strategy. Dr Sofia Ahmed & I present a plan to increase women's health research in this @healthydebate.bsky.social article. healthydebate.ca/2025/11/topi...

Yes, medical schools should increase content & training about women's health, but so should universities in general & school boards. Women's health isn't a niche. It should be part of the curriculum across the spectrum of education. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

It was a great night celebrating Royal City Science's 5th anniversary w/ Nobel Laureate Dr. Donna Strickland & Quirks & Quarks' Bob McDonald. From a call to ⬆️ basic science funding to inspiring stories about overcoming obstacles, it was an evening of great discussion & amazing stories.

If you know an anti-vaxxer, you can congratulate them on this hard-earned "win". Honourable mentions to the universities & political leaders who have been so instrumental in making it easier for them to succeed. This was truly a team effort. www.reuters.com/business/hea...

What is there to do in #Guelph on a Monday night in November? How about enjoying volcanic infused beer with 2 🇨🇦 science icons: Dr Donna Strickland & Bob McDonald. 3 if you count Orbax. Still tickets left to celebrate Royal City Science's 5th anniversary!👇🏼 www.eventbrite.ca/e/light-soun...

So, it turns out that the "experts" who said COVID was harmless for kids & that the vaccines were dangerous were wrong. Who could have predicted that these grifting charlatans could be so off-base? Oh yeah...anyone with a basic understanding of science. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

How great is the HPV vaccine? It can even ⬇️ the risk of cervical cancer when given after precancerous cells are found. I wonder why RFK Jr isn't talking about this study.🤔 www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Only 3 women have won the Nobel Prize in Physics, & Canadian Dr Donna Strickland is one of them. On November 10, come & hear Dr Strickland at Royal City Science's 5th Anniversary celebration at the Guelph Youth Music Centre. #STEM #NobelPrize #Guelph www.eventbrite.ca/e/light-soun...

A fantastic 3 days of #WomensHealth at the @apsphysiology.bsky.social #APSSexDiff2025 meeting. We were excited to share our work on #IPV & #CVD in women, & the discussions were so engaging. Finally, New Orleans (specifically @tulaneu.bsky.social & @tulanemedicine.bsky.social) were great hosts.

Seriously?

Per @chicagotribune.com, the pajama-pants-guy is a former county prosecutor. And he had some things to say. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/25/c...

Why yes I did wear my Blue Jays jersey to #APSSexDiff2025.

Between blaming "promiscuous" women for cervical cancer & thinking that a fetus develops in the placenta, it is clear that women should not be taking medical advice from RFF Jr & his anti-vaxx minions. On second thought, no one should follow the advice of these buffoons.
