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.

SARS-CoV-2 reinfection of children & adolescents increases the risk of Long COVID. Vaccination decreases the risk of reinfection. This study shows that COVID isn't harmless in kids & that vaccines protect. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Back to the lab after a week at Dalhousie University, connecting & reconnecting with researchers & collaborators, & talking about women's health.

I'm not missing @bluejays.com baseball for anything. #GoJaysGo #MLBPlayoffs

Switched offices for today. I prefer this view.

Checking out some of Canada's best soccer players at the @hfxtidesfc.bsky.social @nsl.ca match.

In case you thought President Trump's misinformation about Tylenol, autism, & pregnancy was unusual, it wasn't. Misinformation about women's health is spreading & it's dangerous. www.ctvnews.ca/atlantic/art...

The biggest threat to women's heart health is a lack of knowledge, of their biology & their risks. @heartandstroke.bsky.social has supported women's health research & now they have a tool that empowers women to gain the knowledge to understand their risks. www.heartandstroke.ca/healthy-livi...

How does menopause impact skeletal muscle? Our latest collaboration with Paris Mashouri of @geoffpower.bsky.social's lab uses a unique mouse model of menopause to track postmenopausal changes in muscle performance. #WomensHealth #Menopause #BasicScience cdnsciencepub.com/doi/10.1139/...

to your phone call, email, or social media post. I'll respond to all messages when I return. Assuming I come back.

Martin Kulldorff says these mistakes are because they are rookies. I say it's because they are ignorant grifters with little to no understanding of science. To-may-to, to-mah-to. 🤷🏻‍♂️

"The NICHD, which receives 4% of the total NIH budget, spent approximately 11% of its budget over the last decade on women’s health research unrelated to maternal-child health." That's <0.5% of the budget for women's health outside of reproduction. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

📣 Lab news! Congratulations to Dr Amanda Avison for winning the platform presentation award at @UCalgary's International Equine Symposium for her work on cardiac arrhythmias & sudden cardiac death in equine athletes!🏇💔 #OneHealth #Cardiology #SportsMedicine #SCD

I could get used to this...

Sunset, urban landscape

Cardiac restitution is used to predict arrhythmia risk💔 Can it be used in athletes who have⬆️risk of arrhythmia?🚴‍♀️ Our study with Standardbred racehorses finds unique & complex ECG changes in exercise that requires revisiting this marker for athletes🏇 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

It's a long list.

Who says disco is dead? 🕺 Kardium's disco-ball-like globe maps & destroys the source of atrial fibrillation 🪩🫀 A life-changing intervention developed by Canadian cardiology 🇨🇦 #CdnSci #BIOM4180 #AFib #Cardiology www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

To add insult to injury... Seriously? Why is this still happening in 2025? The 4th year undergraduates in my cardiology class are aware of this problem. How is it that women are still being under-treated?

Do we really need to do research specifically on women's health? The REBOOT trial finds beta-blockers - a standard therapy for heart attacks - causes harm in women, but not men. Yes. The answer is yes. academic.oup.com/eurheartj/ar...

Picking up a few snacks for our weekend celebration. My mom is out on parole.🎉

Sunset over a foggy field, outside of Paris.

So exciting! Less than 6 hours after our paper was published I received this award notification! I just need to provide my banking information, social insurance number, & email password & this prestigious award I've never heard of is mine!

Can you really repair an engine while it's running? 👩🏽‍🔧 The heart can. 💪🏼🫀 Our latest @faseborg.bsky.social paper shows how the protein 'CapZ' helps heart muscle to keep running during exercise. ⛹🏼‍♀️🏊‍♂️ #Exercise #Heart #Muscle #BasicScience #Cardiology faseb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1096/...

Offering my support to my colleagues at Dalhousie, as they push to secure a fair agreement. Universities need to be held accountable for the poor decisions made by leadership, but that should not be borne by faculty & staff.

If anyone is looking for me, I'll be here until Monday.

We have some amazing children's hospitals in southern Ontario, which is why I am always happy to support #MiracleTreatDay. Now I just need charities to provide excuses to frequent Dairy Queen the other 364 days of the year. For the kids, of course.

Loonie hotdogs & a Jays' victory. The very definition of a win-win #LightsUpLetsGo

The world needs more Scotland.

Some great work by Masarra Al Dakka to wrap up her Master of Biotechnology work in our lab. We are excited to have Masarra join our lab as a PhD student to investigate sex differences in the cardiac effects of polyaromatic hydrocarbons. Thanks to NSERC for the support!
