I had a very nice visit to Spain where I delivered 10 presentations in 4 cities (including those on which I was a co-author). Beautiful sunrise in Cadiz yesterday near the end of my 10 km run before returning to the @isbnpa.bsky.social conference 😎🏃 Muchas gracias!

Yikes! 🤮 I guess I have another great reason not to have a driver's license! 🚶🚲

Why make a referendum question simple when you can make it complicated? 👎

Today I ran from Almeria, Spain to Canada and back... No, not that Canada; the one that is pronounced Caniada 😅🏃

Pete Hegseth says America needs “maximum lethality” and “no mercy” in war. A historian says that rhetoric echoes the same military thinking that helped Nazi Germany, fascist Italy and Imperial Japan lose World War II.

"innovation" is not necessarily a good thing...

Honoured to have been accepted in the elite Masters category for the Victoria #marathon this fall 🏃

📣 Our latest paper published today in the Journal of Transport & Health presents an analysis of global #activetransportation surveillance using information from 57 countries and jurisdictions that participated in the Active Healthy Kids Global Alliance Global Matrix 4.0 initiative.

Arrived in Spain for a conference and 3 other invited presentations in the next week and a half. Ten presentations in total...🧑‍🔬 #science

🎯😎

Very insightful interview in the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists!!

Good initiative!

I ran the Red Deer 🦌 #marathon one day before heading to Spain. It's a smaller one compared to those that I have ran before. Finished 2nd overall and 1st among those aged 40+. Good thing there's space in my luggage for all the hardware... 😆

Agreed on this

Great comments from Dr. Mark Tremblay: it's important to put the risks of long-distance running (which are quite small at a population level) in perspective with the wide-ranging risks of physical inactivity, which are much more common. 🏃

Riding bikes is 10X more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities. And that’s just the climate emissions. Doesn’t include the massive public & personal cost difference, the air & noise pollution difference, the massive space difference, etc, etc…Via @theconversation.bsky.social

Tomorrow is bike 🚲 to work day in Canada! Good timing because the 100 km/h wind gusts we had today made biking too dangerous for a guy my size, so I walked not in a straight line like if I was drunk 😝

"natural gas" creates huge emissions of methane, a greenhouse gas that is 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Hardly a day goes by without @mark-carney.bsky.social exacerbating #climatechange with terrible decisions at odds with what he promised before the elections.

So that's where Carney and Poilievre both take their marching orders...

The sun is not affected by the economic warfare from the president of the United States 😎

I'm not surprised at all! And I bet it hallucinates more with patients who have a thick accent in English, potentially exacerbating health inequities.

💯 agree with the mayor on this one! 🎯

"surprise" 🤦

Zero vision indeed! As if the endangerers (those driving) have no responsibility to protect others... #victimblaming

The Alberta government should stay in its lane! They cry like a wolf anytime the federal government does anything they don't like, but then they want to impose their rules on cities. That's both hypocritical and anti-constitutional.

Carney just unveiled new plans that make it easier for mega-corporations to profit while our communities and the planet suffer the consequences. Let’s speak up to make sure our MPs and Liberal Ministers hear a loud, resounding “no” to this plan to fast track destruction. share.nwmd.social/s/wU0cyjzy

Super valuable & needed analysis! 👇 The Political Economy of Wellness: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... "...wellness industry deploys political strategies closely resembling those of other harmful commodities industries, including undermining scientists and policymakers..." #ScienceMatters

That's what made us more vulnerable to Trump's economic warfare (e.g., tariffs) in the first place 🤦🤡

Very cool! Here's hoping for this work to eventually lead to more affordable treatment for more people. But this is a great step forward! #science

My best 5 km run as a 42-year-old so far... I would have gone under 17 minutes if it wasn't for a few hiccups, but happy with that result one week before the Red Deer marathon. 🏃 And happy to support a good mental health cause.

Ignore the noise from RFK, influencers, the meat and dairy lobby, and company. If you live in North America and are not experiencing major poverty, you're probably already eating way more protein than you need! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

So is Alberta...

🐢 are back at their usual spot... As seen during the first of my 2 runs today... 🏃

Please enjoy my cartoon for Thursday's Toronto Star

Fast-tracking fossil fuel projects in a #climateemergency is irresponsible.

Two excellent reasons to vote no this fall! 👎 #foreigninterference

Although it will be expansive, this much overdue project has the potential to result in a very large decline in greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution while moving the needle towards sustainable transportation!

"Pour chaque dollar de dividende, il y a seulement 25 sous qui restent au Canada. Si on regarde en Alberta, c’est maximum de peut-être 10 sous." La solution : une taxe sur les profits extraordinaires des pétrolières

This is more accurate than people realize.

Reliable renewable energy that is not affected by the Strait of Hormuz!

When you break it down, it’s the reason he tore up the deal!

Fair enough, though she should also look in the mirror...
