Canada has among the highest rates of MS in the world. The @MSSocietyCanada does amazing work helping people living with MS, as well as their caregivers. They also fund much of the research looking for a cure. I know where I’ll be eating next Thursday!
One more week until #BurgersToBeatMS Day! Have you started a countdown yet? Come together with #Canadians across the country & show your support for the #MS community, bite by bite. 🍔
On August 18, $2 from every @awcanada Teen Burger® sold will support Canadians affected by MS!

I train these clever creatures to save victims trapped in collapsed buildings after earthquakes. We kit them out with a rat backpack, and train them to trigger a switch when they find a victim & come back for a tasty treat 🐀

I’m fortunate to be spending the weekend with a very experienced human rights lawyer who outlined how vaccine requirements in schools and other institutions do not infringe on human rights but actually enable those who are vulnerable to participate fully/be included.

95% of the animals in medical research are rats and mice. ½ of 1% are primates. That’s a tiny number. But the impact on our health is enormous. Responsible primate research has led to historic medical breakthroughs that have saved millions of people.
