Challenges facing graduate students and early career researchers are real. My partner finished his doctorate sleeping on his supervisor’s floor because he could not afford rent. I used my own personal funds to pay for my 1918 flu expedition. Time to invest in research.

I was just asked to be on The National to discuss Roe and abortion...and then I found out it would be a panel with a "pro-life/anti-abortion" voice. I am livid and sent this reply. I couldn't care less if this means I will not be asked back to the CBC. It needed to be said.

So let me get this straight: The Canadian women's hockey team wore N95 masks while easily beating Russia 6-1 at the Olympics...but some people are so inconvenienced by having to wear a mask that they're holding the city of Ottawa under siege & claiming it's all about "freedom?"

It took 2.5 months but it’s official: All Ontario Teachers will be provided with superior PPE! Remember those who fought for this, even when several unions and schools boards fought back : @KashPrime @BarryHunt008 @masks4allCanada @vitacoreinc #BetterMasksOct14 -> Reality!

On October 14th, education workers across the Province will be wearing PPE to work that is superior to that provided by their workplace. But is this call to action REALLY necessary? 🧵 A THREAD 🧵 #bettermasksOct14 …1/6

So, Ontario is simultaneously in favour of continuing widespread DART screening of vaccine eligible adults in workplaces, and against this intervention in vaccine ineligible students with the highest COVID prevalence of any age group. We are told the concern is low prevalence?

COVID-19: Parents set up rapid screening for schools when government didn't We already know that children have less symptomatic COVID-19 infection than adults, yet schools in Ontario are relying on passive symptom screening to allow children to attend school. 🧵1/

When the @ONgov failed to create a rapid testing program for schools, volunteer parents stepped up and created their own. Now @fordnation is taking away the tests, prioritizing them instead for businesses. This is no way to treat the people of #Ontario. theglobeandmail.com/canada/a…

Ontario tells agencies COVID-19 rapid tests are only for workplaces, not schools, angering parents

The Ontario government informed agencies this week that rapid tests were to be used by workplaces, not community groups or parents

Temp bike lane for @StART_Toronto on Richmond St leads cyclists to carefully navigate along TTC tracks @ Victoria St. This morning my tires got caught and nearly wiped out as I was paying attn to car turning right cutting me off. Pls cover tracks! @TO_Cycling @CycleToronto

Also, the section of temp bike lane on Richmond between Jarvis - Church are too narrow (I have a bike trailer). Some pylons may have been slightly displaced, but the lane is quite narrow to begin with. @TO_Cycling @CycleToronto #BikeTO
