CBSA officers encountered a traveller from the North Pole carrying multiple bags of concealed goods and travelling alongside nine caribou. He was cleared for entry after submitting his declaration : “Merry Christmas, Canada!”

I’m sure sleeping in is nice but being the only one awake in a quiet house drinking coffee by the Christmas tree is elite.

Here’s a nice analysis of 2.5M children about Tylenol and autism. The study found a small association between tylenol use in pregnancy and autism, but the association went away in sibling analysis. In sibling analysis you compare children born to the same mother where one child was exposed to Tylenol but not the other. This is a better comparison because genetics are similar between siblings whereas they differ greatly in non siblings from different families. Bottom line: no increased risk of autism with tylenol use in a huge population analysis. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

Acetaminophen Use During Pregnancy and Children’s Risk of Autism, ADHD, and Intellectual Disability

This nationwide cohort study with sibling control analysis examines the association of acetaminophen use during pregnancy with children’s risk of autism, ADHD, and intellectual disability.

I’m Gen X which is way smaller than the Baby Boomer generation so I’m just hoping assisted living goes on clearance around the time I need it.

Today we observe, not “celebrate”, Orange Shirt Day. It is our Remembrance Day. This day represents many lost children and widespread intergenerational trauma for our communities. Its a time to learn and reflect. #EveryChildMatters

Nurses who have cared for residents during climate-related weather events in Canadian LTC homes are invited to participate in our study. Note: if you choose to respond to this page on social media platforms you may be publicly identified with the study through your profile.
We are recruiting nurses (RNs, LPNs, RPNs) to learn more about their experiences of providing care in long-term care homes during climate-related weather events (e.g. extreme heat/cold, wildfires/air quality, flooding). The study is inclusive of staff nurses, educators, clinicians, managers/DOCs, and advance practice. Participation involves a one-on-one interview via Zoom and completion of a demographic form. Participants will receive a $25 honorarium. We are recruiting until June 30, 2024. Email gero@nursing.ubc.ca for more information.

My second #orchid rescue for a coworker this year. This one was potted in dirt (?!) and appeared dead above ground but had some roots. Repotted semi hydro and it’s recovering well.

If we have to self checkout everything now can we get a bigger workspace? I’m tired of trying to stack a week’s worth of groceries into a space the size of a cookie sheet.
