On call, masking and gowning constantly. I can’t see anyone’s faces, but I’m surrounded by heroes. It’s incredibly moving. This is a privilege.

Meet Rosie! When a tree at Rosemont Ridge Middle School (home of the Coyotes!) came down during a storm, I was asked to carve it into the school mascot. Thanks to the school community for the opportunity! #bojibearcarvings #carveologist

One of my chainsaw carving goals has been to work on-site at someone’s home. Yesterday I carved this 🦅 to surprise a Portland firefighter. He’d left for his shift just before I arrived, and will see it today when he gets home! Hoping he loves it. #bojibearcarvings #carveologist

Consequences of vaccine inequity:
"Given the potential for dangerous mutations that could render vaccines less effective, it is epidemiologically irresponsible. And delays in vaccinating the global population have an economic cost as well."

I think this polypill data is fascinating - and while we're at it let's figure out how to share and distribute vaccines too world-heart-federation.org/n…
A stump to grind! My first time on a scaffold - a little scary, a lot of fun. #bojibearcarvings #carveologist

“I understand the concern of all governments to protect their people-we should not accept countries that have already used most of the global supply of vaccines using even more of it, while the world’s most vulnerable people remain unprotected.” @DrTedros

This is a really informative read on the challenges we collectively face getting vaccines into the arms of people in low-income countries. As supply increases, vast inequity persists & major distribution hurdles remain. @RebeccaDRobbins @benjmueller. nytimes.com/2021/08/02/world…

I recently took a family member to a cancer clinic
And sitting in the waiting room, it became obvious
If you're a hospital leader who claims to care about patients health
You must mandate vaccines for all your workers
