Very excited about this project- we are already hard at work to make the #decarbonization #retrofit planning #digitalTwin of #Toronto a reality!
Congratulations to @TorontoMet professors Alan Fung, Atefeh (Atty) Mashatan, Jenn McArthur and Bala Venkatesh! They will lead projects as part of @Concordia’s Canada First Research Excellence Fund program Volt-Age. Learn more about their research: bit.ly/3HSL3ep #CFREF

The impact of your research isn’t always reflected in how many prestige journals or books your research has appeared in. Sometimes, it’s the public engagement, partnerships, community participation, and influence on policy and guidelines that define a researcher’s impact.
I was familiar with this quote from #DeadPoetsSociety but found his "sucking all the marrow out of life" to be a letdown. He really could have pushed it much further.

Great to be at the #CIBw78 conference in-person for the first time in a long time! So good to see people again and glad our opening reception was outside last night.
#PhD graduation day! Quite the show here at @EdinburghUni

No one should have to pay for gender affirming care -- the government's refusal to fund it is devastating for the trans community.
Gender-affirming care is healthcare. We shouldn't be forcing clinics providing this care to privatize because of underfunding.

It is so refreshing to meet a politician who genuinely cares about the people they are seeking to represent. #teamolivia #torpoli #getOutAndVote
It’s more important than ever to show our support for Trans folks in public ways.
I’m honoured to march alongside the 2SLGBTQI+ community at today’s Trans Rally & March.
Pride is political!

So excited to be part of this exciting project! I'll be contributing to #SmartBuilding #DigitalTwin and #DataScience #research to support #decarbonization at a massive scale

Heading to @CBCToronto for my first @CBCBecauseNews taping since the pandemic! Can't wait!
I'm appalled by how awful @PurolatorInc service is! Two deliveries in the #GTA in the past month and no proof that any driver ever actually made a delivery attempt. Having never been notified, they're now returning it to sender (who I found out yesterday shipped it 2 weeks ago).
Ok this is really cool... looking forward to seeing more data !
6. Groundbreaking new nasal spray could protect against all Covid variants. Still needs human trials & approval (h/t @MeetJess) thebrighterside.news/post/gr…
Delighted to see @HumzaYousaf as the new SNP leader - curious why? Because he understands the need for the government to protect the most marginalised in society.

This #IWD I'd like to call out some of my favorite women I have enjoyed following on twitter...
@Jacqkelly for her amazing #EDI passion and trans allyship, @AcademicBatgirl for her awesome support that transformed my academic career, @AstroKatie for her awesome Science posts 🧵
@cmclymer for her awesome political blog, @JennAnnis who is awesome in every dimension, @ananavarro for her political insights, and @drsarahivory for her climate action and teaching passion. I've missed a lot, but this #IWD I want to celebrate them
