Though I occasionally consider returning to Twitter, I'm really only here to promote this paper I had a small part in by Anshuman and Adam. It's extremely neat.

Recent #marinheatwaves and seastar declines led to #kelpforest losses along parts of North America’s west coast. But B.C.'s massive coastline and lack of comprehensive monitoring program made it difficult to assess the impacts here. Until now. 1/2

Congratulations to #uvic_chemistry #undergrad Diana for the successful presentation of her CHEM 498 project. She studied the response of metabolites produced from breast #Cancer cells after #radiotherapy by #SERS #Raman It was great having you in our group, Diana! #Cancer Research
Delighted to host the wonderful Jon Husson of UVic School of Earth and Ocean Sciences at UVic Science’s Cafe Scientifique at Hermann's Jazz Club club last night. Great tale on snowball Earth and a super-interested crowd busting with questions afterwards
We had a great time hosting Chelsea Rochman as our Lansdowne speaker #uvic_chemistry We learned a lot about #microplastic #pollution and how they affect several organisms. Thanks a lot, Chelsea, for the visit and the great times here in #yyj
Radiation therapy is currently one of the main treatment modalities for cancer, but we're at the limit of the dosage we can give to patients. @PhastatUVic prof Devika Chithrani is working to develop more effective radiation therapies. #WorldHealthDay
