Why the work we do is important ➡️Lack of access to accurate #information in native langauge of many folks from equity-deserving communities results in consuming & spreading #misinformation & making poor #health decisions. Read Dr. Ripudaman S. Minhas MD MPH article in Healthy Debate ⤵️

Not only is this person unqualified in every way to lead the HHS, but his baseless/careless statements are evidence of racism in healthcare. This is why there are trust issues & why having someone like him in this position is dangerous. #vaccines #science #healthcare #education

I'm with Isaac Bogoch. Our American friends, you may not be able to access health related info on your end, but we'll share ours with you. Check out Public Health PHAC & other trustworthy Canadian sites e.g ScienceUpFirst | LaScienced'Abord. #PublicHealth #healthcare #health

Kindly get #Pubmed back up and running asap. This better be a technical glitch because otherwise, it's asinine for this large repository of scientific literature to be inaccessible to researchers worldwide. #science #research #medicine #academia

When science comes under attack by bad actors, it has severe consequences, as we are witnessing south of our border. Cuts to scientific research leads to reduced innovation in STEM affecting science, healthcare, medicine, etc. Everything & EVERYONE suffers. #Standupforscience

Trolls are the reason I'm less active on here. As much as it's important to be where people are, there is a fine line b/w civic responsibility & personal safety & mental health. So, if you harass me, I will block you. #notrolls #AcademicTwitter #STEM #scientist #sciencetwitter

Everything said in this thread ⤵️. Experts need to be in spaces to share accurate information and debunk the junk, as frustrating and sometimes quite frankly, as scary as it may be. Otherwise, falsehoods fly rampant. #science #education #sciencecommunication #Healthcare

Today marks the anniversary of defending my PhD and becoming Dr. Krishana Sankar! To say the journey was tough would be an understatement — but I'm grateful for every moment that shaped me. To anyone on the path: trust & take care of yourself. #PhDone #PhD #STEM #science
