My daughter, who falls on the Autism Spectrum, made this book about animals at school and I couldn't be any more proud. Of course, the "nate" in its natural habitat, made the cut (definitely not because she couldn't think of other animals that start with "n"...πŸ˜…).πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

The love and respect between athletes and coaches has been salient in March Madness this season, and as a coach of folx in their formative years, to have this level of impact on your players has to be the ultimate sign that you're doing something right. πŸ‘πŸ» πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

This is suuuuch a cool story. Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds navigated a challenging situation involving so many variables with pure class and have clearly bought in emotionally. πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ». Get in, Wrexham AFC!!!

I've had 3 people in my life that I consider mentors: My dad, my Master's/PhD supervisor, Kent, and my postdoctoral supervisor, Mark Beauchamp. They have guided me in various ways, each with unique strengths/insights. I hope I can be to others some day what they have been to me.

Sure, accolades and letters behind your name are cool, but have you ever had students from your Research Methods class tell you that you changed their lives for the better? Thanks, Langara College, it's been short, intense, and possibly the most rewarding experience of my life.

Summer McIntosh, Christa Deguchi, Ethan Katzberg (Nanaimo's own!), Camryn Rogers, Aaron Brown, Jerome Blake, Brendon Rodney, and now the Canadian Olympic 🐐 (along with Penny Oleksiak), Andrew De Grasse (and all other πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Olympians)...y'all make me so damn proud to be Canadian.

I'm far from a fountain of knowledge, but one thing I'd recommend to anyone on the fence about moving to a new city/province/country is to take that plunge. It's undeniably a difficult decision/process, but in the end, it's amazing to live in different parts of the world.
