God rest her soul.

It felt good to earn my cookie this week... apart from needle-related heebie-jeebies. It's been a while. Appreciate that Canadian Blood Services makes the process smooth.

Not sure if Twitter is the right venue for birds (perhaps Flickr?), but I just had a Northern Flicker visit the post outside my window and it brightened my day just a little. 🐦 #birdwatching #Canada

Good. The reprise of responsible public health policy is music to my ears.

I needed a good laugh today. 🤣 #chemistry

The student body of the University of British Columbia form the letters ‘UBC’ using their bodies as part of their annual spirit pilgrimage or “Great Trek.”

One would hope 2022 would be a good year to end chemists' obsession with perfluorinated organic compounds. #ForeverChemicals

Pity the Toronto Maple Leafs, getting roasted by the President Donald J. Trump in Canada's Parliament.

Appears that there will soon be an extra reason to encourage my aunties to get a shingles vaccine. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Finally, and I say this each month, even when inflation returns to target, affordability concerns will remain a top #cdnpoli issue. Inflation is about changes. Price levels ratcheted. Now ~7.1% higher than would have been w/ 2% inflation this whole time. #cdnecon
