Hello from Canada to all our American friends. Please find a way to stop this madness. Strike, protest, demonstrate.

Unfortunately you and your new orange hairdo are just too much. We really did love you but you have been seeing that guy who likes to take his shirt off and go fishing. He's not nice and I am afraid he has been mean to my friends. So I am going to block your number. And I think it's not just me. Bye

By America. You have a good run. From your friends in Canada, we will miss you

Congratulations to my friend and colleague Volker Haucke Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Price. Richly deserved!!

Thank you for highlighting our work

Are you for real? Do you think the republicans will listen to Nobel Laureates? For these people scientists are pariahs. They want the guy whose brain was eaten by a worm.

When Garret Price tried to contact Donald Fagen to discuss this "genre", #yachtrock, Fagen told him to go F himself, well done Mr Fagen. To try to pigeon hole Steely Dan is the thinking of a fool. Why is there this incessant need to categorize?? 8 billion genomes, 8 billion individuals

Delighted that our study on Lewy Body formation in human dopaminergic neurons has been highlight by #mcgill-university. The connection between neuro degenerative disease and immune system activation continues to grow!

Hard to understand what this will mean but given the science background (lack therefore of) of the proposed Director of Human snd Health Services it seems that some clenching is in order.

Gulp!!

Sorry, typo, Anita Bandrowski #rrids

Follow Andria Bandrowski at #rrids if you have concerns about the problems with research antibodies

I hope you are right, but what does he want? The threat at the Canadian border is guns flowing north. Less immigrants crossing into the USA in one year than a weekend at the southern border. What can Canada offer? How can Canada appease a problem that does not exist. $600 billion in trade at risk

I think the wrong questions r being asked about the proposed tariffs. The real question Is how little will he accept from Mexico , Canada and China in order to be able to say the threat of tariffs worked ?

The antibodies don’t work! The race to rid labs of molecules that ruin experiments Poorly performing antibodies have plagued biomedical sciences for decades. Several fresh initiatives hope to change this.

However you celebrate. Please enjoy and love.

Came across this beautiful kitty while walking home. She was in distress. I fell in love. Got her to a vet but it was too late. Apparently hit by a car. No chip or collar. Please love your pets.
