Delighted to receive this funding to continue our teams’ work on understanding the burden of occupational skin cancer in Canada!

Interesting disclaimer from a group of authors who had been helping develop the latest ROBINS risk of bias tool but jumped ship rather than put their names to the publication researchonline.lshtm.ac.uk/id/eprint/46... #episky

What a petty and stupid little cunt.

As an epidemiologist myself, I’m unclear how these computer scientists and economists think they’re using epidemiology to own history??? Kindly don’t, friends.

I talk to my computer when using Windows already, it’s just usually to scream at it “what in the fuck are you doing OH MY GOD?!”

u.s. department of energy post on x praising coal: "She's an icon She's a legend And she is the moment [sparkly picture of coal]

struggling with an analogy here but imagine NASA posting a meme about how excited they are to return aviation to the pre-jet age

Vinay Prasad departs the FDA Vinay Prasad, a top FDA official, is out after less than 3 months on the job.

Vinay Prasad just got fired from the FDA because he was utterly unqualified and could not meet the moment. He can now go back to making his little YouTube videos chockablock with misinformation and continue to deceive the public that way.

This is great to see from CSA! Public comment period is open.

A powerful graph that shows the effectiveness of the HPV vaccine in preventing cancer and saving lives.

Not to self-promote but I was involved in the Can-PCC collective on the subcommittee about prevention of PCC and we recommended asymptomatic masking in almost all settings, even with the limited evidence that the “gold standard” RCTs provide: can-pcc.recmap.org/plrs?recomme...

Kelly, this sucks very badly. I totally understand orgs wanting to balance risks and harms but citing the propagandist Cochrane review as “unbiased” is actually deeply offensive.

Returning to the office isn’t the answer to Canada’s productivity problem — and it will add pressure to urban housing Companies are betting on office mandates to fix sluggish productivity, but what workers need most are affordable homes, shorter commutes and real opportunities to grow, not added stress.

So are all the news outlets saying Zohran Mamdani is using coded antisemitic language and if you read between the lines you can tell how bad he is going to make a big deal about the worlds richest man making a chatbot that advocates for Hitler?

I don't think NYT should know peace until they divulge the full chain of decision making that led to the laundering of Nazi propaganda against a leading anti-fascist politician the same day fascism was codified in Congress.

trump's first post about mamdani is going to be levels of racism we haven't seen since the 19th century

Incredible turn out for #NoKingsDay. Thank you to everyone speaking up and taking action. Dissent is patriotic!

We feed you.
They hunt us.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

I think once people realized they can bully ICE agents if they don’t have a full police escort it was kinda over for them.

Screenshot of scene from the old game Oregon Trail. There is a green graphic on a black background. The graphic is of an ox pulling a wagon and below it is says YOU HAVE LISTENED TO RFK Jr.

This is nice! Researchers often ask (if they do at all) more nuance about gender than sex (which makes sense!) but I appreciate the consideration of sexes outside the binary.

BC government faces legal challenge as national news media promote forced abstinence Two long-form articles in national news outlets are promoting the BC government's "secure care" policy the same week that the government faces a pivotal legal challenge on its expansive interpretation...

🧵 Police and governments have manipulated media to create a moral panic around crime in homeless encampments. Now, they’re taking the next step to punish unhoused residents through medical incarceration.

Once again, major newspapers are serving as tailgunner. 1/

Jesus Christ, Fauci isn’t a “scientific insider”, he’s a public servant who was doing his job to keep people as safe as he could from infectious diseases using his decades of training and expertise!! Science isn’t some exclusive club with a secret handshake or something.

I'm going to tell you something the government won't (and I can't believe I'm the one saying this): coronavirus damages the placenta. Women who are infected experience double the baseline rate of stillbirths.

I actually just lost my breath for a second

Exactly. Canada Post is not "a company" - it's a public service we all want and need and it cannot nor should not be compared to for-profit companies, especially not the least ethical companies of all time.

Yeah I got the flu that fall, it was like, alarmingly bad.

So jealous you went!! It was on my list to get to this meeting but couldn’t swing it. Looking forward to hearing more!
