This is super interesting -- and a bit depressing -- but I'd also like to see the equivalent survey done on teenage boys! Because I think sometimes there's an assumption that boys are being catered to with things like gym equipment, but actually... maybe they want spaces to hang out and chat, too?

The Hidden Harms of CPR The brutal procedure can save lives, but only in particular cases. Why has it become a default treatment?

Although CPR has become synonymous with medical heroism, nearly 85 per cent of those who receive it in a hospital die. Why has it remained the norm?

I really believe any one who works in city planning, roadways etc. should be required to travel to other jurisdictions and see what road design can be. Never felt unsafe biking in Amsterdam or central London...here I never would even dare.

Since 1975 (the past fifty years) global vaccination efforts have saved the lives of 154 million people, especially reducing infant deaths — by 40%.

That’s greater than the total population of France + Germany.

Please share this podcast highlighting the brilliant and visionary Dr. Danielle McCamey. I have so much respect for her and fully support her initiatives. She makes me want to be a better nurse and human.

On Red Dress Day, we honour the lives of MMIWG2S+ and fight for justice. Every red dress symbolizes remembrance and a call for change. Let’s act together to uplift Indigenous voices and demand a future of equity.
