We’ve been skiing every weekend since December 22. Looking forward to tomorrow too ❄️⛷️

One reason why I have been doing a bit of run commuting.

Just how bad is traffic in Halifax? New data ranks Halifax the third worst in Canada for traffic congestion, and it's not getting better. The province and city are working on solutions, but experts say it's clear what must be done. The ...

When sitting on the bus the other day, I kept count for what I could... and NOT including work/delivery vehicles, I counted 75 single-occupant vehicles, for only 13 with more than one person. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

WFH and a power outage is not a good combination 🥺

➡️ This review highlights the urgent need to standardize measurement methods and strengthen monitoring efforts, in order to better understand sources, fate and transport, and the potential impacts of micro- and #nanoplastics on human health and the environment.

➡️ #Microplastics are also a diverse #contaminant suite that are ubiquitous in the Canadian #environment.

➡️ We reviewed reviewed studies across Canada that reported microplastics in #freshwater and #seawater, #sediments, #soils, #air, #snow, and, in biota.

Just received last semesters Student Learning Experience Questionnaires (SLEQ) reports for my two Fall courses.

I panicked for a moment until I realized the scores were out of 4 and not 5, as in previous years.

Well, that’s demoralizing. 🥺

Especially after 2h of snow shoveling this morning.
