How do you decide which theory, model, or framework (TMF) should guide your next implementation project? Our team has just published SELECT-IT in @implementsci.bsky.social — a four-step meta-framework that turns that question into a replicable process: doi.org/10.1186/s130... @jgrimshaw.bsky.social

Wow.
When @theglobeandmail.com headlines that piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre’s platform is an exercise in “magical thinking,” you know he’s in trouble.

My father, Frank Grimshaw, was a photographer with the UK National Coal Board in the North West of England from the late 1950s to early 1970s. He shot a remarkable body of work. We have an exhibition in Toronto, Canada 3rd May - June 22nd. (We are trying to organize a UK exhibition next year).

Almost certainly true.

But 1) the limits on individual rights were often quite local - quarantine one ship, close one restaurant, etc. They were often of short duration.

The COVID-19 pandemic meant the limits on rights were broad & lasted months

Humming along in an old church, the Internet Archive is more relevant than ever The Trump administration's erasure of federal data has put the Internet Archive in the spotlight. The organization, with its small but mighty team, is working to help save the world's digital history.

"We want to preserve public health data that are crucial for people's well-being," - social epidemiologist Nancy Krieger, on the value of the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine

It's not an exaggeration to say that the Trump/Musk regime has figured out a way to pull off a global holocaust without invading a single country or dropping a single bomb. When you see it as intentional and not as the unfortunate byproduct of cutting government waste it's very clarifying.

Health in Canada: a pivotal political moment As Justin Trudeau steps down after a decade as leader of Canada's ruling Liberal Party, Canadians face a pivotal moment. Although attention is focused on trade tariffs and souring relations with the U...

@thelancet.bsky.social editorial on Canadian healthcare. Given everything we have gone through in the last 5 years, it is easy to forgot what progress has been made (see 1st para). Implicit also is the worry that we could go backwards depending on the next election. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Easy to lose this in the noise of the day, but the prime minister of Canada just said the US president, leader of the global hegemon, wants to soften us up economically so he can annex us.

That is one of the most remarkable statements, and realities, in our history.

I’m getting so many messages from colleagues who have lost their jobs, or grants and funding

It is really heartbreaking

Appears to be back up (thankfully). However any threat to Pubmed would undermine medical science globally.

I've been stalking NIH Reporter to see if any new R01s fund at the 15% F&A rate, but... no new full R01s have funded since 2/10/2025, not a single R01 - across all of NIH - since 2/08. Only 18 grants have been newly funded - I am happy for the F31/F32/F30, R35, K99 trainees who have received $$.

All former Presidents are silent.

George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Barrack Obama, and now Joe Biden will be silent.

You don't have to hold an office to be a leader but we still do not have one.

In the meantime, Canada is doing Canada stuff and sticking to science

Today, on International Day of Women and Girls in Science, honour those who blazed a path for us.

And let’s really get under the skin of those who seek to reverse our progress or undermine the contributions that women have made in science, globally.

Trump’s Foreign Aid Freeze Leaves Millions Without HIV Treatment President Trump’s pause on aid, and the gutting of the primary aid agency, could jeopardize the health of more than 20 million people worldwide, including 500,000 children, experts say.

PEPFAR has saved over 26 million lives worldwide since 2003. PEPFAR is a bipartisan program - but its critical work is at risk because of Trump's funding freeze.

On National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, I'm calling on Trump to unfreeze PEPFAR now. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/h...
