Spring digital issue 2026 | DontWalk iRun Celebrate International Women's Day and Run the World.

An article featuring Indigenous Women Outdoors and myself for #InternationalWomensDay in iRun Magazine! www.dontwalkirun.ca/sping-digita...

Would be a great choice for a quick read on #InternationalWomensDay, too.

From the “to be RE-read” pile: The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Stetson (1892). A novella about a woman locked away in a 19th century sanitoria-like setting to cure her “nervous condition,” by her physician husband who “knows best,” where she fixates on the yellow wallpaper of her bedroom.

In support of Stand Up For Science, enjoy this science:

Stars that go supernova are responsible for creating many of the elements of the periodic table (e.g. C, Fe), including those that make up our bodies

You & I are both made up of the same star dust

Stop funding wars and start funding science

'One year of failure.' The Lancet slams RFK Jr.'s first year as health chief In a scathing review, the top US medical journal's editorial board warned that the "destruction that Kennedy has wrought in 1 in office might take generations to repair."

your face is so dewy what’s your secret

If I have to attend another keynote presentation that uses AI generated infographics and images of people (trained on stock images, making it just look like an uncanny stock image—so just use a stock image?)
I miss the days of taking our own photos, slides that are too busy, and the occasional typo.

Thanks! :)

It’s my 33rd birthday! Here are some of my favourite things: skiing, trail running, beading, and learning new things! I played piano a little as a kid and decided yesterday that I would rent a keyboard and give it another go.

From the #TBR pile: On the Calculation of Volume series, by Solvej Balle. Just read book 3 yesterday and it is ONLY getting better; looking forward to book 4 in April. Kudos to the translators, for an intimate and lyrical read. I enjoy my time spent trapped in the 18th of November with Tara Selter.

Just finished up some *light reading* from the #TBR pile, it was taking so long I had to switch to the audiobook haha. The Origins of Totalitarianism by Hannah Arendt, eerily relevant in 2026 as it was when it was first published. Sigh.

Cool! I stayed at Barefoot Manta Island almost ten years ago. It is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been and I couldn’t believe how much life was in the water!

The gaslighting should absolutely not be surprising, yet it shocks me anyway.

Anne Frank died from a typhus epidemic that spread through the concentration camp where she was imprisoned.

From the #TBR pile: the much anticipated Fair Doses by Seth Berkley (2025), about his experience as CEO of GAVI and the creation of COVAX, whose goal was equitable global rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines. I will be thinking deeply about the lessons learned he shares, as they apply to my research. 💉

This and decades of people disparaging Arts degrees as useless

No one is illegal on stolen land.

But also, for the love of all, SHH! Who wrote this!

Red eye to Montreal then straight to the slopes at Tremblant! ⛷️Such a beautiful day was impossible to resist. Looking forward to a productive week with @cedrn.bsky.social and new colleagues at the Network of Canadian Emergency Researchers annual scientific meeting ❄️🦠 #emergencyresearch #NCER

Catherine O’Hara passing today breaks my heart. I was not ready.

More beadwork recently ✨ made for a friend.

Keep your peer reviews richly detailed, a little ranty, and poorly formatted. Let your editors know you definitely did not use AI. Nay, make them wish you did!

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

As someone who doesn’t feel precious about the physical state of books and believes they are meant to be read, handled, shared - I agree! It’s interesting!

I picked up a copy of Wuthering Heights from a used book store for cheap, and it comes with illustrations and incisive commentary. #Booksky

Adolescents’ screen time displaces multiple sleep pathways and elevates depressive symptoms over twelve months Recently the Swedish Public Health Agency published recommendations of a maximum of two-to-three hours of daily leisure screen time for adolescents aged 13–18, partly to promote better sleep (2024-Sep...

This study of 4,800 Swedish teens shows screen time disrupts sleep, and those sleep changes drive higher depressive symptoms—especially for girls. Strong evidence that youth mental health policy needs to focus on sleep as much as screens.

What a loss for many communities. ❤️‍🩹

I keep forgetting to share more of my #beadwork. This is a housewarming gift I made for a dear friend a few months ago.
