Had a busy day reviewing students’ qualitative research questions. It was amazing to see the lenses & interests they chose. But, as expected, some were a bit too broad or a bit too narrow, but together we reached that Goldilocks goal: a question that’s just right 🥰

If Covidence tracked hours screening articles the way fitness watches track steps, I suspect I’d have a very strong (and very high) streak going right now!
Well… the search for relevant articles continues… 🔎

This amazing scientific advance may one day lead to either more effective treatments or dare I say perhaps a cure.
This is why it is vitally important to fund basic scientific research.

Just walked by a colleague's classroom after my class finished and he was talking about Elvis, getting blank stares and so he had to ask "Does anyone know who Elvis Presley is?"
It's rough out here on these teaching streets.
I spent my Monday replying to student emails with my “teaching assistant hat” on. It still feels a little surreal that students now come to *me* with their questions and ideas 🤯🥹

Happy International Women’s Day. Forward.
I had my annual PhD committee meeting & am feeling so relieved! My committee not only approved my progress but was impressed with how my work has been developing 🥹
Feeling excited for the months ahead and hoping to keep this momentum going. ✨

Well WW3 did start in 2026 in Star Trek.
"The things that will DESTROY US are:
POLITICS WITHOUT PRINCIPLES;
PLEASURE WITHOUT CONSCIENCE;
WEALTH WITHOUT WORK;
knowledge without character;
BUSINESS WITHOUT MORALITY;
SCIENCE WITHOUT HUMANITY;
and worship without sacrifice."
~ Mahatma Gandhi
I don't want to be politically engaged. I want to read books and watch Star Trek. Unfortunately, the world.
Congress rejected massive cuts to US science budgets for 2026, but much of the money still isn’t flowing to researchers.
The culprit? The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is quietly slow-walking the release of funds. 🧵👇
Finished 2 mock physio school interviews with this year’s mentees. I'm reminded of how important mentorship is in getting more women into a historically male-dominated profession. I’m so proud of them for getting this far and have my fingers crossed for their acceptance 🤞🏼👩🏻🔬

Canada’s first Inuit-led university will be a game changer for the North.
Could not be more proud of you, Team Canada.
You’re coming home with 21 hard-fought Olympic medals. Though what Canadians will remember most is how you wore the Maple Leaf: with pride, with grit, and with determination.

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes!
"Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."
