... And to UFV's own research office for nominating me and covering the remainder of the costs.

Very excited to have been ably to join the Canadian Institute of Health Research Institute of Genetics New PI workshop. Such an invaluable experience for so many reasons - my mind is buzzing! Grateful to CIHR IG for covering so much of the cost of this workshop...

Adam letting me monopolize his scanner for 4 days is the best. This is just me getting drunk on data 😂

And it made me really sad that no one in the room at the time got that reference 😂

@fishguy.bsky.social you should know, I've nicknamed your scanner Mushu because I saw this and all I could hear, in my head, was Eddie Murphy's voice going, "Look, you got data! And it's happy to see you."

I spoke to Wired about the 23andMe bankruptcy and how the company would protect your data. Spoiler: It won't.

Glad it was returned!

I say this as a USian immigrant to Canada.

Don't cancel it. Just boycott it.

Let them organize, let them spend money, and watch as NO ONE shows up.

Props to the Norwegian parliament for dropping this photo

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

🇨🇦 folks - please pass on the message : #BruceFanjoy for the win. He’s going up against #Poilievre in his riding - and has been working his ass off for over a year.

If you’re on any other social media, spread the word.

Knock Poilievre out. Crush him.

#NeverPoilievre #VoteFanjoy

This is very very cool and opens up options for treatment in cases like my mom's (and to a lesser degree, probably mine, though I don't have a formal Dx) because she could not tolerate hormones. She had to stop birth control due to it paralyzing half her body temporarily.

Would this then classify endometriosis as an autoimmune disorder?

"Next time, I come too?"

They were saying those takes before. People need to learn to listen.

So much better! 😂

That's... Not comforting in the slightest jfc 😂😭

Things far more important for the Canadian economy than tax cuts for millionaires:

* Dental, pharma, vision care.
* Clean indoor air.
* Worker safety.
* Mental health care.
* Environmental health.
* Education.
* Support for chronically ill and disabled folks.
* Research funding.

This whole complying in advance thing boggles my mind.

I've started to realize that Anne Frank and her family wouldn't have been safe around a lot of people I know and loved and once respected.

That's not something you get over.

Bye Friday Harbor!

CT data of a fish head

@fishguy.bsky.social thank you!!! And Karly for the many assists

Slices through fish in a CT scanner. You are looking through the fish from the head or the tail.

So glad I got to go to #NWSDB. Bonus scanning accomplished & crab friends. @socdevbio.bsky.social the best, friendliest meetings with some of the most incredible researchers - so glad I got to join this. Here's to many more.
