Really gross stuff. Jagmeet Singh was born in Canada. This is just flagrant, unapologetic racism.

I’ll be deleting my account soon. I’m moving over to Bluesky.

This is an outright lie. HPV vaccine is associated with unprecedented DECLINES in cancer rates. Despite what the redemption campaign wants you to believe, RFK is an anti-vax ZEALOT.

Finally finding a moment to catch up on this day and taking a moment to send a message to my former colleague Chrystia Freeland, thinking of you. Despite his tarnished reputation, borrowing the rhythm of Kipling, because it's matchless. Hold your head high, my friend. This is for you.

The fight against #COVID19 has been a crash course in adapting quickly to a rapidly evolving virus. CoVaRR-Net’s Pillar 1 has been on the front line of that fight. Its work has left an indelible mark on pandemic preparedness & vaccine research. Read more: tinyurl.com/ner2txwy

With CoVaRR-Net’s funding coming to an end, members reflect on the Network’s impact. In Part 2, they focus on CoVaRR-Net’s role in training 195 #HQP, strengthening the future of Canadian health research and in educating Canadians. covarrnet.ca/the-myriad-ben…

And in 1996, Indonesia awarded him the Bintang Jasa Utama (the country's highest national award) His actions in 1947 cemented ties between two of Asia's most important countries Biju Patnaik remains one of India's most remarkable 20th century politicians

You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game.

Pitt to pause PhD admissions, following Vanderbilt and USC, because of uncertainty of NIH funding to academic universities. Who will teach and train US scientists for pharma and biotech? Should we import them from countries that do? wesa.fm/health-science…

Weeks ago, I predicted #Pubmed would go down—and now it has. The impact on scientists worldwide is profound. This is our life’s work, including countless publications funded by taxpayers, and it’s devastating that a malicious group of individuals has taken it offline. The public

“Indigenous sovereignty has never been a threat to Canada… it is an essential foundation on which British Columbia and Canada is built.” Grateful to have worked with Jody Wilson-Raybould (JWR), PC, OBC, KC 王州迪 on this important Op-Ed. indiginews.com/first-person/a…
