Best Jersey ever. #Canpoli #Canada #Hockey

Stupidly Googling ´Country song « says the word » lyrics’ (the only thing I could recall from the song) and getting, unsurprisingly, a bunch of forum discussion entries of people asking « which country song says the word (…) ». 🤦‍♀️

It’s nice that I’ve been invited to a seminar on “helping trainees in emotional distress.” I should give a sister seminar on “how to not put trainees in emotional distress in the first place.”

What’s this new devilry…?

Un papa qui vient déposer une amie de ma fille à la maison : « Je pense pas que tu vas pouvoir pelleter le banc de neige pour sortir ton char… » 🖕 Tu vois la montagne de 7 pieds de haut sur mon terrain? I did that. Comme une grande. No p*nis needed.

pajama pants without pockets: WHY

Can we all take turns please? 😂😂

Do you ever wonder what you’d be like if you didn’t love music? The friends you wouldn’t have met. The moral compass you might not have picked up. The clothes you’d be wearing or the haircuts you’ve experimented with. The money you’d have spent differently on holidays instead of festival tickets.

The department of biochemistry and molecular medicine at the Université de Montréal has a job opening for an assistant/ associate professor in the field of cryo-EM and its use to study fundamental questions in biology. Please email me for details or contact the department chair, Dr. Pascale Legault.

Time zones are so CRAZY. In Denmark it’s Noon. In Canada it’s 6am. In the USA it’s the late 1930s Germany.

This one hits hard no matter how many times I watch it. Be kind to those who are different or struggle to fit in 💜 m.youtube.com/watch?v=rH9A...

Note to researchers: wouldn’t it be more efficient to circle the dates in your calendar when you’re *actually* home, rather than when you’re abroad? 😒 #singleparenting

I know many go through this, especially now. Functional depression is real. You work, joke and take care of your family but mentally you are drowning in your own thoughts and nobody knows.

I'm not particularly interested in dance, but I've watched this amazing video several times. The skill of the dancers, the physicality, the astonishing choreography (and lawdy, the editing) are entirely wonderful. It'll make you happy. youtu.be/REPPgPcw4hk?...

Almost hit a snow plow because I got distracted staring at the mounted police trotting down the boulevard. Can’t get any more Canadian than that, eh?

Note to self: befriend people who actually like you back 🤷‍♀️

I'm pleased to say that the MDPI paper in Logistics about tomatoes roaming the fields has been retracted. I've added a PS to the blogpost deevybee.blogspot.com/2025/01/toma... No indication whether anything done re the editors or peer reviewers. I have asked for information about that.

A reminder of what the conduct of science can look like when it's done well.

In case it helps.

Today is World #Cancer Day. Book a colonoscopy. Do a breast self-exam. Do a testicular self-exam or book a screening appt for cervical cancer. Get that weird mole looked at. Ask your doc about that niggling pain. Do something to help ensure that what happened to me doesn't happen to you.

Today is #worldcancerday2025🎗️ So many people out there are at war with this silent killer, that poisons both body and mind. Keep fighting and repeat after me: What do we say to the God of Death? « Not today. » 💪
