In today’s instalment of “I won’t go to the ER unless I’m literally dying…” an Ottawa hospital is housing patients in the gymnasium due to overwhelming demand. We need masks in healthcare. We need to stop pretending COVID is over. We need to push back on anti-vaxx rhetoric This isn’t sustainable

Your child is not sick from lack of exposure to sickness. They do not have immunity debt. Your child born after lockdowns does not have intergenerational immunity debt. The immunity debt that your child’s mother never had was not passed on to them via her mitochondria…

It’s Friday. Your patience may be wearing thin. Check in with yourself. What do you need right now to help you get through this day? Extend grace to yourself. Extend grace to others. Keep going.

It really is that simple...

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever. #books #reading #booksky #poetry

Just read a student’s commentary on the song Iris… now it’s an ear-worm and so many memories are coming up.

OTD in 1859, Charles Darwin’s Origin of Species was published. He’d been working on a long treatise titled “Natural Selection,” but learning that Alfred Russel Wallace had developed a similar theory, he shifted toward a shorter “abstract.” 1/4 🌱🐋🧪 #histSTM #evobio
