Goosebump producing news this week out of Oregon Health and Science University in the diagnosis of pancreatic CA. They developed a groundbreaking blood test, called PAC-MANN. This new test can find pancreatic cancer in just 45 minutes, even in its earliest stages.

Donald Trump says Canada has no right to exist. I take the threat seriously. With our sovereignty on the table I support a national discussion on next steps. But CBC thinks it would be fun to have an American DJ co-host whether we should exist as a nation. Fuck that @ianhanomansing.bsky.social

“In their eagerness to surrender to Trump the convoy is effectively surrendering any claim they might have had to our flag. No longer will it be associated with a movement that sought to undermine and interfere with our collective wellbeing and safety” 🎯🎯 #Canada www.nationalobserver.com/node/44750

A brief thread of a personal illustration of the benefits of science, antibiotics, and vaccines over this past century: - I discovered in my twenties that I had an aunt I didn’t know had existed. They had died young, in the 1930’s, of meningitis at age 2 (no antibiotics/vaccines at the time)

Errrrrr Ozempic was a direct result of Daniel Drucker's work, a Canadian in Canada. And it was developed by a Danish pharmaceutical company. But sure let's claim it's American to try and make a point.

Note that Ozempic was discovered by a Canadian researcher and developed by a Danish company. You know, the two former allies the rogue state is now threatening.

What a gem the CBC is! Telling our stories. All the time. Everywhere. Poilievre promises to kill the CBC within 100 days and (plausibly) sell-off the radio and TV assets to Musk / Murdoch-type oligarchs? Let's #SavetheCBC & Vote strategically to stop the Cons from winning the next election. #Canada

Hey Canada - hope you’re watching the insane shitshow south of the border and the colossal amount of hurt and damage being done, and know how hard it’ll be to fix it. Because you have the chance to stop that happening right here at home with one simple “X”. Never. Vote. For. Poilievre. See? Easy.

With all the carnage being indiscriminately wrought on scientists in the US, remember, a war on science is a lost war. Science doesn’t care what you or anybody else thinks. You either embrace science or you chase imaginary demons. It took us centuries to realize this.

Supporting Canadian should also extend to the media we consume. Postmedia is majority owned by a Republican-connected US hedge fund thanks to legislation the Conservatives pushed through AFTER they lost in 2015. It was a Republican takeover of Canadian media. #Canada #BuyCanadian #cdnpoli

I see an end to cancer through massive progress in research in precision medicine. I see people with diabetes never again needing insulin. I see control of diseases through advanced imaging and new discoveries. Many of these are powered by NIH funded scientists. The US has just pulled the plug.
