The tallest, deepest and more in Canada, a thread!

The tallest mountain in Canada is Mount Logan, which rises to 5,959 metres in the Yukon. It is named for Sir William Edmond Logan.
The mountain increases in size by .35 mm each year.

If the current blood supply situation doesn’t teach us that good PBM is essential moving forward, I don’t know what will!

Empowering Biomedical Scientists to challenge APPROPRIATELY in the right situations is vitally important!

Dear those who are #ClingingToNormal: I understand the situation is challenging to accept. People wearing masks around you may induce anxiety as they make it hard to deny there is a highly-infectious pathogen floating around in the air. These feelings are understandable. 1/

Congratulations on this important research @mlpaoceo - there is such little formal study into our profession, but it's vital - the pandemic helped make that obvious. Much work to do. Thank you for your #labvocacy #medlab

Passionate and dedicated to high quality patient care, but they face significant barriers. We need to pay attention

"The Forgotten (Invisible) Healthcare Heroes"

✅COVID contributed to the notable and existing staff shortage;
✅the pandemic reinforced that med lab employees are forgotten within the healthcare system..
and more.

Invest in labs now. @fordnation
