Fun fact: @WestJet thinks it's perfectly acceptable to move half of my family from the premium economy seats I booked and paid for months ago to the back of the aircraft with no notice or recourse. I remember when this company prided itself on customer experience. Total joke.

Amazing that so many seemingly great business ideas fail, but every small town in Ontario has a store that sells sun catchers and bird seed.

Happy Friday! Treat yourself to this made-in-Canada tune that, despite being released nearly two decades ago, really captures the current state of the world. https://t.co/dyI5TsfNqU

Hoping to turn a grad course into a #scicomm course! If anyone has any examples of successful models, please share! We need to have science communicated and ambassadors for science more than ever before! RT's appreciated!

An illustration of how problematic academic publishing is: I was just advised that "as a professional courtesy and our way of saying thanks for publishing with us, we provide each article's corresponding author with a complimentary PDF"

A *complimentary* PDF of a paper we wrote.

I am writing a self-help book for #partners of individuals with #depression. If you know anyone who has a partner with depression and would be willing to meet by Zoom for a 30-45 min interview, please spread the word.

@strosow @WesternU I would like to know why some units were informed of the impending closure by 8am (or earlier) while many of us learned of the closure an hour later (after commuting to campus for these early classes). Totally unacceptable flow of information.

@andpru So CIHR will be headed up by a decorated physician and award winning medical researcher, while the NIH is in the hands of a man who fed part of his brain to a parasitic worm.
