I'm a molecular imaging researcher with BIOTIC in Halifax, NS, at Dalhousie, IWK and NSHA . Scientist, Wife, Mother, two cats, and an awesome lab. 🏳️‍🌈

Congrats Dr. Steven Beyea, 2023 #DiscoveryAwards Public Impact Award recipient, presented by @_ResearchNS. As an Innovation Strategy Advisor and Research Scientist @IWKHealth & Professor @DalhousieU he has left an impressive mark on healthcare, tech innovation & patient care.

Hands up, who else thinks that a woman's hair colour is her own damn business?

This thread is so sad yet accurate.

Pro-lifers don't like complexity. At 17 weeks my placenta detached and he was much too small. I thought I felt my baby's frantic attempts to breathe. My OBGYN advised me to terminate the pregnancy, there wasn't much time. But I couldn't.

Now do Plessy vs Ferguson/Brown vs Board of Education.

It was ALWAYS about control and subjugation, never about protecting life. And the fact that people who seek abortions will die is part of the appeal for those who support the ban.

[Arianna Huffington @ariannahuff]

So, to sum up the Supreme Court’s week: life begins at conception and ends in a mass shooting.

@mita_dasog Think of it this way. You live in Halifax, and the wind would have broken it soon anyway.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

It shouldn't matter what age you are. No one needs an AR-15 or any other assault weapon designed to massacre people. When we had an assault weapons ban from 1994-2004, mass shootings went down 43%. After it expired, mass shootings tripled. End the filibuster. Ban assault weapons.

I’m Jeff Bezos boo hoo hoo. I got a bazillion dollars by using algorithms to exploit workers. Waah waah be nicer to me, I’m a space jerk baby

[Bryce Warner @BryceWarner1]

Increasing CGS $ would be great and should obviously be done. But there are also students (like I was) who don’t get these scholarships, and we also need a system where PIs can afford to pay stipends above these levels for those students too!

True

This is horrific.

See this thread

[Ken Armstrong @bykenarmstrong]

In Justice Alito’s draft opinion reversing Roe, he writes about “an unbroken tradition of prohibiting abortion on pain of criminal punishment,” up until Roe in 1973.

He cites, as historical authority, Sir Matthew Hale.

Let me tell you about Hale & his views toward women.

It's right there next to "filibuster," after the section where it says the Supreme Court can only have nine Justices.

[Jorts (and Jean) @JortsTheCat]

TIP: If you’ve never said a word in public and aren’t sure how, you can just google pronounce + that word and practice. It’s easy! You can share this idea with anyone who needs to say a word out loud

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Congress must pass legislation that codifies Roe v. Wade as the law of the land in this country NOW. And if there aren’t 60 votes in the Senate to do it, and there are not, we must end the filibuster to pass it with 50 votes.

[Kim Brewer 🏳️‍🌈 @Biophys_kim]

Agreed. Oh no, a decision was leaked. I think the tens of millions of women it affects deserve to know.

[Tim Bousquet @Tim_Bousquet]

On the one hand, the court will rule that women will lose the right to control their reproductive health. On the other hand, someone leaked a document that the court will rule that women will lose the right to control their reproductive health. Both sides!
