@MichelCayouette Sometimes people are overwhelmed. Like the time I had to eat a whole box of chocolates. Exhausted.

[Sinai Health @SinaiHealth]

Sinai Health researchers have developed an “immune cloaking” technology that protects transplants from rejection in unmatched hosts in a bid to eliminate the need for immunosuppressive drugs in transplant patients. https://t.co/773PpA3FfG

Deneddylation of ribosomal prots ->Potent in vivo synergy w standard of care (complete responses). Crispr screens ->mech. Less DNA damage but more cell death led by RPs leaving nucleolus. No tox in vivo. Same Mech in retinoblastoma & multiple myeloma. https://t.co/7O8fElGHJ3

Deneddylation of ribosomal proteins promotes synergy between MLN4924 and chemotherapy to elicit complete therapeutic responses https://t.co/UtecC6aZ7l

@philmcdonald94 @RTG_Podcast No matter what the thoughts are on Stewart’s ability as Captain and defender, there is no place for this behaviour. It belongs in the prehistoric era.

[Rod Bremner @BremnerRod]

@philmcdonald94 Thanks for standing up Anthony. Racist garbage is from insecure people who are weak. Do they show their faces? That tells you a lot. AFC has a bunch of these dubious types and we, AFC fans, want to be free of them. Anthony, stand strong!

Aberdeen captain Anthony Stewart posting on Instagram to say that he’s suffered racist abuse following last weekend’s game against St Mirren.

@al_ghabkari @MichelCayouette You have emotion in ur tweets but no facts. Qatar treats women better than e.g Saudi Arabia, but women can’t leave Qatar alone until age 25. Men 18. That is prejudicial (unfair). Misogyny = prejudice against women.

[Rod Bremner @BremnerRod]

Qatar, great world cup. Yay, money buys a lot. But it doesn’t hide your bigotry, slavery, and homophobia. None of those are culturally acceptable. Just treat human beings with respect. Simple.

[Rod Bremner @BremnerRod]

@al_ghabkari Male Qataris can leave Qatar on own at 18. Women at 25. Not « good culture », but misogyny. Stop hiding behind « culture » to protect bad practices.

[Rod Bremner @BremnerRod]

@al_ghabkari My Egyptian colleague’s brother works in Qatar. Describes pay as « deeply racist ». Whites > N Africans > S Asians:S africans same job. Guardian, Amnesty Int. report same and dire conditions for many workers. As Egyptian, more pay with Canadian passport. = Bigotry, not culture.

[Andrew Pruszynski @andpru]

Canada is just not a serious scientific country. We had such hope under @JustinTrudeau @cafreeland but alas here we are...

[Brad Wouters 🇨🇦 @bradwouters]

The $2.5B NIH increase is 2.8X the entire CIHR budget. Total NIH ($47.5B) is 54X the entire CIHR budget - 6X per capita. Canada needs to double tri-council budgets now and build a long term strategy for systematic investments.

The Goodman is an impressive institute. Amazing trainees. Talented and fun. Montreal rocks!

@McGillGCI @gcss_gci A huge THANK YOU! To the GCSS leaders and organizers and the the GCI support team for a splendid day of exciting science! Thank you @BremnerRod for joining our community for one day and for a great Keynote.

Qatar needs to stop going all medieval on LGBT+. Tell FIFA to use world cup to urge then to change their barbaric stance. Sign the petition.. https://t.co/9br110Nv3E

[Rod Bremner @BremnerRod]

Qatar and Wales - both ~3M population
Wales worker deaths 11 PER YEAR
Qatar migrant worker deaths since awarded world cup: ~12 PER WEEK. 650 per year. 6500 in ten yrs.
FIFA: speak out louder please. Like the Australians just did:

With Boris humpty dumpty Johnson now looking to get it back together again, I’m warmed by his old pal turned back stabber Dominic Cummings characterization of BJ as a « complete fuckwit » https://t.co/yypcmj2blb
