Congratulations to Katie Bouman to whom we owe the first photograph of a black hole ever. Not seeing her name circulate nearly enough in the press.
Amazing work. And here’s to more women in science (getting their credit and being remembered in history) 💥🔥☄️
I can’t thank the Vickaryous lab enough for welcoming me into the Eublephosphere this past year! I’m eternally grateful to be part of a lab that fosters so much positivity, creativity and critical thinking. Each member has been such an incredible mentor for me 😊🦎 #🐜
@CardiacKathy Thank you so much Kathy! I couldn’t have asked for better mentors and role models this year than you and the rest of the Eublephosphere ❤️❤️
Dr. Rupa Marya discusses biases in healthcare and how one unique case of ST elevation was missed because of them. This syst. review comprehensively examines implicit biases in healthcare and their association with lower care quality. https://t.co/BVeuBPlMuT #biom4180
Do you love #sweets?: Think again. A new study suggests, the more sugar-sweetened beverages you consume, the greater the risk of premature death, from cardiovascular disease and #cancer. Read more @MDLinx, https://t.co/64jwFV3Ccy.

Huge news! If this is successful, it will be interesting to see how this program affects CVD rates as this cohort gets older. Not only will children be getting important nutrients as they develop, but will be learning healthy eating habits from a young age! #biom4180
We have the first ever commitment from the federal government to work with the provinces and territories towards the creation of a National School Food Program. Now let’s wrap up front-of-package labelling and pass Bill S-228! @GinettePT#Budget2019@FoodSecureCAN@C4HschoolFood
No medication!

@MarcineSara I wonder if a potential confounding variable here could be that people who care for their oral health well are more likely to eat healthy, take care of their body etc? #BIOM4180
Another article highlighting the need for personalized medicine in healthcare. We are aware of sex differences in morphine analgesia, but it’s crazy to consider just how many drugs on the market could be underperforming due to biological differences! #biom4180
Research presented at the American College of Cardiology Scientific Expo (New Orleans) demonstrated that an increased body weight appears to be associated with decreased response to daily aspirin doses in those with coronary artery disease #biom4180

After doing some research, it looks like periodontal disease increased the body’s inflammatory burden and contributes to dev. of atherosclerosis! Makes sense as to why specifically fluoride in the water was found to be so protective! #BIOM4180 https://t.co/DUKk81O7No
Tried of scale buildup in your kettle due to @cityofguelph's hard water? Turns out, researchers found that areas with harder water had lower incidence of heart disease, even when accounting for lifestyle factors #biom4180

“We only use males in our research because that is the traditional model.” This is one of the answers to the questions of why there are sex differences in research. I guess that is one way to justify it... #FillingTheGaps
Individuals taking hormone therapy when undergoing gender transition may be at an increased risk for cardiovascular problems such as stroke, blood clots and heart attacks. #BIOM4180 https://t.co/nkNEoxD5sK
@glenpyle@Brenna_biom If it was moved to the left, would both lines be showing ventricular diastole? It looks like the LV is hypokinetic bc there isn’t much difference between systole and diastole.
