@suzannelabanane So true - it’s such an important space for young people to experience many of their “firsts”: first time to fully feel safe & not be ashamed of who you are, first steps to grow/love/accept yourself more, first sense of freedom, & first time falling in love.

Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. #goodtrouble

"High-Intensity Exercise Can Boost Memory By 30%, New Study Finds" says the headline. Wow! Of course, much more impressively, the "non-aerobic seated and standing stretching" control group (RPE 8.3) boosted memory by 42%. The spin is making my head spin!

Significant increase in health spending planned for B.C. this year.

@ubcspph Prof. Michael Law says politics definitely plays a role in health care spending, but it also relates to the economy and medical advancements. https://t.co/UkTyjn85ma

This year, Bianca Andreescu and Rafael Nadal each got paid exactly the same amount ($3.85M) for winning their respective US Opens Finals.

Know why it's equal?

Because in 1973, @BillieJeanKing threatened to boycott the tournament unless women were paid the same as men.

HISTORIQUE. 🇨🇦
