So great to see this piece featuring @PooleWavelength delving into why sex and gender are key to the conversation on alcohol use. (Spoiler: biology matters here folks!) @womensresearch @BCWomensHosp

"The rate of women who have died from conditions attributed to alcohol increased by 26 percent from 2001 to 2017, compared with a roughly five percent increase for men." https://t.co/ywgZqXhbig

@DrLoriBrotto @greystonebooks @ubcshl Audiobook by the amazing @DrLoriBrotto?! Yes please, count me in! And a big congrats to you! Love that there’s an audio option for all of us who like to listen on the move.

[Karen Gelb @GelbKaren]

@catriona_hippma SO keen! We want patients on teams because they offer a perspective hard to garner otherwise. That coveted expertise should be recognized, respected, and suitably compensated.

[Karen Gelb @GelbKaren]

Yes! Such a wonderful piece, well done to all of you! Patients (/people/end users) bring a critical perspective to so many initiatives; expertise is valuable and should be compensated as such.

[Renee Fernandez, MD @DrRFernandez]

I am crying. Please read the story below and then comment #30 below it.

Then go to work and let your fellow doctors know that you see them and you care.

Tanya Talaga is this year’s #masseylectures.
on stage with beautiful artwork made by Indigenous youth behind her - she says in this way, she is never alone. It’s a way to make visible the belonging and resilient, Indigenous cultural continuity that she speaks of.
