@PaulTitchenell @bradylabupenn Great work Paul!

[Yoni Freedhoff @YoniFreedhoff]

No worries there either https://t.co/dcs6Fz7XLX

My latest in @Medscape: Seems that one by one the fear mongered risks about GLP1s get disproven. No increased suicide risk, no thyroid cancer risk, no blindness risk. But the loudest these days is the muscle loss risk. Well guess what? /1

[Rene Jacobs @JacobsLabUofA]

None who work at UofA should be remotely surprised by this.

New documents show while the University of Alberta was under mass budget cuts that resulted in layoffs and a 100% cut to child care funding, the president was spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on travel

Expenses have doubled since he took office

Sarcopenia is real, and important in many elderly. The exaggeration’s and misinformation surrounding i)the magnitude of the problem and ii)benefits of unproven solutions in the context of GLP-1 medicines are also real. Keep calm, carry on, and remain data driven #weightlloss

@audricmoses Yes the UCP set up the stupid Municipal party rules. But following these rules don't make you a UCP plant. There seems to be no place for a Centrist, as soon as they say they will be pragmatic (try to work with the UCP....Has to happen in municipal politics) they are vilified.

[Rene Jacobs @JacobsLabUofA]

@audricmoses Not everyone who disagrees with you is a villain. Policy debates are great, fight for what you believe. No need for the bs.

[Rene Jacobs @JacobsLabUofA]

Proud to have voted for @_TimCartmell for Mayor. He will serve Edmonton well!

@audricmoses Public transit way more important than bike lanes. I appreciate Tim’s view on this topic. Lots of bike trails in city for fun.
