@KirstyDuncanPhD Sending you strength and support my dear friend. So glad you are back to some exploring before the next treatment. Enjoy! ❤️

[Kirsty Duncan @KirstyDuncanPhD]

Research is for all of us.

It requires support, not chaos.

Researchers push boundaries, and must be free to explore, collaborate, challenge, present inconvenient truths, and speak to the media.

When research is threatened, we have a duty to speak up for those who cannot.

@KirstyDuncanMP Good to see you back in action on here old friend!! Can you DM me? Have some news to share.

Okay @porterairlines . Have been sitting on last flight out of Ottawa for almost an hour now. Apparently waiting for 12 connecting passengers. Too cheap to put them up? Who is your priority? Profit or customers?? #CustomerServiceFail
