@PierrePoilievre Nothing wrong with field-specific terminology among professionals. Prefer ignorance? Ridicule what you don’t understand. Want to learn? Ask or read. Most of us wouldn’t understand a talk given at a conference for electricians-you call them common people-I call them professionals.

@PierrePoilievre @elonmusk do you endorse equating the government-funded media label to propaganda?

@twisteddoodles My husband and I lived in Ireland for a few years. I picked up "giving out" and still find myself using that one

Birds do it, bees do it, but until recently, no marine critters were thought to do it. (Pollination, that is 🌺) #PollinatorWeek

Rainbow smelt stole an antifreeze gene from herring and became natural GMOs, in a process similar to what has been developed in the lab. How did it happen? https://t.co/6okTsSGjU2 via @CBCNews @queensuResearch @queensu

@SarahEMC2 I would understand it as tired since tuckered out means tired, from Ontario Canada

The amazing @ClaricePhelps39 made history twice when she helped discover a new element, and was the first African-American woman to do so. She was then wiped off Wikipedia.

When scientists say “there is no evidence” or an event is “rare,” sometimes it’s because that evidence is genuinely hard to collect. We should say that.

Examples:
- Asymptomatic transmission
- Airborne transmission
- Transmission from kids sheltering at home

Seriously? According to the Ontario Ministry of Health, a healthcare worker that tested positive for COVID-19, “May return to work as soon as 24 hours after symptom resolution; AND Continue with appropriate PPE at work…”https://t.co/SZtH39lBnk

Antibiotic overuse can lead to antibiotic resistance. That's why students at the University of Guelph have won an international award for creating a sensor that can detect antibiotics in animal products like milk and honey: https://t.co/VuIznaJ2yI via @CBCNews @uofg @UofGResearch
