@OVCPathobiology Welcome Alex, and thanks for finally displacing me from the ‘new kid’ position!

@VetPathophile To be fair, I default to it’s a pink and purple background when reviewing brain too…

[Emma Borkowski DVM DACVP PhD MRCVS FHEA @SHaemonchus]

@OntarioSheep Wish I could have been there with you! Fingers crossed for next year 🤞

[Emma Borkowski DVM DACVP PhD MRCVS FHEA @SHaemonchus]

@VetPathophile My favourite part is them acknowledging frenchies are financial time bombs then doing surprised pikachu face when the time bomb exploded…

Ontario goat farmers - we need you again! This summer we are running a study to understand how goats develop immune responses to nematode parasites. Check out this poster, share widely, and get in touch to learn more! @OntarioGoat @uofg @OVCPathobiology

@VetPathophile I use those for fecal egg counts. We need them indestructible and unafraid of concentrated salt splashing on them.

@deadanimaldoc I’ve got a spare

@ACVP Our residents hand drew cards for each faculty member. A photo in one of my lectures inspired this one 🤣

[Emma Borkowski DVM DACVP PhD MRCVS FHEA @SHaemonchus]

Well, sh*t. It’s finally got me, despite wearing an N95 the whole conference. Timing suggests I got it in transit coming home. Damn overexcited, unmasked junior girls’ hockey team…

[Emma Borkowski DVM DACVP PhD MRCVS FHEA @SHaemonchus]

@ACVP They were all out of props, so I had to go with the French girl pose 😂

[Emma Borkowski DVM DACVP PhD MRCVS FHEA @SHaemonchus]

Well this happened @ACVP. There must be something in Guelph’s water 😂

[Emma Borkowski DVM DACVP PhD MRCVS FHEA @SHaemonchus]

@VetPathophile Can you help me with my 4 grant applications in a battle royals for attention?

[Emma Borkowski DVM DACVP PhD MRCVS FHEA @SHaemonchus]

Well, the bump in the night was another of my flock kicking the bucket. Sorry leukaemia got you Sorbet, but thanks for the lesions! Pretty sure liver should not be 1) that colour or 2) that big…

[Emma Borkowski DVM DACVP PhD MRCVS FHEA @SHaemonchus]

@VetPathophile Could be worse - my stuff didn’t get to Canada until late May. It was packed and collected in December…

[Emma Borkowski DVM DACVP PhD MRCVS FHEA @SHaemonchus]

Then the mini Lego museum. Me too, Lego dude, me too 😂

[Emma Borkowski DVM DACVP PhD MRCVS FHEA @SHaemonchus]

My odd sense of humour found a couple of gems at the National Museum in Edinburgh this afternoon. 1/3

[Emma Borkowski DVM DACVP PhD MRCVS FHEA @SHaemonchus]

Nothing says wedded bliss like a battle royals culminating in likely starvation. 2/3

[Emma Borkowski DVM DACVP PhD MRCVS FHEA @SHaemonchus]

@deadanimaldoc No kidding. I have a pattern of going places right as major deaths occur. Must come of being a pathologist…

[Emma Borkowski DVM DACVP PhD MRCVS FHEA @SHaemonchus]

The grief and shock was palpable in Edinburgh this evening. My deepest sympathies to the people of the U.K. as they navigate the historic changes to come.
