It’s time for #NSGC22! I’m attending virtually this year and it’s my first time back as a practicing GC. Can’t wait to take in all the exciting sessions and do LOADS of knitting while I listen 🧶

Henrietta Lacks, whose cancer cells are the source of the first immortalised human cell line #HeLa, would have been 100 this year. This #BlackHistoryMonth we celebrate her life and the crucial work carried out every day by #blackscientists around the world.

@VanessaPorter Just listened to a @MyFavMurder episode about these women! So spooky and interesting. Good choice for a Halloween read.

Today is #OrangeShirtDay, where we recognize the harm that residential schools inflicted on Indigenous communities and honour those impacted. We also join together in the spirit of reconciliation and commit to ensuring that Indigenous children matter. 🧡 #EveryChildMatters

#DYK that you can pick wild fruit in designated orchards in the @GulfIslandsNPR? Spent part of the weekend cycling around Mayne Island picking 🍎 and 🍐. Now to wait for the next big rainfall so we can go mushroom foraging!

So yeah, I was today years old when I learned the golf brand @Titleist is pronounced “Title-ist”.

Not “Tit-leist”. 😅

No #BackToSchool for me this fall, but today marked my 1st day as a GC in our provincial Prenatal Biochemistry Lab. Surrounded by the sweet sounds of -80 freezer alarms and tinkling glassware reminded me of my roots at the bench! 🔬🧪 So excited to join this fantastic group 🤩

Must read piece from Nature. "I want scientists to acknowledge that HeLa cells came from an African American woman who was flesh & blood, who had a family & who had a story,” Henrietta Lacks's granddaughter Jeri Lacks-Whye told @nature
