A recent heartwarming example of people coming together: to prevent our power grid from collapsing due to extreme weather, an emergency alert encouraged Albertans to limit their electricical usage. The community's response? 150MW decrease within minutes!

[Blake Shaffer 📊🇨🇦🇺🇦 @bcshaffer]

Here's a zoomed in version. Load fell about 150MW in the minutes after the alert went out, has continued to fall rapidly since.

THIS JUST IN: Science says that university assignments can be creative and fun! If you spend any time in a classroom, as a student or an educator, this paper we recently punished on using a playwriting assignment to teach disability theory is worth a read!https://t.co/iwrfUuP6Hs

As always, it's a pleasure to work with you!

And that's a wrap! Thank you @Integrativeonc and @Linda_E_Carlson for a truly fantastic conference. Beautiful scenery, innovative ideas, and fun party animals! #sio2023

[Athina Spiropoulos @AthinaSpiro]

I'm psyched about #psychedelics... bet you never heard that one before... either way, what a wonderful way to close off #sio2023 and some practical information on the current clinical approach to psychedelic assisted therapies.

[Athina Spiropoulos @AthinaSpiro]

Want to implement #integrative_medicine in your oncology practice? Of course you do! @Linda_E_Carlson and her collaborators have some evidence based recommendations for the treatment of depression and anxiety #Sio2023

[Athina Spiropoulos @AthinaSpiro]

You can always count on @Integrativeonc to integrate research and clinical practice in a rigorous and impactful way! I would highly recommend you check out the recently published SIO-ASCO guidelines on #depression and #anxiety for #cancer patients: https://t.co/EnYwT8ktX6

[Athina Spiropoulos @AthinaSpiro]

No doubt about it... we are asking the big questions at #sio2023

[Athina Spiropoulos @AthinaSpiro]

Genuinely one of the most impactful pieces of modern art I have ever seen. Thanks #sio2023 and Cherie Sampson for a truly incredible, emotional, and contemplative experience.

[Dr. Linda E. Carlson 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 @Linda_E_Carlson]

Powerful theatre performance at #sio2023 from Cherie Sampson sharing her breast cancer experience through dance and mixed media to a packed house. @Integrativeonc

[Athina Spiropoulos @AthinaSpiro]

What a great start to #SIO2023! I am so grateful to have the opportunity to chat with such inspiring mentors, and I can already tell this conference is going to be an amazing one. Stay tuned!

[Athina Spiropoulos @AthinaSpiro]

Not that it's a competition, but I bet my evening was better than yours! I watched the incredible documentary #CanYouHearMyVoice which showcases a choir made up of laryngectomized cancer survivours, followed by a spectacular panel session with @Linda_E_Carlson and @jmdeleem87.

[Athina Spiropoulos @AthinaSpiro]

Congratulations @jmdeleem87 !! Your work is so innovative and inspiring, this Fellowship is well deserved!

[Dr. Julie Deleemans @jmdeleem87]

Thrilled and honoured to be ranked #2 in the competition and awarded the 2023 CIHR Postdoctoral Fellowship award for my work on the soon to start Chemo-Gut Probiotic Trial! Thank you @Linda_E_Carlson and @CIHR_ICR for your support! @UCalgaryPsyOnc @UCalgaryMed
