This is so deeply upsetting, I can’t find words to express my shock and sadness. Mourning the loss of these students and thinking of their parents, family, friends, and all the members of our community who will be so affected by this. RIP, love to all.

[UBC News and University Affairs @UBCNews]

Today our UBC community is mourning the tragic deaths of two students.

This is such excellent news, @TamCohenPhDRD - congratulations!!! 👏👏

[UBC Faculty of Land and Food Systems @ubcLFS]

🎉 Congratulations to LFS researcher @TamCohenPhDRD & @DrAlberga (@Concordia) on receiving a @CIHR_IRSC grant for their national project to find issues important to pregnant women during maternity care visits. (1/2)

[Candice Rideout @carideout]

These strategies would be so helpful when talking to anyone who thinks climate change is not an issue, too!

[Timothy Caulfield @CaulfieldTim]

Talking to a vaccine-hesitant family member or friend? Those conversations tough but so important.

My (not comprehensive) list of things to consider.

Do you realise what a radical thing libraries are? Publicly-funded spaces where you can access information, countless books, and the internet even if you are homeless? There is a reason why people in power want to convince you they are superfluous and should be defunded.

[Candice Rideout @carideout]

Agree with this 100%. Such a powerful way to support and celebrate people - and, more often than not, I find it actually brings tears of happiness/gratitude to my eyes to be able to acknowledge others' amazingness 🥰

[Dave Whiteside @dave__whiteside]

Hey, you.

Build someone up today. Pump their tires. Tell them how often you notice the things that make them great.

Your partner, your friend, your neighbour, your parent, your barista, your colleague, it doesn’t matter who. Just build them up.

Then start again tomorrow.

[Candice Rideout @carideout]

@pacific_wren This made me laugh out loud - thank you! 😂

[Candice Rideout @carideout]

@SteveUBC If we are still in Phase 3 when classes start, and organized gatherings are limited ("Indoor organized gatherings 50 people or 50% capacity, whichever is greater" https://t.co/FCehqN4qM2), it seems like most in-person classes actually cannot proceed face-to-face? @ubc @ubcprez

[Candice Rideout @carideout]

So many @ubc classes include hundreds of students in cramped quarters with little ventilation (actively engaging with each other, talking! laughing!). Please protect our learning environments @ubcprez and implement vaccine mandate at #UBC - our safety and wellbeing depends on it.

[Justin McElroy @j_mcelroy]

B.C. government says vaccine mandate will be in place in post-secondary education student housing, indoor clubs and gyms, and a host of other places, but NOT in classrooms.

However, individual universities and colleges can build on these policies on their own, if they choose.

[Candice Rideout @carideout]

The report "included one unambiguously positive finding: the level of devastation we face is in our collective hands. If the world slashes emissions now and reduces them to net zero by 2050 we would... avoid the worst impacts of climate change." https://t.co/S5LkRTToDN

Any UBC students 18-30 years old interested in volunteering with the 'Stop Marketing to Kids Coalition' to advocate for fulfillment of Healthy Eating Strategy commitments to restrict marketing of unhealthy food/beverages to children? Check out info here: https://t.co/AKqkPgeIJd

Just signed @standearth petition to stop old growth forests in BC from logging: https://t.co/Bst1dSewUI

[Stand.earth @standearth]

Old growth forests are nature's way to keep us cool during heat waves and keep our planet cool by storing massive amounts of carbon. It's clear that old growth forests are worth more standing, and it's past time the @bcndp stopped logging what remains.

Vancouver and the entire region is baking right now…
The Medium article linked here is so apt — one of many calls to act we so desperately need to listen to. To save a sliver of our imperfect world.

[Candice Rideout @carideout]

@funnyfishes Ack!! Sending strong computer-be-well vibes!

[Candice Rideout @carideout]

@funnyfishes Wow, this actually instantaneously brought tears to my eyes, and I had to stifle a sob, trying not to alarm those around me. So important!

[Candice Rideout @carideout]

Just signed the petition to request the reactivation of this search, given the new clues https://t.co/MbSlDhWlNN Sending very best wishes
