Canadian experts are calling for provinces to share data with the Federal government so we can have a clear picture of covid. Covid is one of the top causes of death. Monitoring it needs provincial data but that is now less forthcoming coming. https://t.co/HhWJJwwpDy
Recorded this video on the microscope yesterday. A single #SARSCoV2 infected cell arrives on the brain inside a blood vessel. Don't underestimate how much neuroinflammation one infected cell can cause.
Brain-vascular-immune interface is the future of neuroscience #NeuroCovid

@picardonhealth on the future of medicine at @FMWCanada: If there’s one thing Canada does better than anywhere else, it’s studying the failings of our health systems.
We don’t have a healthcare crisis in Canada; we have an implementation crisis. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 #fmwc100
Dnes v roce 1938 vypršelo Hitlerovo ultimátum Československu. ČSR byla připravena bojovat. U toho bohužel zůstalo!
Výměna části území za mír nikdy nevedlo k míru 🤷♀️
The amount of work Dr Moriarty has put into keeping us informed about COVID is ridiculous.
What many don't see is her unfailing support & encouragement of young scientists (and even us older scientists). That alone is deserving of the Order of Canada.
"To combat the virus, she [Prof. Tara Moriarity, PhD, an infectious diseases researcher] wants to see mask mandates remain in hospitals, and for governments to launch an active information campaign to remind people of the risks of COVID-19."

Delighted that Canada is part of this important advance in research. If we don't research it how do we know we are doing it well? Peer-review, team science, size of grants ... there are data in each of these domains (and more!) k2 @CIHR_IMHA
📢On September 27, #SSHRC, @CIHR_IRSC and @HlthResearchBC will launch a new joint initiative to support research on research (also known as meta-research) in the Canadian context. For more information on this funding opportunity: https://t.co/KYjxvGdkHx
Yes, we do need to bring back masks in medical settings.
Many don’t want to appear disrespectful by asking their health-care workers to mask. Patients have a right to safety in health care facilities. #Opinion https://t.co/fFV7EpR30b
