Hey faculty! As someone who just read 500 letters of rec (as grad admissions chair), I’m here to tell you that no one EVER uses the adjective “courteous” to recommend a white man. Please think more carefully about the gendered and racialized way you speak about strong students.

⚠️We’ve received reports of a COVID-19 text message scam. If you receive a text message from the BC Centre for Disease Control with a COVID-19 test result but haven't been tested, it is fake. Official text message results all come from the same 5-digit number, not a phone number.

Important clarification regarding the new Lower Mainland #COVID19 order. No social gatherings with non-household *at all.* That means outdoors, at restaurants, in your home. "Household," however can include immediate family or close friend you see every day.

Today I stopped by our beloved community health center Plaza Del Sol (@Urbanhealthplan) to get my flu shot!

How do flu shots help COVID response? 🦠

Lower flu cases ➡️ fewer flu-related hospitalizations ➡️ more free beds for COVID treatment.

If you can, get your flu shot!

#AcademicTwitter: I used to be a horrible scientific writer. I was paralyzed by writing anxiety & it took me FOREVER to write papers. Last year I published 14 scientific articles (8 first, 2 second, 2 senior-author) & 2 book chapters.

A thread⬇️on how I became more productive:

I'm also very excited to announce that I will be staying on as a PT grants assistant! Looking forward to learning more about and assisting in #ResearchDevelopment 🧠 I'll continue to use this account to share resources until the next intern takes over! 💜

[Rookie ResDevBCCHR @rookiertdo]

I am so #Thankful for everything I've learned and everyone I met during these past 4 months as a summer intern! Thank you to @grantsfacilitat @BCCHresearch + TE + the team. Only met everyone in person once due to the pandemic but still felt so welcomed and accepted from day 1!
