BREAKING: Toronto Police have released data showing Black people were 230% more likely to have a police officer point a firearm at them when they appeared to be unarmed than white people.

I don't want to hear anyone say that systemic racism doesn't exist in policing EVER AGAIN.

Troubling lack of diversity—of participants, geography and values—in fast-growing field exploring nature’s effect on people. Our results suggest a strong Western-World bias in current research.

[The Lancet Global Health @LancetGH]

In a study of facility surveys from 10 LMICs, researchers found that essential diagnostics were available in only 19% of basic primary care facilities. Time for a diagnostic revolution! https://t.co/lTdPSuVV3G #DiagnosticsCommission #DiagnosisForAll

[The Lancet @TheLancet]

The potential health, social, and economic benefits of improving access to diagnostics signal it is time for change.

Implementing recommendations from the #DiagnosticsCommission will save lives: https://t.co/wXaA5d0OQQ

[The Lancet @TheLancet]

Diagnostics and treatment are interdependent—but diagnostics are:
-under-recognised
-under-resourced
-under-funded

Policymakers and funders must prioritise #diagnostics to reduce the diagnostics gap and prevent premature deaths.

Every Canadian needs to see @Ginella_M speak these words of power ✊🏾. #OurLondonFamily

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

A family of 5 in London, ON were deliberately struck by a motorist just for being Muslim, 4 have died.

Don’t tell us #Islamophobia doesn’t exist in Canada. Don’t tell us racism doesn’t exist in Canada.

Don’t tell us that the hate we feel every day for just existing isn’t real.

Imagine having the privilege to ignore issues because they don't impact you.

“In research, [supremacy] governs who sets the question, who pays for the work, who decides on methods, who does the work, whose names are on the paper, who publishes it, who reads it, who decides the next study to be done – or the next research program... In a word, everything.”
