Dangerous garbage being presented “science writing”. Two *actual* facts surrounding #COVID infection:
1. Your risk of #LongCOVID, a currently incurable chronic illness, after surviving an acute COVID infection currently sits conservatively at ~6-7%
2. Your risk of LC increases 1/

This fall, explore innovations in contemporary YA fantasy in ENGL 2828: Young Adult Literature. How do these stories help us reimagine race, gender, history, power, revolution, or what it means to be a young adult? *New time: TR 2:30-3:45 pm with Dr. Ariel Watson. #YALiterature

There is no justifying this, and it will be repeated again and again if the IDF continues to attack Rafah. Airstrikes on desperate families living in tents who have been displaced over and over. It won't make Israel safer or free the hostages. It's just more senseless carnage.

@LLynneIrwin POTS and MECFS have nothing to do with inactivity. In fact it often affects previously healthy active young people. Often triggered by infections, classically EBV, Lyme and now, at ferocious scale, COVID.

#CAUTCouncil voted unanimously to support the vote of non-confidence in the leadership of @smuhalifax President and the Chair of the Board of Governors. Delegates passed an emergency motion brought by @SMUFacultyUnion and seconded by @MSVUFA. #cdnpse

David Robinson, Executive Director of
@CAUT_ACPPU (Canadian Association of University Teachers) debunks SMU's official statement, confirming our position that SMU leadership is doing a 'uniquely dismal' job.

Today is the day! NSTU members, our negotiating team will walk into the next bargaining meeting with 10000 members solidly behind them. Our solidarity is our strength! See your rep, get your card and VOTE YES #OurKidsCantWait

[El Jones @ElJonesPoet]

the rankings in order to get more corporate donations, while mortgaging the future of students and the institution shows exactly how divorced from education these ranking metrics are. The rankings prioritize money; to get a high rank, SMU took donations that needed to be matched

[Dennis Wendt @dennis_wendt]

More sad evidence that @mcgillu admin has walled itself off from its faculty. In related news, Saint Mary's Univ faculty voted 91% "no confidence" towards its administration today...

Because I’m headed to a conference w/ thousands of oncologists, & the last thing anyone living w/ #cancer needs is #COVID19

Because I care about my colleagues & #PublicHealth

Because I know the way to prevent #longCovid is to prevent #Covid

Because science is real

The number of occassions when organizers agree to masking but insist on providing food and drinks is wild.

[Martha Walls @melizwalls]

Looking forward to a negotiated Collective Agreement that is in line with the social justice values celebrated @MSVU_Halifax. Until then, solidarity with @MSVUFA - and warm thoughts to all the students of @MSVUSU whose terms are in upheaval. You deserve better.

Every parent should watch this interview with Consultant Cardiologist Dr Rae Duncan summarising the latest research on #LongCOVID and potential long-term impacts on kids from repeat COVID infections.

@Slate I also hope that Lizzy’s lung cancer treatments go smoothly and are 100% effective. Here’s hoping for a swift and complete recovery.

[Ariel @SycoraxPine]

@Slate I was shocked to hear this episode promoting the debunked idea of “immunity debt.” Why, when the vast majority of the population hasn’t been taking any infection prevention precautions in years, would this be the explanation? A very shoddy episode.
