I’m not sure this can be emphasized enough. Empiric studies (not anecdotes) support the notion that most cyclists abide by the rules of the road. Ping: @PatrickBrownLLB

Screens will not prevent a fall. Install window guards or fasten windows so they can’t open wider than 10 cm. Children can fit through spaces as small as 12 cm wide. Just make sure there’s a safety release in case of fire. #windowsafety @BC_EHS https://t.co/OZg8xGJ54X

Women are vastly underrepresented in leadership positions in #meded and hospitals, despite having leadership aspirations similar to those of their male counterparts. But in 2017, more than half of medical school entrants were women. https://t.co/xR9DLPH1v6
