I will never forget my luminous friend @ESaidenberg. So many of the good things in my life and work sprung from her wise counsel. She was loved by so many! On Nov 11 & 17, wherever you are in the world, if you can, please donate blood in her memory.

ICYMI: When the @OffordCentre asks how you're doing, they really really want to know. Fill out a survey to be a part of research on how families with kids are coping more than a year into the pandemic. https://t.co/mnuqboTDGJ

@361Joules Me too...and I miss the hugs. Had a patient finish a very long chemotherapy treatment and felt so bizarre not to hug the child’s mom. Also...giving difficult news with a mask on it really hard 😔

An #Immunology Bedtime Story: A few days ago I got my flu shot. The needle breached my skin barrier and deposited inactivated pieces of selected strains of Influenza into my system. This breech sounded the alarm and my immune system went into action.

Hello lovely folks! Most of us are now deep in lockdown 2.0. Since writing about the six-month wall, many people asked me about how to take a “mental shore leave”. Here’s my plan, which might help you think creatively about yours. Good luck! 😊🙏🏽❤️ THREAD

Dear @HaltonDSB @MordenHDSB, please read this important thread.

[Sam Kaufman @uhwuhna]

Dear @tdsb, @TDSBDirector ; I know the province has screwed you over. But we're all in this together, and here are some immediate, low-cost steps within your power to reduce the spread of Covid-19 in schools. Given high community spread in Toronto, speed is of the essence. /1
