I want people on Bluesky to be reminded that the scientific community is all around you, so feel free to say hello if you want to have a casual chat about healthcare and pharmacy in Ontario, or at the Canada's Federal level 😊

You love to see a good breathe 👏
Went for a light run today for the first time in ages. Definitely confirmed I have asthma, I was wheezing by the time I got home. Luckily, I had an inhaler a friend had given me after suspecting I was asthmatic a few weeks ago. Worked like a charm after two puffs

Still feeling haunted by Orlock rn 😩
Just watched Nosferatu and I’m absolutely livid that Ellen never got to live a life free of the monster. She lived every day of her life impacted by her trauma and had to die for it to go away. Great movie, I hated it

We should tackle this together - Canadian Pharmacists for Pharmacare and Canadian Doctors for Medicare!
Despite the #Pharmacare Act passing in Oct, not one Atlantic Premier has signed on to the deal with the fed gov't. CDM board member Catherine Cervin urges these Premiers to do the right thing for their constituents.
