The Fifty Grand Challenge

As I approach my 50th birthday, I'm reflecting on the current challenges facing Canada and its vulnerable communities. In celebration, I'm aiming to raise $50,000 for local organizations that support those in need. Together, we can help uplift our community.

As I see more and more people being let go here at the university, and their work being shoved into other peoples' portfolios to shrivel up and waste away, I think I'd like us to consider maybe ditching software licences and subscriptions instead.

On Oct 1 the Standing Committee on Science and Research passed an egregious motion calling for the disclosure of disaggregated data for research applications to federal granting council from 2020-2025. On Oct 20 they amended the timeframe to 2000-2025.

She’s saying that, understandably, the students are doing super poorly!

Behold what we’re teaching the healthcare professionals of tomorrow:

Just received the first of two vaccinations to prevent shingles.

Given what I read in the media about vaccines, I think this means I should believe my Bill Gates microchip has been successfully installed.

Beep boop.

Seriously though - vaccines work. Get 'em.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE.

If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease!

A call for bio-inspired technologies!

🪱 A teaspoon of soil holds more life than there are humans on Earth—yet <1% of biomimetic studies focus on soil. Time to change that.
