Being a psychologist was hard today. Never did I expect to spend the day supporting clients who have been sexually assaulted as they process a rapist being elected president of the United States. Twice.

Thrilled for New Brunswickers who decidedly told Higgs they won’t stand for his hateful & anti-science policies. Despite my 💜 for NB, one reason I didn’t return post-residency was his horrendous policies & lack of respect for psychologists. Excited to see what changes Holt will bring!

Thrilled to share that I’ve joined a new practice!
Although I work with all ages, I’m particularly excited to provide a much needed service in Alberta: evidence-based assessment & intervention for children, youth, young adults, & families experiencing OCD and trauma-related disorders.

4 years ago today, the WHO declared COVID a pandemic.
Today, we will rightfully remember the tens of millions of people who have died.
We must never forget.
But we must also remember COVID is still killing, disabling, and excluding too many.
We are still in a pandemic. We still need to act.

Excellent article. My advocacy includes masking, I hope yours does (or soon will) too:
“A left that actively contributes to the spread of the illness and mocks those attempting to mitigate it, is dangerous.”

Why wear a mask to a protest?
Or: why spread illness when you could not do that?

“We need to hope less and do more. We now exist in a climate regime that humanity has never experienced before.” Responding with “anything less than a well-organized, aggressive and nationally coherent response could ultimately be fatal to thousands.”
Alberta’s Brutal Water Reckoning | The Tyee
Scientists who studied the region’s arid past warned this drought was coming. Thirst for growth won out. A Tyee special report.

I think this is becoming a sourdough account.

Important context for non-scientists:
It is actually *really difficult to get a scientific paper retracted.*
e.g., new evidence indicating scientific misconduct, profound misportrayal of methods/results, or deeply flawed methodology.
Don't treat this lightly.

It is so sad and concerning that Alberta has introduced harmful and ideological policies that are not supported by the evidence. This will hurt our most vulnerable and goes against the UN convention on the rights of the child, which Canada ratified in 1991. I will always Support Trans Kids.
Alberta to require parental consent for name, pronoun changes at school
Danielle Smith says students 16 and 17 will not need consent, but their parents must be notified

Switching from a 3 hour round-trip commute to 100% remote work was the best decision I have ever made. Good for the planet and good for my own well-being. Plus, I get to wear sweatpants every day.
A new study suggests that fully remote workers may produce less than half the climate-warming emissions of people who spend their days in offices.
