I'm concerned about the health research community rushing to *require* patient/public involvement (PPI) for all methodological research.

I am on my way home to Toronto and the aurorae are absolutely phenomenal.
If you are anywhere in the northern half of the continent, get outside and look up! Or better still, put your camera on a 10 second exposure and point it up.

Especially the part about attachments (I will not open it!) I also wouldn't provide links to Google Scholar or ORCid, rather, just provide details required for people to search on their own.

Isn't this missing the point? One should be able to feel satisfied that locking your bike and garage means that people will not break in or cut your lock and drive away. It's like telling women they asked to be assaulted because they dressed a certain way.

@calgary.ca has a crime problem. Especially as it relates to bikes. Our locked garage has been broken into twice. Two of our bikes have been stolen twice. Yesterday, while my husband was at an appointment-- in broad daylight-- someone cut the lock and rode off with his bike.
