As the mother of an autistic boy, I am angered by the stupidity coming out of the US right now. As a scientist, I’m appalled by the statements being made without any scientific evidence.

I’m turning 50 next week. I’ve decided in my 50th year that I am going to donate, volunteer and spread joy.

Care to join me?

My first three donations will be to: the Institute of Urban Ecology’s environmental science, workshops, the Canucks autism network and Fire and Flower girls.

This was a good week: My research grant application was successful. I made a connection with the language department so we can deliver FREE ecology and environmental science programming to K-12 students in French here is BC. 1/2

The Federal election has been announced.

Do your homework.

Ask tough questions of your candidates.

Watch for mis/disinformation and foreign interference.

Vote wisely.

Vote for Canada.

Our future and sovereignty depend on it. 🇨🇦

Need to stress what is happening right now with the NIH. Govt IS NOT “saving” tax payer $$, they are DESTROYING the fundamental infrastructure that takes years to develop. This is absolutely reckless. I called my colleague to discuss a grant proposal on breast cancer. It is going to be shelved.🧪

Thankful for Justin Trudeau’s leadership the last few weeks. Hope he sticks around and continues to fight for Canada.

BREAKING - a bill mandating genital inspections to participate at all age levels of girls' and women's sports fails in the U.S. Senate. It needed 60 votes to move forward.

Elbows up!
Elbows f'ing up. Canada understands the assignment. 🍁
When Mike Myers wore his "Canada Is Not For Sale" t-shirt on SNL, he mouthed a secret code: "elbows up."
It's a reference to the great Gordie "Mr. Elbows" Howe who punished those that messed with his team.
You heard him Canada: elbows up.
If anyone asks why, tell them that Mike Myers sent you.

I’m not the first to say it, but I think I’d like to go back precedented times. Where the biggest topic of first conversation was the weather and the hockey game.

From the late, great Jack Layton:

“My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world. “
