And Dr. Mary Sco describes how the food we eat is connected to our microbiome and our mood.

This is a fun one! Well… as fun as food sickness can be I guess, but the takeaway? Fibre is friend! And when in doubt - don’t you put it in your mouth.

I was told recently in a class that I was teaching that the youth don’t get the pizza rat reference anymore and this filled me with an intense sadness 🍕🐀♾️

This is only possible because of the generosity and advocacy of the community artists who shared their stories. We hear you and thank you! A big thanks also to exhibition funders @healthresearchbc.bsky.social @pacpublichealth.bsky.social + the Post-Covid Interdisciplinary Clinical Care Network

This exhibition has been such an incredible collaboration - guided by a community advisory board, including a team of patients, advocates, museum curators, academics, and health systems folks we worked to showcase the stories from 46 long haulers and over 200 photos from across Canada

Thanks cous ❤️

Of course!! I was just talking about the old kayak club. I miss those days! And even checking the rat traps :)

We make a number of recommendations including research outside of the gender binary (all studies spoke only to the experiences of men or women), representation of women in decision making positions throughout the vaccine value chain, and investments to enhance access to resources

Women also had less time to access vaccines due to other responsibilities like caregiving or chores and in some cases cultural norms reduced their autonomy to care for livestock

Women also had less access to vaccines for reasons such as lacking decision-making power, less mobility (eg relying on public transport) and caring for smaller numbers of animals where vaccines are purchased in larger package sizes (eg caring for 50 animals but package size is 100)

Our review found that both men and women livestock farmers have similar positive perceptions of vaccines but women have less information which points towards the need for improved education programs tailored to women

From islands to cities, these spaces can promote the evolution of some traits more quickly than we might see elsewhere.

Episode inspired by this study on rapid evolution of bats in the Solomon Islands 🦇🏝️
