The 1am checking of the campus webcams to try to predict tomorrow's snow closure decision...feels like undergrad days!

I appreciate Vancouver most on a sunny winter day because it’s the starkest reminder of what we’re so blessed to have compared to the rest of the world, and quiet enough to appreciate in relative solitude

Science of sex and gender being misrepresented by Trump officials, experts warn Scientists say crackdown on gender-affirming care could have impact on healthcare of all Americans

Major thanks to @melodyschreiber.com for interviewing me about what biology actually says about sex & gender

Unscientific attacks on trans rights are fueled by fascism, not science, and harm all of us - cis or trans

Oh gosh...school shoes from The Bootery were as much a part of September as new notebooks. The fact that it was so near Hager Books AND Ruby's Ice Cream Parlour made for an extra awesome spree.

Master Scones Recipe (Any Flavor!) - Sally's Baking Using my perfected scone recipe, build your own scones with a variety of add-ins like chocolate chips, berries, or make them savory with cheese and herbs!

Sadly, I lose my appetite when stressed...but I still stress-bake! So at least people around me get the benefit of scones and cake.

I used to actually enjoy the manual pen-and-paper tax packages, but I've been using StudioTax for years. Easy to build a new return from last year's and grab your current information from the CRA database. It sorts out my scholarships, tuition, donations, RRSPs and everything with handy hints.

πŸ§ͺFebruary is #BlackHistoryMonth. We honor the black doctors & scientists who have impacted human health.
Some used stats to fight racist medical myths, documented how racism impacted health decades before the term health disparities was coined. Representation has mattered and will always matter.

Absolutely so, but for me it was the local BBSs. Still buddies in real life with some of that crowd, though the 24-hour diners where we used to meet up are gone.

Complex fiber and wood technologies of the first Great Basin peoples From Cougar Mountain Cave and Paisley Caves, Oregon, come remarkably preserved examples of perishable materials.

I love it when new archaeological research is coupled with beautiful photographs of the artifacts. Exciting work on the exceptional Younger Dryas-age organic technologies of some of North America’s first peoples.

Timeline cleanse.

I want to slice into this so badly. But one must wait. And inhale warm garlic and rosemary.

This was a hard one to make β€” mostly because we shouldn’t even have to talk about this.

We should be focusing on the victims. The families. The community.

But some selfish, awful people are using this moment for their own political agendas.

We can’t let them do that:
