Amazing that so many seemingly great business ideas fail, but every small town in Ontario has a store that sells sun catchers and bird seed.
These kids can't finish their math homework, but have no problem putting together an order that yields exactly $0.00 change
Scholastic book fair season is the perfect time to remind your kids how awesome the public library system is.
Happy Friday! Treat yourself to this made-in-Canada tune that, despite being released nearly two decades ago, really captures the current state of the world. youtube.com/watch?v=wwW6XBHY…

Hoping to turn a grad course into a #scicomm course! If anyone has any examples of successful models, please share! We need to have science communicated and ambassadors for science more than ever before! RT's appreciated!
A very special thank you to @NeuroBeats for the exceptional cosupervision, and to @andpru and @_jdesouza_ for the helpful insights throughout these projects!
A heartfelt congratulations to Zhaleh Alipour on a wonderful defense of her doctoral work this afternoon! Many thanks to @ingridjohnsrude, @marieke_mur, Brian Allman, and @john_iversen for a lively discussion!

I am writing a self-help book for #partners of individuals with #depression. If you know anyone who has a partner with depression and would be willing to meet by Zoom for a 30-45 min interview, please spread the word.
I would like to know why some units were informed of the impending closure by 8am (or earlier) while many of us learned of the closure an hour later (after commuting to campus for these early classes). Totally unacceptable flow of information.
So CIHR will be headed up by a decorated physician and award winning medical researcher, while the NIH is in the hands of a man who fed part of his brain to a parasitic worm.
