The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”. The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America. We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

🔥 BREAKING OVERNIGHT: President Trump drops this absolute banger where — by stroke of pen — he personally CROSSES OUT “Lake Ontario” in the Oval Office to name it Lake America 🤣🤣 “We're going to make a little change. We're going to call it something different than Lake Ontario. We're going to call it Lake America, and all it takes is a good pen and some intelligence.” “So Lake Ontario, that's gone. Lake America. So now we have a lake, and now we have a Gulf, because we have the Gulf of America.” “Now we have Lake America, without the of. Thank you very much, everybody. Enjoy Lake America!” He’s pure gold! 😂

It's the best feeling seeing your work presented to others in the field and was a privilege to get to collect neuroimaging and behavioral data from people with chronic pain receiving SCS treatment @kren27 @DrAnujBhatia. My final PhD paper published last week is linked below!

Alpha power distinguishes conditioned pain modulation subgroups. @kren27 et al. find that associations between peak alpha frequency and inhibitory conditioned pain modulation strengths are sex- and paradigm-dependent in the sgACC. Learn more in #PAIN bit.ly/3Zk0F3q

BREAKING: Stunning new polling reveals that Canada is more popular in the United States than Donald Trump is. Trump would hate it if you made this go viral.

"I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war." Watch Martin Luther King Jr.'s Nobel Peace Prize speech, where he accepted the award on behalf of the American civil rights movement: bit.ly/3bJCQuc #MLKDay
