Should you be able to experiment on your own cancer?
This expert virologist did. It was the 3rd time her cancer appeared. It didn't bode well. So she injected viruses in her tumor and it shrunk.
But most journals didn't want to publish her results. Why? Because they're dumb 🧵
A scientist who successfully treated her own breast cancer by injecting the tumour with lab-grown viruses has sparked discussion about the ethics of self-experimentation go.nature.com/3NXqzEq

Today is World Sparrow Day!
Sparrows are subtle, but also very beautiful once you pause and take a moment to look at one closely. But there is nothing subtle about the beautiful song of the Song Sparrow! A welcome sign of spring right across southern Canada.

Do you need to create mirror plots 📶 for your publications? We have written a tutorial 📕about it to support your compound ID 🧪.
Tips include using @mzmine_project to extract MS/MS scans and the @GNPS_UCSD color pallet.

Canada’s federal graduate scholarships and postdoctoral fellowships are not competitive! 😞
For ex, the NSF postdoctoral fellowship is valued at $106,000 CAD 🇺🇸, compared to the $45,000 🇨🇦 offered by the Tri-Agency fellowships 😱🤕

Americans: I use miles and pounds
Europeans: I use kilometres and kilograms
Canadians: [snorting a line of assorted measuring systems] I'm 5'3, I weigh 150lbs, horses weigh 1000kgs, my house is an hour away and I drive 80 km/h to get there, I need a cup of flour and 1L of milk

as we look at the terrifying scenes out of nyc, know that ontario premier doug ford cut 70%—or $142.2 milllion—from the emergency firefighting fund in 2019 even as Indigenous communities, experts, and residents warned of escalating severe weather due to climate change

nature.com/articles/d41586-0… I’m incredibly thankful to be supported by a PDF this year but the low pay means my 🇺🇸PI still has to pay *more than half* of my salary so I can… ya know… eat and pay rent in the Bay Area. Time to step it up 🇨🇦!! @SupportOurSci – at Berkeley, CA
