My PhD work at @ubcmsl being discussed by C&EN - 🔬💉🙏 thanks to @kevbuckley for steering the ship with me for a few years, and congrats to @marthouli_v for pushing the envelope (..and thanks @Cationically for pointing it out 😊)
DYK there’s currently no way to test for this damage in blood that’s been stored inside a bag without opening the bag? Researchers are working to develop Raman #spectroscopy as a method that can monitor blood inside storage bags without ever opening them: ow.ly/aNvW50q0sMh
How do people break free of this alternative reality when the price of admission to the cult is unwavering loyalty?
When elected Republican politicians and media figures are sychopants irreversibly anchored to the Trump Titanic?
Modern political discourse in 2024 is having to pull out a dictionary to explain that a presidential candidate meant definition 2b and not 1a or 2a.
And this constant 'ambiguity' isn't seen as disqualifying?
For anyone paying attention, it's clearly a feature, not a bug.
We did it! Welcome to 2021! #Goodbye2020
Here are my hopes for the year:
😷May COVID vaccines equitably roll out to everyone
🧬May science and scientific knowledge be trusted
💰May governments continue to help those most in need
📰May disinformation be monitored and flagged
And my hopes for you:
💰May your time and skills be appropriately valued
💾May your data and privacy be appropriately respected
🌲May you spend more time outdoors
🧠May you start (or finish) that project occupying your mind
🎙️May you always be unmuted when called upon in Zoom
And while we're at it, why not shoot for the stars:
🚿May everyone have access to food, clean water, and healthcare
👩⚖️May democracy defeat tyranny
💕May love overcome hate
🌎May #BlackLivesMatter
Not too much to ask, right? 🤝
One perk of the #CSPC2020 conference going virtual this year is that I'm able to tune in from overseas 🙏
Though I'm curious if anyone on the ground in 🇨🇦 is finding lag during the sessions?
It's not the landslide victory the world wanted, but there's hope for Biden.
If it happens, it's time to get back to trusting EXPERTS, following SCIENCE, believing in CLIMATE CHANGE, expanding HEALTHCARE, and addressing SOCIAL RIGHTS.
🇺🇸 I believe in you
#ThePostElection
It's a failure of democracy when the legal mail-in ballot of a common citizen won't arrive in time to be counted, due to either changing state legislation or delays in priority mail.
Hoping the voter turn-out in 🇺🇸 still smashes all the records.
#Voting #VotingMatters
VERY IMPORTANT. PLEASE SHARE WIDELY. There is no longer really voting by mail in many states. If you haven’t sent in your ballot, it is likely too late for it to count. Find other options ASAP. Drop it off. Vote in person. This is a great resource. iwillvote.com
Just a thought - can democracies enact a universal law where any government official not aware that voting twice is illegal be immediately removed from their position?
Great to see the #BlackLivesMatter movement make it's way into the hockey community - but this is only the start, the real work is to come.
Props to @matt_dumba for his leadership. Hope your first step leads to stronger support from more NHL stars.

Right on cue for 2020 @angew_chem🤦
Imagine giving a platform to someone who believes that diversity is a weakness, that the act of supporting women diminishes the contributions of men.
No credible publication should give that garbage a hot second.
Burn it down, #ChemTwitter

And kudos to @cathleencrudden, @jenheemstra, and everyone else out there in #ChemTwitter taking a stance and committing to putting in the work.
This isn't an isolated incident.
There are others out there supporting these views.
Time to snuff out the Old Boys club.
