Thank you for the shout-out @scienceinvancouver.com! So excited to share our new work on reproducible models of the neural tube and early brain development + modeling aberrant cortical development and folding in Tuberous Sclerosis.

@AirCanada you cancelled my Sunday morning flight and just 1 hour later told me there are no options to rebook me within 3 days on any airline. That my only option is reimbursement. It’s a lie. I see many flights available. They’re just $$. You’re obliged to rebook me - do it!

Thanks! A lot of work already, and throughout the whole project no doubt. But it would be so satisfying and to implement projects with such a high degree of vision.

My thoughts exactly Esther when I saw this stat. 14% again. Couldn’t believe it. And then to hear other panels fared even worse. I thought the gov had promised more tricouncil funding and that we should be seeing it by now? This current reality is just devastating.

Honestly, this would literally drive Cdns (namely me) crazy for the next four years. I really need calm and a sense of peace that Captain Canada (namely Mark Carney) would provide. A daily diet of anger and anxiety under a Poilievre gov is unimaginable. #Cdnpoli #NeverPoilievre #ElbowsUp

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

No intellectually honest person can say MeToo has gone too far. Even Bill Cosby is out of prison, and Weinstein‘s NY conviction was overturned. Cuomo is running for political office ffs! MeToo scared abusers so much they nipped it in the bud before there could be real change.

🧪Scientists don’t want to attend meetings in the US anymore. After the poor treatment of a French researcher Texas in March, I do not blame this reaction. This is a valid sentiment. This is how we appear to the world. Likely more to follow suit.
