Is hormone testing in menopause worth the money? Generally, no. But that doesn't stop some from profiting off misinformation about women's health. #TogetherAgainstMisinformation #WomensHealth #Menopause @scienceupfirst.bsky.social

Congrats to PhD student Masarra Al Dakka on receiving a HSFC Women’s Heart & Brain Health award! Masarra studies how environmental estrogens in plastics affect the heart, & whether menopause increases sensitivity to these chemicals. Thank you to HSFC & its generous donors for supporting our work!

I am looking forward to the chat I'll be having with Melissa Grelo at The National Menopause Show. To shape this conversation I'd love to hear from you. What questions do you have about menopause & cardiovascular disease? Reply or DM your questions. Learn more & register here: lnkd.in/gv9RN7DG

It was great to see so many people turn out in support of Interval House of Hamilton & all the great work they do in Flamborough. The awesome chili was a nice bonus. 😁 #HamOnt #EndGenderBasedViolence www.flamboroughtoday.com/local-news/c...

I’m pleased to be certified in Mental Health First Aid by the Mental Health Commission of Canada!💚 Mental health is an important part of our well-being & I am grateful to have gained practical knowledge that can help contribute to more supportive & caring environments.

Trump TV is "initially broadcasting speeches by Trump as well as footage of US military exercises accompanied by commentary praising the armed forces' capabilities." We are past the "slippery slope" to authoritarianism & are flying off the cliff. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

I feel like someone is trying to tell me something.

We are pleased to announce that our research on menopause & women’s heart health has been awarded new funding from CIHR. A special congratulations to our Post-Doctoral Research Associate Dr. Sarah Rouhana who is a co-investigator on the grant – her first CIHR funding! #WomensHeartHealth

Looks like I'm working from home for a bit...

It's interesting how the religious zealots & MAGA-idiots who claim storms are God's punishment for sins are silent on the weather disrupting Trump's America 250 debacle.🤔

Where are we after 6 years of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines? ✅87% effective against infection ✅93% effective at ⬇️ hospitalization ✅94% effective at ⬇️ mortality ✅myocarditis risk < than infection In short, the anti-vaxxers are absolutely, totally, wrong. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

This study about the consequences of Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization finds state abortion bans lead to ⬇️evidence-based care & ⬆️misoprostol-only treatment for miscarriage. In short, women are legally forced to receive suboptimal & dangerous care. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

"...our study findings show that [COVID-19] vaccination continues to provide protection against associated cardiovascular outcomes" Do we say anti-vaxxers are wrong again, or should we just say they have never been right? 🤔 jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Interval House of Hamilton (IHOH) does so much to reduce gender-based violence & support those who experience abusive relationships. It was an honour to attend the staff appreciation breakfast to celebrate the dedicated the great people of IHOH, & to thank them for all that they do.

When it's Friday & you've just given up.

Interesting how the MAHA people scream freedom of speech until someone points out their nonsense. An Open Letter to the American Diabetes Association: Shame on You - Sign the Petition! c.org/wNzxDKcwj6

Made homeopathic coffee today. Recipe: run water through a coffee maker that has the memory of coffee, into a pot with memory of coffee. For the record: it's equally effective as medicinal homeopathy.

It took a while, but I finally caught one

What can extracellular vesicles tell us about women who experience intimate partner violence? #APS2026 kicks off with a fascinating talk by Dr Tracy Bale (@thebalelab.bsky.social) on their potential as psychiatric biomarkers.

RFK Jr & the anti-vaxx brigade can't get their "research" published unless it is in a predatory journal or it gets retracted, so their only recourse is to censor real research. Funny how I don't hear their base screaming about "freedom" now. 🤷🏼 www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Heading to the @apsphysiology.bsky.social Summit? Connect with us to talk about our research in women's heart health, including the effects of menopause, intimate partner violence, & endocrine disrupting chemicals. Meeting Landing Page: l.feathr.co/APS-Summit_2... #APS2026 #WomensHealth

Men account for >80% of perpetrators of family violence & >90% of gender-related homicides of a partner or family member. Watch the video to see how Interval House of Hamilton is building programs to tackle this problem on the field before it starts.👇🏼 youtu.be/f7uZJ97nIoo

Apparently today is "Bring Your Kid to Work" day for the Twins. For those who don't know, that base is 18 inches wide.

@drjohnaquino.medsky.social are you running the pitch monitor tonight? #Homer

From hormone therapy myths to misinformation about the HPV vaccine, misinformation is an enormous threat to women's health. Great to see the OG slayer of misinformation @drjengunter.bsky.social closing out the National Women's Health Summit with some words of wisdom. #VitallyImportant

A key obstacle in women's health is the lack of education. It is rarely addressed in curricula beyond reproduction. What can be done? Support the research needed to create knowledge & integrate women's health into all health education, not just classes on reproduction. #VitallyImportant

Why is it #VitallyImportant to invest more in women's health? A study of over 1,300 diseases found women were diagnosed 2 yrs later than men. A huge part of this delay comes from the data gaps in understanding health & disease in women. #HerHealthMatters #WomensHealthResearch

This won't last. So I'm taking advantage of the opportunity to float while I can.

Menopause ⬆️women’s cardiovascular disease risk & premature menopause increases that risk even more. A new study found Black women are 3X more likely than White women to have premature menopause & coronary heart disease risk rose 40% regardless of race. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

It was a pleasure to attend today's announcement by the Honourable @rechievaldez.bsky.social highlighting federal funding for Interval House of Hamilton's Mentor Action, to address gender-based violence in the workplace. Check out the great work of this program 👉🏼 mentoraction.org

It was an honour to chair a session at the @cogsresearch.bsky.social conference on intimate partner violence & women's health, alongside my colleague Olivia Peters. Thanks to COGS for hosting a diverse & engaging meeting, & creating a forum where transdisciplinary research is encouraged & promoted.

What's better than an evening learning about the math of #epidemics? Learning about the science of #measles too! Another great Royal City Science "Science on Tap" featuring Drs David Earn & @msmacrophage.bsky.social. Check out the RSC website for upcoming events. royalcityscience.ca

You know your bench is thin when a guy who is unqualified for his job is chosen to take a second job, for which he is equally unqualified. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Just when you thought the MAHA brigade could not get worse, along comes Jay to encourage people to pack a punch like Mike Tyson. For the record, Tyson claims his best punch was thrown against his wife.

Looks like I have an appointment to add to my calendar for April 11.

Celebrating the accomplishments of our undergraduate research student Zoe Graziano as an outstanding student-athlete! 👏🏼 Because students are the best part of this job.

There are justifications for using 1 sex in animal studies, but the claim that only males are used because "females are more variable because of sex hormones" is not one. Males have sex hormones too & they fluctuate. In fact, females are less variable. doi.org/10.1016/j.co...

Happy #MLKDay2026 to all who celebrate. And to the racists who are trying to get rid of it: fuck right off.

23 days until pitchers & catchers report to spring training. #MLB2026 #baseball #WeWantItAll #BlueJays

Women’s health must be a national priority. Women experience unique health needs, yet gaps in research, diagnosis and care persist. Addressing preventable gaps isn’t just good health policy, it could unlock up to $37B a year for Canada. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Why does Canada need a national women's health strategy? I'll be discussing this tomorrow on The Early Edition with Stephen Quinn at 7:20 am PST/10:20 am EST. Tune in & listen 👇🏼 www.cbc.ca/listen/live-... #HerHealthMatters #WomensHealth #Research
