Appears that there will soon be an extra reason to encourage my aunties to get a shingles vaccine.
Biggest thing to ever come out of my little group. Pls help spread this finding!. We found clean, CAUSAL evidence that the shingles vaccine prevents a good chunk of dementia cases. So, could a virus cause Alzheimer’s->YES!. Hear me out & see preprint: 🧵1/

I'm not on Twitter as much these days. One reason: iNaturalist exists. It's social media that helps science & which leaves me feeling good nearly every time I visit. Not just me, either. An NYTimes writer recently asked if it's "The nicest place online?".

Thank you for earning iNaturalist the reputation as the nicest place online! We're thrilled iNaturalist was featured on the front page of the Sunday New York Times in a very interesting piece written...

As someone who needed government student loans to earn a BSc (a stepping stone to a later PhD), this is good. Canada earns a better return on investment through a better economy & well paid workers when people gain education & skills; it will ultimately pay for itself.
We’re permanently eliminating interest on the federal portion of Canada Student Loans and Canada Apprentice Loans.

Perhaps it's time to reintroduce "disallowance": .
I spoke with Premier @FordNation today. I emphasized the importance of standing up for Canadians’ rights and freedoms, including workers’ rights – and I reiterated that the preemptive use of the notwithstanding clause is wrong and inappropriate.

Better value too! Probably gained a few more years of Ryan Reynolds thanks to the physician removing a polyp:
Ryan Reynolds lost a bet and had to film his own colonoscopy. And it was still better than Green Lantern!.

Good. The reprise of responsible public health policy is music to my ears.
In a precedent-setting decision, Ontario court says vaccine mandate is legal and enforceable in schools. Two unvaccinated @SenecaCollege students had challenged the rule, by @jessicamundiee via @nationalpost @Limbictweets #COVID19 #vaccination #HigherEd.

Not sure if Twitter is the right venue for birds (perhaps Flickr?), but I just had a Northern Flicker visit the post outside my window and it brightened my day just a little. 🐦.#birdwatching #Canada

It felt good to earn my cookie this week. apart from needle-related heebie-jeebies. It's been a while. Appreciate that @CanadasLifeline makes the process smooth.

God rest her soul.
The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.

From my experience, the discoverability of archived pages is low. Moreover, some material isn't accessible:. > Currently, no public access is available for LAC’s non-federal web holdings, which comprise 50% of the total collections (30 TB).

It is dangerous for LAC to say that "Web pages are not historical documents". They are. @LibraryArchives captures and archives them because they *are* historical documents. But they are also *living documents* which get updated and improved upon.
Many Canadians object to seeing such outdated and imbalanced attitudes on a website of national scope. Web pages are not historical documents and should be updated when times change. This is why we took the step of removing some web pages.
