New podcast episodes just released! All done by students in my Pharmacology of Medicinal plants and Fungi!

The students researched, recorded and edited their episode for a class project.

Health effects linger 20 generations after rats are exposed to fungicide Scientists say the findings are a warning about the kinds of chemical that people are exposed to in the environment.

Surprise, surprise, surprise. This study uses rats exposed to fungicide, but your ‘exposome’ will likely dictate not only your health but the health of your family, through epigenetics changes in germ cells that can remain imprinted for generations.

So used to picketing in the morning that I guess I’ll have to go on a walk with the dogs now. Gotta keep getting those steps in!

Fantastic news! When students mobilize, great things happen! #KeepDalStrong

Picketing with and for her so she has a chance to have profs with job stability. When you have a stable job, you can focus on your students and courses, instead of worrying if you will be employed next year. #KeepDalStrong

Uniforum (Nous Group) has been at Dal since 2022 and they've likely been advising senior administration on creating the crisis narrative since then. Read these articles: circles.eduvation.ca/posts/inviti... and nationalpost.com/feature/how-...

Why has the Dalhousie Board @dalhousieu.bsky.social been using such strange and disrespectful tactics in this labour dispute @dalfaculty.bsky.social ? Is the playbook coming from Nous Group, the consulting company that brought us "Uniforum" and presides over cost-cutting at universities worldwide?

Me, every day that passes, waiting for the board to go back to the negotiating table so I can work again. Ain’t getting any younger! #KeepDalStrong

Expectations of board members Learn about the expectations, code of conduct, and roles and responsibilities for the Board of Governors at Dalhousie University.

Be cognizant of the university’s culture, environment, and its risks.

Be good listeners and several other expectations.

They certainly aren’t listening. (Or talking)

www.dal.ca/about/leader...

#KeepDalStrong

It’s funny because the board’s webpage listing their expectations isn’t followed:

Members of the Dalhousie University Board of Governors are expected to:

Be accountable for their actions and those of the university.

Be aware of the operations of the university.

Join us this Friday in front of the @dalhousieu.bsky.social Killam Library for our rally! Students are arriving this week, let's stand together and show them that we care about saving their Fall term from this reckless Board behaviour! #Keepdalstrong @ansut.bsky.social @caut.bsky.social

My daughter heard good things about your course!

Nearing 1 week of being locked out by the powers that be at Dalhousie. Confused and frustrated to have heard absolutely nothing from the administration, while hearing stories of the negative effects this is having on my colleagues and students, but determination levels are high on the picket lines!

Silver lining of the Dalhousie lockout: I rented a resonator guitar at LongMcQuade at the beginning of the lockout and I’m at day 5 of learning how to play, sitting on my porch with my dogs. I wasn’t sure I was going to enjoy learning an instrument, but love it! Can’t wait to be able to slide!

This article resonates. I feel terrible for my students whose education is disrupted yet again, this time through the (in)actions of @dalhousie.bsky.social senior admin who have not returned to bargaining with @dalfaculty.bsky.social. We want to support our students - let us! #KeepDalStrong
