CLEAR & CBIM Program Documentary YouTube video by Interval House of Hamilton

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.👇🏼

Apparently today is "Bring Your Kid to Work" day for the Twins.

For those who don't know, that base is 18 inches wide.

I'm the pitch auditor. My new gig. First act is to fire whoever thinks a knuckle curve reaches 99 MPH.

@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.

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.

Population-wide analysis of differences in disease progression patterns in men and women - Nature Communications Sex-stratified medicine is an important and understudied field. Here the authors investigate in a systematic study of the Danish population differences in incidence, risk, and several aspects of diagn...

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.

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

Premature Menopause and Lifetime Risk of Coronary Heart Disease This cohort study calculates lifetime risk estimates of incident coronary heart disease and estimates years lived free of and with coronary heart disease by premature menopause status stratified by se...

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.

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!

NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya will take over leadership of CDC temporarily Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, who directs the National Institute of Health, is taking over as acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

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.

I'm not sure we can expect a rationale from the irrational.

That post is so awful I didn't even notice the tattoo.

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.

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.

Dot se.

Talking in code like this makes me feel like a spy.

A really bad spy, but a spy nonetheless. So exciting.

I haven't noticed that it moved lately. Did you lose your link?

Sorry I missed this. I found it on sci hub before noticing that you had a copy. Always a good place to check.

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.

I'll try to be positive & say that the outcome shows that Canadians want a government that supports & prioritizes women's health, & that speaking up makes a difference.

The Early Edition with Stephen Quinn | Live Radio | CBC Listen The Early Edition is Vancouver's connection to the latest breaking local news, interviews that cut through the spin, and community stories and personalities that surprise and delight.

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 👇🏼
