In his memory, Western has opened an equity-based graduate scholarship. Please consider supporting his final initiative if you are able: www.westernconnect.ca/beier ; thank you for all the time you spent and laughs you shared with him. We love and miss him so much already. - The Beiers
Hi all. Frank passed peacefully with the love of his family on July 18, 2025 in London, ON. He was a wonderful human being who shared much of his life with you. We could not have asked for a better father, grandfather, friend, colleague, or mentor. 1/
Very proud of this one. If you want a complete primer on the history of functional neuroimaging in disorders of consciousness, then this is for you. With @karnig-kazazian.bsky.social and Martin Monti. owenlab.org/uploads/pdfF...

Now that I am shedding most of my committee memberships, it is super tempting to delete the MS Teams app that I greatly dislike from all my devices. Give me one reason to keep it?
Will try to spend these last months on quality time with family & friends, getting my affairs in order, and working on a few graduate student thesis and manuscripts. It will not be boring.
Another update although not much has changed. Still expected to have 'a few months'. Oncologist feels like there is nothing he can do any more but we will try to keep me as comfortable & productive as possible with palliative care, oxygen, wheelchair etc.
To attract top global talent, #WesternU is doubling the number of Postdoctoral Fellowship Program awards and launching the new US-CAN Doctoral Excellence Awards. #CdnPSE #HigherEd

I can hear that one very clearly from my balcony....
#Sunfest was always one of my favourite things in #Ldnont. This is very likely the last time I can be there. All the more thankful I am to the kids for taking me there in my new fancy wheels! PS5 from Naples playing here
Lots of visitors these days! Former PhD students and postdocs coming by from in and out of town. A sad occasion but great to see them all! Oh those memories.... sorry for the poor selfie skills....
Lots of room for growth at @uwaterloo.ca. 🇨🇦 And were hiring 6 new faculty in #optometry and #visionscience. Spread the news. Contact me if you want to learn more.

Nothing like a CT scan at 2:45 am to confirm you are dying..... to be fair they want to see if there is any chance for radiation to make a difference, but chances are slim. Anyway, thanks for taking me Aaron!
The Roglic ski jump/cycling combination appears even more astonishing to me
Congrats!!
This is a fantastic department, with great staff, faculty, and trainees. Thank you all for making this as enjoyable as it can be and for your cooperative spirit. Thanks also to my fellow basic science chairs for all the collaboration!
Today is my last day as Chair of Physiology and Pharmacology at @schulichmeddent.bsky.social @westernu.ca, after 7 years (1 yr acting, 5 in term 1, 1 in term 2). I would have loved to complete term 2 but my advancing cancer leaves me no choice. 1/
The Oslo Pride 2025 video shows how quiet visibility -🌈 pins, bracelets, flags- can mean safety, belonging, and respect. Amid rising hate [and lost protections elsewhere] the message is clear: you are seen, you matter, this is a safe place. Civic decency, not just law.
I will be opening my new lab in September at UBC! if you’re coming to #Worm25 and are looking for graduate studies or a postdoc position, let’s meet! Vancouver + worms = perfect vibes. www.zoology.ubc.ca/~yeecs/labsi... Please share! 🙌
