3/3 Congratulations to this year’s Early Career Impact Award winner - Dr. Chris Phenix from the College of Arts and Science at @usask for his studies related to gene study in Parkinson's disease! Check out his research story at shrf.ca/stories @CP_Phenix @usask_OVDR

@MitoCopper Growing up in small town Sask with two channels, we all had to suffer through watching a brutal Leafs team each HNIC. Those were the days of great Oilers and later Jets (my team) and Flames. So everyone started cheering against the Leafs....
English
The @CanadiensMTL are the gift that keeps on giving..:watching my Leafs loving son’s face as he chirped me in OT fall as the winner hit the back of the net? Priceless as those old MasterCard commercials used to say.

@daniellou_r Hey Richard yes I did! It's my lucky rod and I caught 1000 fish with it!
English
Feeling so lucky to be Canadian! My grandpa bought this cabin after WWII. Lucky to have it. The cabins were built along the CN rail. Took my family out fishing this morning and caught this beauty. Let it go to make more baby fish!
English
@MitoCopper @KirstyDuncanMP I should at this is a great start!
English
Thank you @KirstyDuncanMP for your steadfast advocacy. We research scientists are incredibly grateful for your efforts (and results)!

Today, Parliament voted in favour of my Motion M-38! Starting in the 44th Parliament, there will be a Standing Committee on Science and Research. Thanks to everyone who supported M-38, and here’s to a future driven by knowledge, forged by curiosity and a quest for understanding.
English
@MitoCopper @KirstyDuncanMP My mother called her MP to request that Canada does a better job funding science. I believe we rank 2nd last in all OCED countries and need to do better! And not more funding to train more and more students when their is a need for stable employment in academic labs.

@DavePalmerUSask Thanks Dave appreciate it! Everyone loves bioorganic chemistry!
English
@MitoCopper @USaskChem Thanks Scot! We have a great team of scientist, world-class infrastructure at the Cyclotron and strong support from @_SHRF_. Looking forward to seeing what we can do with out agents!

Dr. Chris Phenix @CP_Phenix has received funding from the Michael J. Fox Foundation for research on Parkinson's Disease. #usask #chemistry #nuclearmedicine

A #USask nuclear medicine researcher has received funding by @MichaelJFoxOrg to develop diagnostic radiotracers for early detection of Parkinson’s Disease, a chronic degenerative brain disorder that affects more than 100,000 Canadians. bit.ly/3d5EEwD

@MitoCopper @Raptors @Klow7 The part of modern pro sports I really dislike. I understand the logic, but players commited to the team and city/country, who show leadership, consistent great play and are well liked by teamates and fans should be kept if possible. Unless the trade is way too good to pass up.
English
As a diehard @raptors fan I am still having a hard time accepting @Klow7 may be moved by tomorrow’s trade deadline. If that happens it will be akin to ripping out one’s heart and soul, even if it proves wise wrt the future. #buildthemanastatue

Perhaps a bit juvenile but me threatening to post this sign in various rooms of the house has caused quite a stir amongst kids 1-3. 🤣
English
@DavePalmerUSask @tfkahan @PamDowne Haha yup. At my first CSC conference 2002 in Vancouver. Professors Majewski and Ward watched me dethrone the UBC graduate student beer 🍺 champion. Everyone has a talent....
English
Dreamed that several of my colleagues competed in a large "juggle drinking" tournament (in which competitors raced to finish drinking a glass of beer while juggling). This was way more fun than my usual "Oh no, I'm not wearing a mask" COVID dreams.
English
@MitoCopper Agreed! After a lengthy celebration, my buddy and I are doubling home on my bicycle. Campus security followed us weaving around until we finally crashed. Me in my suit and Dale on top of me, security rolls up and asks if we are ok: buddy say yes he just got his PHd! They laugh.
English
This 👇...other than my wedding weekend and the births of our children, my PhD defence day and subsequent celebration are something I will never forget. I too feel terribly for recently minted PhDs wrt the inability to properly celebrate their achievement.
Andy Fraser@andy_utoronto
Just chaired a thesis exam - student did a great job over zoom and passed well. But I feel so sorry for the student at the end - what a weird deflating feeling to close your zoom window and have no happy celebration with supervisor and labmates!

Getting prepared for #SuperBowl2021! Dual purpose given that it is forecast to be be -40 and -50C with the windchill. #win

@tfkahan Thanks Tara! No doubt discouraging especially considering I was often filming extra tutorials and practice material, even for other instructors sections, instead of taking care of the boys haha. That said, I feel super bad for the students remote learning cannot be easy.
English
@CP_Phenix How dare you be a parent AND a professor! So discouraging. At least you have a teaching award to contradict them. And beer.
English
How did recording my first lecture video of the semester go? Well, my daughter climbed on my lap. Then the dog came to bark at my daughter's sandwich. Then my (topless) husband ran in and stared at the scene from the doorway (in awe? Horror?).
So, Take 2 starts now.
English
@MitoCopper @ghorsmano @JorgensonDerek Sounds good. Once these vaccines come out and Covid levels start to drop it's a date!
English
@CP_Phenix @ghorsmano @JorgensonDerek Thx @CP_Phenix! If you and I could even catch a break for a beer that would be better!
English
What to do with leftover pickerel (one of the best discoveries of moving to #sk)? Fish cakes.. let’s see if they turn out 🤞
English
So my wife has many talents! Cake making is one of them. My son Jake turned 9 on the 2nd and Zac turned 12 today. Happy birthday boys. She did a great job (I did the bacon and volcano :)).
English
@MitoCopper Ha! Honestly I would last one day on that schedule unlike the old days. Seriously interesting times.
English
My wife is so organized she had the boys new "home school" and her work schedule up on the wall. I added mine later after serious deliberation.
