@AnanyaReed @DBuszard @ubcovpr @BinstedUBC fabulous to see @UBC_HES ranked 3rd in the world in the latest QS rankings. topuniversities.com/university-ran…

UBC ‘sports related fields’ (that’s Kinesiology/Human Kinetics) ranked 3rd in the world. Not bad for a little Okanagan startup (and our Vancouver cousins). topuniversities.com/university-ran…

My paper with @paulgribble & @andpru is now officially published in @NatureNeuro! (go.nature.com/2TIYlzJ) In it we show that spinal stretch reflexes can help maintain the hand’s position in the external world. Why is this a big deal and how did we show this? I'll tell you(1/16)

Significant number of lefties giving me thumbs up for pointing out Ford govt. tuition cut wouldn't help poor because of interactions with student aid. I rarely get that reaction from them when I make similar points re: NDP tuition reduction plans, even though effects the same.
