@CamdenHutchison I used to run in gel Kayanos, but switched to Saucony Endorphin Speeds for a lighter weight race shoe and they are great!

Yesterday: ran #BMOvancouvermarathon and vowed never to do it again. Today: researching the next marathon I can viably train for. Is this how it starts?

Can someone please explain why it has hailed more times in Vancouver in the past month than it has in the past 27 years of my existence? There's a reason I don't live in Calgary.

After 3 exams in the 5 days, I'm finishing off law school writing about what brought me here in the first place - #waterlaw. Very thankful to @AllardLaw for giving me the opportunity to pursue this through an independent research project!

Please share. We're hiring! Details at queensu.ca/ensc/careers/j…

My roommate and I recently discovered this innovative #CitizenScience initiative to count seals at Sable Island -- needless to say very few law school readings have been accomplished since. Thanks @ParksCanada for the distraction! @christineyan22 zooniverse.org/projects/dan-k…

Hello Twitter! I'm writing up the @EnvLawUBC monthly newsletter and looking for some fresh enviro law news to include. What stories are you following these days?

@shannonnsalter @AllardLaw All of the above! Prof Affolder knocked it out of the park in my ethics course @AllardLaw this past semester. Small group discussions in breakout rooms, great guest speakers, & a less is more approach to assigned readings were all welcomed by zoom-fatigued students.

QUESTION: Gearing up to teach legal ethics remotely at @AllardLaw in January. For #AcademicTwitter in the trenches, what worked & didn’t, in terms of engagement, delivery, evaluation and caring for student mental health? If you aren’t too exhausted, tips appreciated. Thanks!🙏

Another good news story on the climate change front this week - happy to see my hometown taking steps to reach more ambitious GHG reductions targets!
