Just received the nicest email from a reader of “Wicked Problems”, who described it as dog eared and highlighted. If you read someone’s work & like it, please do drop a line. Academics don’t typically make $$ off books and rarely know if anyone even reads it.

When you erase history you repeat it.

@DrLauraHuey Self-care?

Change requires urgency & intentional behaviour. Reconciliation requires hearing meaningfully not simply listening, transparency, healing spaces, and ongoing actionable change as one type of accountability to those harmed by genocide & violence.

@DrLauraHuey YCJA replaced the YOA

Today, our team saw an elder who was dying from #COVID19 after only one dose of the vaccine. I can't help but think she would still be alive today if she had received her 2nd dose. Why aren't we prioritizing 2nd doses for older adults and those most vulnerable?

2. Get as much exposure to frontline policing as you can during your degree. While my degrees taught me a lot, I learned as much from going on police ride-alongs, including what I think needs to change in policing.

2. With respect to research intended to have a positive impact on policing, I believe active collaboration, open communication, and mutual respect always make positive change more likely. Student placements and research partnerships help with those things.

There has been a lot of discussion about the recent decision by Crim @Carleton_U to stop student placements with CJ agencies. I’ve been reflecting a lot on this because @CU_Psychology also runs placements. My advice to students, esp those who want to work towards + change…

I was looking over the vet paperwork and Mowgli gained 1.5 pounds. I had the typical female humanoid reaction to weight gain - what?!? I got this look in return. I’m not replacing the battery in my scale ... 🤫

She has dreamed of one day attending @Harvard. But, tonight, she says, “Mom, I know you’re from #NovaScotia, and I know you work for the police. So I’d like to donate my @Harvard savings to the officer’s family.” Tears. ❤️ is full. #NovaScotiaStrong

I know I’m not the only person by themselves who are struggling right now. We all matter. Over 400+ on apartment doors so far. 💙 You are not alone. Be safe, kind, and stay strong. 💙#OwnHope

@uwaterlooARTS @uwdailybulletin I don’t think so but Mowgli is a proud member of UW 🧡

Someone has adjusted just fine to being a service dog working from home! Now as for physical distancing ... he misses his canine buddies.

More grateful than ever for the work that university support staff do behind the scenes to keep things running. Right now, they are keeping entire universities operating from their kitchen tables in incredibly challenging conditions. There is no university without support staff!

NEW: Health Minister Christine Elliott doesn't rule out predictions in UofT study that says Ontario's ICU beds/ventilators will be overwhelmed in 5-6 weeks.

A stark warning on #COVID19 Ottawa medical officer of health Dr. @VeraEtches: "testing isn’t able to track down each case in our community because the mild illness the majority of people experience is not distinguishable from common colds and we cannot test large numbers."

With the known and rapidly growing global risks of COVID-19, we want to be explicit: going to Ezra Avenue in Waterloo or participating in other unsanctioned public gatherings to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day is irresponsible. More here: bit.ly/2IW4hBj
