@LouiseKinross @NeilVickers2 So true....

Yes! 'Most of the problems that #disabled activists have described as problems of #disability apply to sickness too. People w chronic illnesses often find they are put under great pressure to deny the effects of their condition.' @NeilVickers2

Not only is Putin destroying Ukrainian homes, schools, hospitals and energy infrastructure. He's also stealing Ukraine's children. The forced deportation of nearly 20,000 Ukrainian children to Russia shows his barbarism knows no bounds. This is a war crime.

Under the direction of President Vladimir Putin, groups of children were taken from Ukraine and brought to Russia for placement. These children have been taken to at least 21 regions throughout Russia. The majority, if not all, are believed to have been made Russian citizens.

Great to see international collaboration @t21rs #Downsyndrome and #research should have no borders. First memory as a parent, I was told to ignore different ranges for TSH because we are not in the US.

@UofTNews @uoftmedicine Important research that can't be done fast enough for those diagnosed. Are there any studies/trials looking for participants? Asking of a dear friend of mine.

A team led by @UofTMedicine researchers has uncovered new targets that could be the key to effectively treating glioblastoma, a lethal type of brain cancer. #UofT utoronto.ca/news/treat-gli…

@ChanKulatunga No, I am well aware of the inherent biases as a qualitative researcher ;) I hope more people do, esp those who have more power.

@goDSresearch Are you registering? It's quantitative...

So important... there is always risk of bias...

@Newsweek this is so typical of kremlin... first they invade and ravage a country (in the most recent case Ukraine), then they talk about decency 🤥growing up in soviet Ukraine, I remember very well how everything was blamed on the immoral decadent West... it hasn't changed a bit.

Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov said that the alliance "has thrown away all decency.". #Echobox=1732643830" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">newsweek.com/russia-nato-la…

This is Putin's response to Scholz's phone call. Words show weakness and invite escalation, as always.

I'm so happy that Scholz decided to de-escalate the war! Today, Russia sent "only" 120 missiles and 90 drones towards Ukraine.

@ElzHead @abc_ds_ @UCI_CFAR_DS @ucimind @UCIrvineHealth Very important to see #Downsyndrome and related research as integral to larger health and mind systems--thank you!

Excited for our Down Syndrome showcase!! @abc_ds_ @UCI_CFAR_DS @ucimind @UCIrvineHealth

Trump, a would-be autocrat, using Orban, an actual autocrat, as a character reference is too perfect. As with his praise for Xi and Putin as "strong," his naked envy of their unaccountable power is one of his few sincere expressions.

@ScienceAlert "The fact that neuronal integrity breakdown was slowed in ppl randomized to omega-3 treatment who are also at high risk for #Alzheimers is remarkable, AND warrants a larger clinical trial in more DIVERSE populations," says neurologist. Include #DownSyndrome

@mreitzel1 Great evocative theme! Happy learning @mreitzel1 #AusCPDM2024! Please share w/ us parent researchers!

It has been an amazing start to the #AusACPDM2024 conference! Looking forward to learning alongside international colleagues over the coming days.

@picardonhealth welcoming people w/ disabilities into the workforce is a win indeed; building up the mindset by welcoming children to inclusive classrooms, sports and recreation are important parts of the process.

@VL_konona @FT @NATO Politics, I guess, and the fear of negotiating w/ the aggressor who didn't stop in 2014 and unlikely to stop in 2024 at the territories he invaded, aka "liberated" 100% agree on the world class issues...Sadly political violence is one of them...

@goDSresearch @FT @NATO What stops us from turning a new arm's race to supplying infrastructure to people living in Ukraine? 🇺🇦 Learning how to build and devlop for climate resilience is a world class problem.

Letter: Seize peace in #Ukraine before it’s too late ft.com/content/90185a… via @ft Ukraine fought for independence, and won

How about investing in designing for accessibility, inclusion and belonging, rather than locking them up? 🤔

Importance of #Inclusiveresearch @WorldDSCongress, the last frontier in the inclusion of individuals w/ #DownSyndrome? Removing barriers can change lives of many AND benefit those w/out #Downsyndrome as health challenges overlap

@VL_konona @FT @NATO It's easier for some of us /expats living in the West to NOT forget our common, quite happy past & to blame NATO and Ukraine...we have a comfy choice to read about /hear the sirens/feel the pain from the atrocities inflicted by the big brother destroying people's lives in 🇺🇦

@goDSresearch @FT @NATO 🌎People have forgotten that they are brothers. 🌏Woe to us!🌏
