@arthistorynews Looking forward to getting my copy. Do you touch on the 17th century and swagger portraits?

All of this and more in my new book, out now! /End

I visited the chapel at Pembroke College, Cambridge - Christopher Wren’s first building (1665). Its classical design feels conventional today, but in fact it was a radical and daring choice at the time. 🧵

Not a bike lane in sight, but I bet one more lane oughta do it.

@JohnLorinc @Spacing @fordnation @MayorOliviaChow I have three on my bicycle route from High Park to work downtown. We just want to feel safe.

#topoli #onpoli Today on @spacing: Dead man/woman/child cycling. @fordnation's attack on bike lanes will kill someone. Not if, but when. It's time for @MayorOliviaChow to defend the city. spacing.ca/toronto/2024/1…

@alexbozikovic True but practical. Half the size of the previous surface parking.

Too bad it has a parking garage underneath it 🤷‍♂️ landmark.utoronto.ca

Beautiful new @UofT Front Campus landscape by Michael van Valkenburgh.

It's really interesting that slow zones on the subway which carries 1 million riders per day gets barely any media coverage, while Gardiner Expressway construction which impacts 140,000 vehicles a day gets seemingly nonstop media coverage.

#topoli The latest in the ridiculous saga of Desoto's on St. Clair West at Lauder. A restaurant operating a corner patio for 20 years, and, despite the intervention of @BravoDavenport, the City is still giving this guy the gears. Why? change.org/p/save-desotos…

We have a date! Women scientists in MS... Applications for the 2024 Rachel Horne Prize opens Friday 8 March! This year the US$40,000 award will honour a female scientist whose exceptional clinical research work has improved patient care in women with MS. rachelhorneprize.com/criteria-nomin…

@RachelHorne19 Sending love and support @RachelHorne19

Bit of a shock After 8 years of clear MRIs, my most recent one shows an old lesion at the top of my spine has grown larger. Looks like 'smouldering' MS has struck Will be taking it slower, so will prob not be posting as often & will be a bit later responding. Onwards we go..

@HarvardBiz A very fulsome list. 😂

No, “used” and “utilized” are not interchangeable. s.hbr.org/47ntQEd

@arthistorynews Death, well this Death, is just horrific. How is it I never knew about this work/tomb!?

Admiring Roubiliac’s extraordinary ‘Nightingale Tomb’ in Westminster Abbey. Built in 1761 to commemorate Joseph and Elizabeth Nightingale, it shows Joseph trying to ward off death, after his wife died in childbirth. Anguish and grief in marble rarely come better than this.

@RachelHorne19 Grrrr. If only! 😩

Loss for words... What's the oddest advice you've received about ur MS? Mine today: "Have you tried a vitamin C infusion? That will help."

We are not going to fundraise our way out of this 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾

@Thomas_dAquino An absolute favourite of mine.

Private time in the collection of Madrid’s Thyssen-Boremisza Museum. Captured by Caravaggio’s stunning masterpiece Saint Catherine of Alexandria 1598 - 1599. National Gallery of Canada Foundation Patrons 2023 Art Tour #art #culturaldiplomacy #philanthropy

@meredithmartin Thanks for your leadership in a really tough media moment and good luck in the next chapter.

Monday was my last day at TVO after 22 years. This clip is from our press conference at QP on Oct 3rd. I have mad respect for everyone who runs for elected office. It's a huge responsibility. Thank you! @OntarioPCParty, @OntLiberal, @OntarioGreens & @OntarioNDP #onpoli

Where's MS? Am researching dementia/neurodegenerative diseases in UK Dementia affects 885,000 Parkinson's - 145,000 MS - 130,000 Yet MS not mentioned at start of this @GOVUK doc or @CambridgeBRC, @Oxford_NDPH & others. Is it because MS impacts young ppl - mostly women?

Parts of a giant 400-yr old eucalyptus tree, 85 meters tall & 280 cubic meters of stem volume from #Tasmania’s Florentine Valley are now hauled by logging trucks. It’s equivalent to poaching the extremely few remaining & critically endangered Javan rhinos. All for profit & greed.

@Thomas_dAquino Stunning gardens resulting from years of care and inspiration.

Looking northeast in our gardens on #McKayLake with newly flowering #astilbe in the distance. #gardens #RockcliffePark #Ottawa

Great news on a key piece of legislation. Thanks for all the hard work.
