@JulieLeask Political science & information science have been studying misinformation for decades, but they are both commonly overlooked by misinformation research newcomers.

A misinformation panel discussing the importance of social sciences with no social scientists... 🧐 Plenty of people whose core business is researching this, and its impacts, particularly in psychology. #GHS2024

Honoured to be among this cohort as Chair in Building Trusted Population Health Information Systems & Interventions. Looking fwd to engaging over the next 6y w decision makers & info scientists to address misinformation & mistrust. I'm rarely here; catch me @greyson.bsky.social

@BrentToderian I can still see them...

POLL: Do you like this site better or worse now that “likes” can’t be seen by others?

@TransLink Fingers crossed even more tightly after chasing 4 different 620 and 601s that either already had bikes on them or were Sorry Bus Full in order to get home from a beach bike excursion during this year's Go By Bike Week.

@TransLink All our cyclist fingers are firmly crossed! Would have been great to have for Go By Bike Week, but we will take what we can get to avoid dealing with messy Massey Tunnel workarounds or waiting multiple 620s to get on!

@TransLink Will the 900 bike bus be returning this year? 🤞🙏 If so, can you let us know when?

@kulpreetsingh If her immunocompromise is not enough to qualify for Plan Z coverage, she might consider enrolling in the CanTreatCOVID study that is testing whether Paxlovid is effective for people with chronic conditions or who are 50+ years old: cantreatcovid.org

@kulpreetsingh Hi Kulpreet, if your mother is moderately or severely immunocompromised, has MSP, and has recently tested + for COVID-19, BC covers it under Pharmacare Plan Z (no cost). Info here: #pax" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/he… I hope she recovery swiftly and fully.

@TransLink On that page, in the "Bikes on Buses" section, it says "Motor-assisted bikes are not permitted." Does this not apply to ebikes with, say hub motors?

@DevonGreyson Hi there, based on my understanding, E-bikes are permitted on the bus under certain conditions listed here translink.ca/rider-guide/bi…. However, E-scooters are not permitted at all as they cannot be properly secured. I hope this helps. Cheers!!^AA

@TransLink Can you clarify rules regarding ebikes and buses? Some places on the website suggest no ebikes on any buses while others suggest they are okay if they have standard dimensions and the battery removed. Thank you!

@dockevinmcleod @petroman62 That said, I hope that if the new self-administered cervix screening kits are a success, then colon screening tests by request for eligible BC residents will follow.

@dockevinmcleod @petroman62 My understanding from BC Cancer is that there are online "walk in" referral services such as bccancer.bc.ca/screening/colo… for those without a primary care provider.

Some provinces allow colon cancer screening for patients without a primary care provider. I wonder what holds BC back from making this important policy chance? If there was political will it could be done before the end of March (colorectal cancer awareness month)

@RS_McNeil Oh, you got me to break my Twitter fast! Only the combo of public health & kidlit could do that. Back to Bsky!

@RS_McNeil My kid also loved Binky (the Space Cat, etc.) but there are a lot of words, if I recall correctly.
