What sets this site apart is its ingenious use of technology. Alongside the multilingual presentation, site provides commentaries on each Shloka by numerous esteemed scholars. This allows readers to delve deeper into the philosophical and spiritual nuances of the Bhagavad Gita
So what's the difference between nutritional psychiatry and metabolic psychiatry?🧵(1/6)
#Metabolicpsychiatry is a subfield that focuses on the assessment and treatment of metabolic dysfunction as a means to improve #mentalhealth. (2/6)
There is a complex but crucial relationship between #metabolic dysfunction, food, and mental health. (3/6)
@PierrePoilievre didn't post it on his Twitter feed but condemned 'vile' views of Germany's @AndersonAfDMdEP in the media.

@globalnews @CBCNews @CTVNews @NatObserver all reported Poilievre denounced 'vile' and 'racist' views of @AndersonAfDMdEP who met with 3 of his MPs, 2 of whom (Lewis & Allison) have postured that didn't know who she was or what she believes.

1⃣ Data challenges: new privacy regulations, no access to third-party cookies, and new post-covid advertising models
Some research questions to look at:
• What business models can help companies adapt to changing privacy policies?
• What available data (e.g., search data) should firms use to improve targeting?
• Can firms optimally combine pre and post covid advertising models?

You usually are assigned a locker. You can bring your phone and PC. Except this library required you to have your own lock. I can buy one on site! Oh. Only with coins. No card or paper cash. I go in search of cash of the coin variety. Done. Lock acquired.

Real-talk: #DisabilityStudies — however good the intentions of the researchers within are — is still situated in #academia and therefore is not exempt from the elitist problems that come from the "#IvoryTower". This is a five-part thread because I have Things To Say. 1/5
2/5: #DisabilityStudies / #Disabled #Researchers have a fascinating habit of dismissing Minority. "Your research doesn't mention BIPOC/LGBT/etc. disabled folx?" "Those are only a small % of the population." So are we? Disabled people are a minority. That's the point. ...Isn't it?
3/5 Likewise, #DisabilityStudies has a habit of dismissing non-academics. I'm writing an op-ed about this because the irony is fascinating/frustrating. How can you advocate for emancipatory, participatory, research while dismissing 95% of disabled people for not being 'experts'?

Sharing a short 🧵 of #PatientEngagement in #Research resources co-created by & approaches to working w/ #PatientPartners in @cpn_rdc. CPN is funded by @CIHR_IRSC's Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research initiative & I've had the privilege to help with its #PE work .../1
#PatientPartners are part CPN's governance as co-chairs of and members on all committees. More about CPN here cpn.mcmaster.ca, and its #PatientEngagement Cttee is tasked with carrying out its #PE work. The Cttee is mostly ppl who live with #Pain & a few researchers...2
#PatientEngagement can seem overwhelming if you're new to it as a #Researcher or #Trainee. The #PE Cttee has some advice on simply talking to #PatientPartners about your research as a start. You never know the ideas those conversations lead to cpn-rdc.ca/docs/default-s… .../3
I spend a lot of time thinking and writing about, and advocating for #PatientPartner #compensation or #payment as part of research or other teams. I'm going to share some resources and thoughts as I've been asked lately about this 🧵.../1
For me it's best practice to offer #PatientPartners compensation (I'm going to use that term to mean the same thing as payment), and:
👉not everyone wants it - cool
👉some people will ask for flexibility in payment
👉if you don't have a budget for this, be transparent

If you're offended or defensive about my last tweet 👆re: 'best practice to offer #PatientPartners #compensation' - I'm ok with that, but you're not going to change my mind. In my experience, you represent a specific demographic that has the privilege to feel that way. ..../3
One thing I have seen weaponized against those who are marginalized and have experienced harm at those in positions of ‘leadership’ is the anger expressed. So very easy for #physicians, #researchers, #therapists, #counselors to point to the anger & exclaim ‘see how unbalanced 1/
this person is?’, ‘see how ill they are?’. When people are in positions where they have been harmed, where they have watched loved ones be harmed & it continues re of their voices, of their pleas for help, when those that are ‘suppose’ to help ignore the harms & gaslight 2/
#anger, to me, is a normal response. Yet many professionals use this instead to illustrate how ‘unstable’ a person or community is. NEVER do I condone threats or physical harm to anyone yet I have seen the #gaslighting of a group of or individual that has been viscerally 3

While funding wasn't an issue to me at all, I encourage everyone to think from a ROI perspective at MS or Ph.D. levels.
I read somewhere that an acceptance without proper funding is essentially a polite decline. $$ matters.

A thought-provoking question for everyone in the crypto community.
Why is $XRP & $XLM listed as stable coins by @WorldBank?
My idea is settlement fees and transfer times are stable (4 seconds + less than 1c fee) and for funds moving there is minimal fluctuation in 4 seconds
Why is $XRP & $XLM listed as stable coins by @WorldBank?
My idea is settlement fees and transfer times are stable (4 seconds + less than 1c fee) and for funds moving there is minimal fluctuation in 4 seconds
Compare 4 seconds to the broken correspondent banking system fees & exchange rates, which also take 5-7 days to settle. (That is not stable)
Example:
1. Send 1 million $
2. Bank has ledger with XRP / XLM
3. Sends tokens to other bank - 4 seconds
4. Receiving bank Converts 2 Cash

Opening jars, playing with toys, sneakily escaping from confinements, jetting water to soak people—#octopuses are notorious for such intelligent antics!
Their large brains make them capable of high-order cognitive behaviours, including problem-solving and tool usage.
