Thanks for the follows, likes and shares everyone. I'm so grateful to see other people smile and enjoy the same silly things as I do. ๐Ÿ™ƒ
Just wanted to clarify that I am not an ecologist. I am however a neuroscientist/psychologist who has expertise in animal behaviour.

I used to teach rats how to use touchscreens and make value-based choices to better undertand the role of the hippocampus in decision-making. Image
These days I get to apply my training in science and behaviour to try and help improve the lives of others in the #GC ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ public service.

I worked in public health to help support the pandemic response. Now, I'm a senior researcher at Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.
Follow me if you want. But, fair warning...

Things I tweet about:
โœด๏ธ behavioural science (nudge, boost, ethics, etc.)
โœด๏ธ equity / anti-racism
โœด๏ธ social / systems change
โœด๏ธ public health
โœด๏ธ public policy

Things I don't (usually) tweet about:
โœด๏ธ animals riding animals
Ok I lied I also tweet about animals sometimes especially this one ๐Ÿ’– ImageImage
Had to append this oneโ€”frog riding fish ๐Ÿธ๐ŸŸ
Every time i think this thread is dead, it pulls me back in with a husky riding a horse ๐Ÿ•๐ŸŽ

Last Sunday, I was ecstatic that in just 5 days Iโ€™d finally get to be vaccinated.

Since then, my partner (who was vaccinated >1 month ago) and I have both tested positive for COVID-19. 1/x
Sunday night, my partner started to have a mild cough.

We thought this was a bit suspiciousโ€”sheโ€™s vaccinated, we work from home, we're always extremely careful. Was this a cold? Who gets a cold these days?

Monday morning, her cough worsened. Headache. Time to get tested. 2/x
We find a local testing center. We get tested within 5-10 minutes.

We are told results would be available in 1-2 days, and that if it's negative--but we have symptoms--we should seek another test to confirm.

We go home, prepared to self-isolate for 14 days. 3/x
