What a great tool. Names and their correct pronunciation are very important. Let’s get it right every time!!
Someone from work, in their email signature, has a link after their name with pronunciation. Follow the link & it takes you to namedrop.io where you can click to hear them say their name. COOLEST THING EVER.

If you are an Ontario health worker:
☎️ Call Doug Ford.
👩🏽💻 Check if you live in a Conservative riding and call your MPP.
📱 Post a video on #HealthWorkersFightBack about why you chose to act.
We know the solutions. If Doug Ford can’t do it, it’s time to step aside.

This week my bill for 10 paid sick days will be debated in the Ontario Legislature.
Retweet if you support 10 paid sick days and send @fordnation a strong message.

One of my former students asked me for help with their biology final exam so of course I remixed @theestallion's Body song into #Antibodyody to teach a little about antibodies and the immune response. A quick little song from your favorite scientist #body 😂

8yo in writing/health class learning to write paragraphs: “There are 3 reasons I will not smoke. First reason is it gives you cancer and I don’t want to end up in my mom’s hospital” 😭❤️
Told the 6 & 8 yr olds I changed my name from mom-mom-mommy-mooooom-mama-mommy to supercalifragilisticexbialidocious. I’ve been enjoying no one repeatedly calling my name for no reason. #momwin #marypoppins

A post #allogeneic #stemcelltransplant patient emailed me to say he is doing amazingly well 440 days out, off all meds and he couldn’t have done it without us. What we do matters and I work with the best #BMT team in the universe @pmcancercentre. My heart is full.

Back when I was an intern, I was chatting with the grandmother of one of my patients.
Her granddaughter was about to begin 9th grade, and she recalled how excited she’d been to start high school herself - but the school was closed.
I was puzzled. I didn’t know what she meant.
