As an Indigenous researcher and journal editor, I strongly oppose this. Positionality statements create transparency and, at a minimum, give us insight to the ethical worldview of the researchers and provide a way to mitigate the exploitative nature of research.

#Positionality statements do not belong in the research literature. This is what my coauthors and I argue in the article published in Perspectives on Psychological Science. @PsychScience Our objections to this growing practice are three-fold (1/6). journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…



We got our first grant! It is small, but it is wonderful and hopefully the start to many great things! #RCT #DonorHumanMilk #Microbiome


Watch here to learn more about the work we are doing at the LATCH Lab! Thank you @ucalgarynursing for the profile. 🤗

something I find very interesting about being deaf is that apparently my boobs can hear my infant crying even when I can’t

The amazing @DrSamiraJeimy and I collaborated on a post because we are both tired of seeing the term ‘immunity debt’ being thrown around. We also get into why we are seeing a record number of pediatric hospitalizations, so stick with us. 🧵(1/8)

Retweet this if you stand in solidarity with CUPE education workers.


I am giving several talks on infant feeding over the next month - all containing elements of critical reflection on the harm that the patriarchy and white feminism has done to infant feeding. I also align intersectionality to the Determinants of Health and Trauma Informed Care.

Another record-breaking day at the scanner for the @CatherineALebel lab: A one year old @PregnancyStudy participant scanned while awake!! Great work @UofC_MRI4Kids @UofCr4kids team! 🧠


I love this! You can inspire people so much more when they feel cared for.

I cannot say enough amazing things about the nurses that made this recovery possible! Absolute gems, all of them. So thank-you for not only caring for our babies but for saving the parents too!
