I’m visiting the University of British Columbia today, so here is a bonus #Petrofuture map of Vancouver.

Okay:
Universal Basic Cybersecurity. *
For every organisation, the people through the government provide the means (not money but tools, knowledge and information) to have basic information security in place.
This as a response to the “Security Poverty Line” and the abysmal state of information security, especially (but certainly not exclusively) amongst the SMEs.
*) you can probably guess why I don’t pitch it as “Universal Basic Informationsecurity”. Also, just “Security” doesn’t work, because that is (rightly) used in the discourse around UBI. If it is confused with Universal Background Checks, that’s just a happy little coincidence.

I realise I never did a re-#introduction after moving to my bespoke, artisanal instance. So here it is!
I'm a soon-graduating PhD student at #UBC Biomedical Engineering with a research focus on #imaging, #biomechanics and #simulation of rare pediatric hip disorders like #perthes disease.
My other interests are all over the place: #urbanism, #classiccars, #retrocomputing, #electoralreform, #crochet, #music composition, #linux and #fedi and more I'll probably add as I remember!
I'm very pleased to report that yesterday I successfully defended my PhD thesis: "Advanced MR Imaging and Modelling of Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease"! 
I have to say, it feels good to be on this side of the big day!
After over 22 years at #UBC, I have moved to a new position as dean of social sciences at #UniMannheim in a faculty of psychologist, political scientists and sociologists.

You spend years as a student at #UBC #Vancouver and never realize that they have pretty comfortable suites for much cheaper than a hotel room.
I'm sitting is what is essentially a 1 bedroom apartment. Full kitchen and everything.
The location is the major downside unless you're here for a reason.
Well, it looks like my weekend project to set up my own single-user instance has been a complete success! Here's a brief (re) #introduction for me to pin.
I'm a PhD candidate in Biomedical Engineering at #UBC #Vancouver - but not for much longer!
My work has been to use advanced MRI and modelling to make the connections between hip joint shape and poor long-term outcomes in Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease.
I have many other interests, so expect a mishmash.

Yes, they have opened a **second** medical college (#UBC has been the only one for nearly a century), they have increased GP seats at UBCby nearly 30% iirc.
The #nursing side is far more trenchant and challenging, as the largest profession. Most schools across BC have had 25% more seat allocated. NPractitioner seats have quadrupled at some schools. Severe competition for faculty.world-wide slows pace, but BC leads the nation since pandemic.
Did you know? The #UnitedChurch once operated a home and school in #VictoriaBC for #Chinese and #Japanese girls and women. Today, many are surprised to learn this. Margery Hadley, a professional #archivist and member of #FirstMetropolitanUnitedChurch in Victoria, has recently completed a #digitization project that makes the images of the Oriental Home and School available online. It opens to us a now distant world and its concomitant issues.

#FirstMetArchives has been privileged to care for two important historical documents from the #OrientalHomeAndSchool. The first is the #ChineseRescueHome Advisory Committee minute book, 1896-1915. The second is the Oriental Home and School album, a fascinating assemblage of 95 photographs of the Oriental Home community, mainly between 1907 and 1916.
The Oriental Home and School album is now available online. It is part of First Met’s #historic #photographs digitization project that involved digital scanning and description of over 500 images from our #archival collections. These photographs are available to the public on #Flickr. The Oriental Home and School album is one of ten sets of First Met’s #HistoricalPhotographs available for public viewing.
First Met gratefully acknowledges the generous financial support of the #BritishColumbia #History #Digitization Program (2015), sponsored by the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre, #UBC.
