1.) Beloved Montreal neuroscientist, Dr. Nadia Chaudhri, has passed away after dealing with ovarian cancer. She shared her journey from when she was diagnosed last year till when she was in palliative care, in between sharing difficult aspects such as how she told her son she was dying as well as sprinkling joy and inspiration every now and then. In her final days, she continued to raise funds for under-represented students and raise awareness for ovarian cancer. I'm absolutely devastated.
2.) One thing she inspired women to do was take charge of our health and speak up at the doctor's. Do NOT less any doctor dismiss your pain. For so long, she was being treated for a urinary tract infect and by the time the cancer was discovered, it had spread. hmmph
3.) Whew.
4.) Life is so senseless. So meaningless. Ah.
5.) A brother’s obituary for his ‘Special Sister’ became a poignant internet phenomenon.
6.) TFD has been trying out a four-day workweek and have been really successful. Man, I would give anything to actually have a 32-hour, 4-day workweek. It would give me so much time to rest and pursue my other passions. But then again even 40 hours is actually way more than that already sooo knowing our culture, even the 32-hour workweek would somehow spill over.
