Globally, 80% of people want their countries to take stronger climate action, and over half think about climate change daily or weekly. Far from being split, humanity is largely united on wanting to do more. But how can we help move the needle? Find out: go.wri.org/climate-choi...

I'm goign to be radical here and suggest people listen to scientists instead of billionaires when it comes to what we should do about the ever-worsening climate crisis.

Covid was a wasted opportunity. During lockdown the climate of earth drastically improved, outdated work practices were uprooted & people had time for their own lives. It's a shame none of that continued.

This week, we lost one of the world’s greatest advocates for people and nature. Even in her final days, Dr. Jane Goodall was urging us not to give up, and now her legacy lives on through the countless voices she inspired. Read on Mailchimp: shorturl.at/lDxXk Read on LinkedIn: shorturl.at/VOiPa

PAYWALLED: Scientists no Longer Find Twitter Professionally Useful, and have Switched to Bluesky academic.oup.com/icb/advance-... #twitter #bluesky #PAYWALL

I loved working on this project because it was such a nice combination of analytical, forensic and environmental chemistry. Check it out!

Excited to be a part of this interesting project!

Teen climate activist (my son) needs Canadians to respond to a 2-minute survey to help him build data to bring to local Cdn politicians to urge them to make it easier for Canadians to donate used electronics for reuse (after wiped clean) and recycling.

The EPA has eliminated its research division, which for decades has provided the science behind regulations on clean air, clean water, and toxic chemicals. The US can afford to monitor, research, and regulate the impacts of industries on human and environmental health. We are just choosing not to.

In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...

There will come a day when complaints about the carbon tax will seem quaint compared to the increase in property damage and insurance costs associated with more common extreme weather events. You may dodge a bullet but your insurance rates have to cover those who didn't.

Holy crap! Remind me to never piss off #Ptbo moms! They are fierce when it comes to defending their #library and #librarians! ourfutureptbo.org/open-letter

This is interesting! Although I guess not that surprising.

Prominent climate scientist argues it's time to ditch the 'myth of neutrality' Canadian Katharine Hayhoe says scientists are human, and more than just 'brains in a jar.' www.cbc.ca/radio/quirks...

Recruiting U.S. scientists is a fine idea – except we’re barely supporting Canadian scientists as it is “this sounds like an excellent idea, except for one detail: There are insufficient funds for those of us who are already here.” #Canada #Research #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

🌱A vote for science is a vote for clean air and water💧 Science shapes our lives; healthcare, climate action, economic growth, public safety—yet it’s often ignored in elections. WE NEED YOU to help us put science at the center of the election!

One of my favs!

Hear, hear! Take action. Advocate across communication mediums. Build communities. ‘Now is not the time for despair’ — how scientists can take a stand against political interference www.nature.com/articles/d41... #GoScience #GoTeam!

It's probably no surprise but bears repeating: the cumulative scientific output if you were to add up all the half-finished papers, would likely outweigh the sum of published work by a factor of 10. 🧪

The loss of America money is a disaster for science but the idea that there is little money going into science elsewhere is simply not true. ourworldindata.org/grapher/rese...

“Scientists are also pushing to boost scientific education. This is especially important as evidence-based science is being undermined by influential voices.” www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Exciting news! www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/NewsDetail-D...

next Canadian government should think of boosting research funding up here and trying to grab as many American postdocs and researchers as possible

Summer is coming and with it, some less-than-charismatic fauna. Join us + Trent's own Dr. David Beresford on Tues the 11th for the science of the pesky flies that can so define time at the lake. The talk starts at 7:30pm and, as always, is free (with a cash bar on site).

Dear Ontarians: Own your democracy and VOTE today! We can never take our democracy for granted.

A 2018 survey of more than 4,000 Wikipedians found that 12% had a doctorate. Scientists made up one-third of the Wikimedia Foundation’s 16 trustees. A feature from Nature Careers outlines how scientists contribute to Wikipedia. 🧪
