Am I wrong to understand that now Americans will pay 15% more in imports from all countries? If all imports are taxed at 15% that is just taxing Americans that much more? So much for republicans being about lower taxes i guess.

I will miss my friend and former collaborator Byron Caughey, one of giants of neurodegenerative disease research. In 2002 i published a JBC paper on trafficking of the prion protein and shortly after received a communication from Byron, who I had never met. www.legacy.com/us/obit-writ...

Such a #sunset tonight

Today is National Flag of Canada Day. At the stroke of noon on February 15, 1965, Canada's red and white maple leaf flag was raised for the very first time on Parliament Hill. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

@barackobama.bsky.social: "When I was POTUS, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."

Celebrating love beyond the diffraction limit. Happy Valentine’s Day from ONI ❤️🔬

“Some pundits, politicians and right-wing news outlets began posting about what they called an epidemic of violence by trans ppl. But experts say there's no evidence to support [this,] and trans advocates worry claims will do [harm to] an already marginalized community.” www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Ontario will allow public colleges and universities to raise tuition for the first time since 2019, as part of a broader plan that will boost funding for higher education and put the sector on a more sustainable path, the government said on Thursday. nyti.ms/3ZzP2pa

should I be surprised that most of these *stars* continued to communicate with a sex offender years after they learned about it? And this moral failure does not impact their current leadership roles?

🧵The number of academic stars with ties to Epstein is remarkable Besides ones already noted including Martin Nowak, Lawrence Krauss, some new ones from the files are *Nobel Laureate & Columbia Professor Richard Axel *Network Theorist Albert-Laszlo Barabasi, Northeastern *Data Scientist Victoria..

The part in the Harry Potter series where the Death Eaters take over the Ministry of Magic so that it does whatever Voldemort demands is very useful when I’m explaining to my young boys what’s currently happening in the United States Government.

MIND is a fantastic microscopy platform supported by @braincanada.bsky.social 🙏. It enables advances in the study of neurodegenerative disorders that could never before be visualized like this in the whole brain.

welcome to the resistance, Zeus

that is the way to do it. And let’s not watch it also.

This is Alex Pretti. This morning he was murdered by ICE. Six ICE agents held him down and shot him at point blank range. Alex was a nurse and researcher at the VA. Our thoughts are with his loved ones and we stand united in action calling for the abolishment of ICE. #ScientistsAgainstICE

This is the way

David McGuinty, Canada's Minister of National Defence, has responded to Donald Trump's claim that America has "never really asked anything" of NATO, that the alliance sent only "some troops" to Afghanistan and that "they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines." It's pretty blunt.

Canadian pension funds, especially those like OPSEU’s OPTrust, that emphasize responsible investing, should be following this example.

If you are a Canadian, and you travel to or support the United States in any way, you are a traitor.

I guess robbing other people is fine now in the US if you can 🤷🏼‍♂️. “that was the perfect attack. we’ve taken over a whole bank. We’ve taken $4 million in one day.” Let’s go look for other banks.

“[…] Healthcare for gender-questioning youth has become increasingly politicised, and misinformation is rampant, making it more difficult for youth to access care when they need it.”
