Super happy to have a belated cup signing by Wyatt Beach who defended his thesis in December (remotely)! Big congrats Wyatt- his work applying JDSM models to reveal the importance of connectivity in shaping fish community composition is pretty innovative- coming soon to a journal near you!

Fucking right- it IS garbage. Rourke speaks truth to power here, and to call it a 'tirade' is to belittle his criticism of a rookie CFL commissioner tinkering with the rules of a league that spans over a century. www.tsn.ca/cfl/article/...

Yet again, machine learning — even gussied up via the transformer architecture — encodes and reinforces societal biases. This study reveals that LLM-based peer review relies heavily on author institution in its decisions. arxiv.org/abs/2509.15122

Let's cheer the Canadian women dominating world rugby. They had to crowd source to raise the money to even get into the tournament. Nobody took them seriously. They crushed the New Zealand giants. They are going into the finals. Come on fellow Canucks - is the real miracle team. So proud.

Superstore flagging raspberries as being Canadian. But the packaging shows they're all from the US

I like this. Since under RFK Jr, Covid shots are now for people with underlying conditions that put them at risk, Michigan’s chief medical executive Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian states that not having the most recent Covid shot constitutes such an underlying condition. www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/inside...

What an awesome cruise to #SuperiorShoals #LakeSuperior with the crew of the Blue Heron (Captain Rual, Jason, Tom, Ted, Lisa), Inspired Planet (Zach and Yvonne) and researchers from U Vermont (Bianca, Gwen) and U Windsor (Lydia). Incredible experience, can't wait to dig into the data!!!

Just a typical Friday night / Saturday morning on #SuperiorShoals #LakeSuperior #hydroacoustics #pinging

It is funny to see all these ads that are like "Look yes we know we are called Montana's or Boston Pizza but please believe us we are a Canadian company that has inexplicably been marketing ourselves as American for decades! Please notice the maple leaf in our logo!"

Gotta admit I only had the #Redblacks #Lions game on in the background but what an incredible finish by Ottawa #cfl

What an awesome group of students at our Lakehead OUPFB field course at the Experimental Lakes Area that wrapped up last week. Some truly inspired projects this year that really knocked it out of the park. This bunch is going on to do great things.

This is a travesty. Call the firemen... #Farenheit451 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:

Curious what this might mean for the Port of Thunder Bay… I get the impression that the last time Port of Churchill got a big boost of investment it was at the expense of Port of TBay…

TW: suicide . . . . . . . More on this story.

TW: suicide . . . . . . In one of our new exercises for our online course, we ask students to discuss Sam Altman's description of ChatGPT as a "calculator for words." A calculator will never talk you into killing yourself, tell you how to do it, and convince you not to reach out for help.

It's Minnesota State Fair time! It's time for Minnesotan folk art! Here, for example, is Saturn Devouring His Corn, in the seed art category!

Meta banned a far-right "news" outlet from advertising on its platform. Sounds good, right? Except it turns out Meta accepted $300,000 in new ads from the Epoch Times that targeted Canadians. I'm teaming up with my pals at the @nationalobserver.com to tell you all about Rory White's scoop:

Commercial LLMs freely fabricate quotations from public figures. It's worth thinking about why. They tend to fabricate quotes that are generally in line with what the person might have said. If it weren't for the quotation marks, this would be not be a particularly notable sin. An example:

Just in case there was any doubt, ChatGPT 5.0 still makes up completely random citations that don't exist and should not be used for literature search.

I'm very proud to receive the 2025 Robert P. McIntosh Award from the @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social Vegetation Section at #ESA2025 with an amazing group of colleagues, for our paper on Community #MastSeeding. 🥳 Paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1... Award info: esa.org/vegetation/a...

I cannot emphasize enough that the playbook being used against mRNA vaccines (and vaccines in general) is IDENTICAL to the playbook used to restrict voting rights after the 2020 election: actively sow public distrust, then cite the distrust you sowed as an independent reason for your desired policy

Our political cartoonists know the score. (Clay Bennett for the Chattanooga Times Free Press)

RFK Jr and his GOP enablers are determined to undermine safe, effective mRNA vaccine technology that offers our best defense against future pandemics.

I feel like I have a way-more-than-reasonable number of posts about birds in my timeline. #observationsonbluesky

This doesn't seem shady at all... www.cbc.ca/news/world/g...

So much for academic freedom- this is insane.

7-0.This is insane.

6-0.

Make that 5-0.

And now it’s 4-0 for Seattle.

Watching Cruz Azul getting crushed by the Sounders and I am here for it. Cruz Azul controlled the tempo first half with tight D and just got their pocket picked at the start of the second half. Will see how this finishes. Oh and CAZ has like 3-4 X the number of fouls as SEA currently…

It has taken medical science 200 years to advance humans to the point where people are so healthy and living so long that they can deny that science and medicine is what got us here.

Blessed to find this beautiful electric blue Faxonius virilis while sampling the St. Lawrence for my doctoral work! This is a fairly rare phenotype for this native North American species!
