Pleaaaaaaaaaassssssseeeee

Guess we'll involuntarily be reducing our climate impact, oh well.

Brent Crude now at USD $116/barrel. Anyone know the current price of sunlight, wind or water? 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋 oilprice.com

No kings 🇺🇸

US/Israel now bombing university campuses — the same places that were the sites of anti-regime protests a few weeks ago. And I wonder what provosts and deans of US universities on Qatar and the UAE are thinking this morning

Surinam toads have a one-of-a-kind reproduction, as the eggs are pushed onto the mother’s back before being covered by her skin. 😮 After three to four months of development, fully formed toads hatch and leave. Hear more about this weird and wonderful creature from Museum scientist Jeff. 👇

I wish I felt differently from a week ago...

"China’s population is four times the size of America’s, and its culture is unabashedly pro-science, even relative to other developed countries." 🧪

In case you needed any clarification where Poilievre stands on trans rights.

It remains outrageous that no one in Canada even bothered with a proper inquiry into the massive failures of the pandemic.

"Resin pricing could get really out of control. Got this email from a film vendor that Exxon and Dow going to push more pricing. 20-30 cents per pound is a 40-50 pct increase alone. Anything plastic is going to see massive price increases. Some companies won’t survive this." - @blueprintsmb22

As the kid of someone who died on a beach, I don’t endorse this plan

The federal government *dramatically overcompensated* for abuse by some colleges in international student visas, and now Canada's long-term prosperity and its university systems both get to suffer unnecessarily as a result.

Astonishing. The goal of our war is now to undo the effect of the war we started. Gosh, if only we could rewind to, say, four weeks ago when the Strait of Hormuz was open and normal!

I lost my jobs, my kids have measles, I can't afford steak, and gas is $5 a gallon. But at least now there's a statue of Christopher Columbus on the White House grounds.

68% of households in Paris proper (population: 2 million) do not own a car.

No academic society with international members should be meeting in the USA

Time to sell US airline shares

Really feels as if the Liberals think that since they got re-elected last year they must have solved the housing crisis. Full list of LPC accomplishments in housing: 1) Obliterating intl student numbers, thus making post-secondary education worse, 2) Writing some big cheques 3) er 4) That's it

So not only going to commit a war crime but blow up a nuclear power plant. Ok Don.

Why is it that the Canadian public paid $35B for the transmountain pipeline, and billions more subsidizing oil companies, but we get no relief when oil prices go up?

Weird how so many people who yelled about the national debt when Biden was President have nothing to say about this $1billion per day war cost.

Professors & university staff were targeted & fired for less than this just a few months ago.

Very sad to hear of the passing today of our UCSF colleague Mike Bishop at the age of 90. A legendary and inspiring figure. He also led UCSF as Chancellor. Have a listen to his Nobel lecture. youtube.com/watch?v=CDv7...

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

As someone in biotech, I’m stunned by the lack of more public response, especially given our academic collaborations, academic founders, academic Science Advisory Board members, and academic database/tool usage. Many colleagues are concerned and upset, but it doesn’t seem to translate to anything.

This has baffled me from the start. Grant money dries up and then industry pivots to what...selling Taq polymerase at the grocery store? So many lab supplies don't have any demand outside of academic research settings.

This was bound to happen at some point. Somewhat ironically “drill baby drill” has probably significantly moved the timeline up on decarbonization.

Fail to plan, plan to fail

Something about turning the other cheek.

Predicting it’s about to get a lot more difficult to get all sorts of lab supplies. Probably much worse than COVID.

Middle East war: why attacks on gasfields like South Pars are a major escalation

The Pentagon is requesting the equivalent of $1,500 per American household to fund President Trump's unauthorized, unconstitutional, and unpopular war. Congress must say no.
