We got our COVID & flu shots at a local pharmacy today! 💉💪 I would have done it sooner but had to wait due to my participation in the #AeroVax trial. Also being as careful as possible before staying with my 92 y.o. Grandma next week!

Do I love that Pierre Poilievre is bleeding members? Heck yes. Do I hate that the Liberals are so conservative that it's enticing Conservatives to join them? Heck yes.

Ologies with Alie Ward @ologies.bsky.social is one of the best podcasts. And of course I'm biased but this is one of my favorite episodes ever: strigiformology, the science of owls! Plus it features Dr. Rocky Gutiérrez. @jonathanslaght.com also gets a mention. 🧪 🪶 www.alieward.com/ologies/stri...

Their gravy train is turning into a gravy cruise ship with all the perks they hand out to themselves and their friends. Maybe, possibly, they'll ruin less things by working less since they won't be introducing more terrible legislation.

Anyone interested in being the next polar bear biologist for Nunavut? Starting at $143,000/year including northern living allowance is not shabby though cost of living is truly insano up there. There is an opportunity for some work from home. www.gov.nu.ca/en/jobs/wild...

The *emergency* phase of the pandemic is over Martin. Believe it or not, we're still in a pandemic. Heading into year 7, in fact. And the media sure aren't helping.

I'll be on sabbatical starting January 1, 2026, and if anyone is looking for a guest speaker for department seminars, I'm happy to discuss possible dates. Reskeet widely! 🧪⚒️

Short-term gain for long-term pain: after the feds, Quebéc's provincial gov't proposes a law stating that major projects can bypass Environmental and Endangered Species laws. These projects may be examined and amended, but WILL be approved.

COVID isn’t acting like the viruses most of us grew up with, and treating it like “just a cold” is putting people at real risk. David Brasure breaks down why SARS-CoV-2 is fundamentally different, how it causes long-term damage, and what we can do to protect ourselves.

Booooo Winnipeg! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I can show them the data, tell them about long Covid, the risks it poses to get repeat infections, the impact it's having on immune compromised & disabled people & I don't know how much of any of it gets through, especially when all the structures surrounding us have just completely given up

Extreme heat doesn’t just feel exhausting — it ages your body. A new study shows repeated heatwaves can age you as much as smoking or drinking. Climate change is literally speeding up our biological clock. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

what shocks me that almost six years since the start of the pandemic, so many people still think that getting infected with covid "trains" the immune system, like with the flu virus

If there's one holiday movie I can recommend this season, it's Fire Log 2: A New Flame. There's no dialogue so it's a good one to put on in the background if you have friends or family over and want to catch up. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Thirty-six years later, we still remember. Fourteen women, killed because they were women. We honour their dreams, their strength, and their right to live freely. We must never stop fighting gender-based violence.

Sadly, people have been lied to by omission by our govts and public health and they don’t know that no one fully recovers from Covid. “There is no such thing as a COVID infection without consequence.” — David Putrino, Long Covid researcher www.cbc.ca/radio/quirks...

Canada’s top political leaders are climate deniers. There’s no such thing as “decarbonized” oil and no environmentally conscious way to increase fossil fuel production. Mark Carney and his government are sacrificing the climate and baking in worse natural disasters in the hope of short-term profit.

I mean, it's illegal for many businesses and advertisers to lie to the public. No more "alternative facts". Opinion is not fact.

Imagine the hole in Alberta’s budget when the price & demand for oil is in long-term decline in 2030s as a result of the energy transition and increased demand for clean energy. Not nostalgia for the past, it’s about winning the future. Just economics, folks.

People who care about climate change are “dreaming nostalgically about the past.” - Minister Hodgson Gotcha. That explains a lot.

This is morbidly fascinating. www.science.org/content/arti...

I'm not religious and I think this is so stupid. Does Quebec want negative growth by making all non-francophone and religious people unwelcome? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Dr. Michael "Being Covid-conscious is more than precautions and research. It’s grieving losses no one else will acknowledge, enduring mockery, protecting people who resent you, showing up for community the world says doesn’t matter, and fighting for a future others already declared lost."

For months @ainsliecruickshank.bsky.social has been pouring over documents trying to find out how many animals are killed on train tracks in B.C.

This is why OpenAI is selling so aggressively to education at all levels—they want to create entire generations of users incapable of reading, writing and thinking without ChatGPT to hold their hands And teachers and professors should call this out for what it actually is

Carney is reportedly preparing to push forward a pipeline to the coast. Catherine McKenna has been here before, and has some words of warning.

Food loss & waste is a huge issue, when ~40% of the world's food is never eaten. That means that ~40% of the world's agricultural land, water, chemical inputs, and greenhouse gases *weren't even necessary* to feed the world. And much of this waste ends up in landfills, where it releases methane.
