If your response to a billion $ windfall is 'you're not spending it on the right thing' then, congratulations, you've already lost the argument in the court of public opinion. A better argument would be to figure out how to leverage your province/city to maximize how much of that billion it gets.

But that's not what the song's abou...oh FFS nevermind

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...

I listened to this today and they mention Musk took the SAT and then went to Queens. Did Queens accept SAT scores in the 1990s?

I think you need to be an entomologist to fully appreciate this. So I guess political scientists are not social scientists, but just pretending to bee?

plant literature always sends a chill down my spine, like what if this is what WE sound like to non-entomologists? Could something as ordinary and harmless as the beetle taxonomist be this violently inscrutable??

Are they also going to put that little streaky thing on the ball like Fox had on the hockey puck, back in the day? Make it easier to follow...

Forest degradation is affecting biodiversity, climate, and well-being. But it's still hard to measure. CJFR welcomes papers on how to track and respond to degradation in temperate and boreal systems. More info ▶️ https://ow.ly/ZvF450Xr4cK #EnvironmentalScience #ForestResearch

I have a @usask.ca Biology Club bunny hug (hoodie) that I got in ca. 1998. and a t-shirt (that still fits!) I bought at my first @entsocamerica.bsky.social + @canentomologist.bsky.social joint meeting in Montreal in 2000.

Happy birthday to Dr. Roberta Bondar, born on this day in 1945 in Sault Ste. Marie! Canada's first female astronaut, she was also the first neurologist in space. She spent 8 days in space in 1992. She has 28 honorary degrees and a star on Canada's Walk of Fame.

Excuse me, we've never even met, maybe buy a girl a coffee before you offer that?

This thread is giving me strong undergraduate nostalgia. Hours spent on SilverPlatter followed by trolling the stacks in the Murray Library, then off to the photocopier with my copycard...

I named my fists spruce and budworm because you might get hit every 40 years or so but you're not sure where, or for how long.

Agreed! Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you’ve seen: Treble Charger at USask homecoming caberet Tragically Hip at Another Roadside Attraction Weakerthans at Dewey's Corb Lund at the Winspear Michael Kaeshammer at the Yardbird

What's the over-under on the reviews also being AI generated?

In my whole career I've never had a study where I've thought 'gee, maybe this is a Nature journal paper' and then you see this, and I think: Apparently they're quite a bit dumber than I took them for and I'm not shameless enough to send something this awful: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Ontario tried this in the 90s. You know what happens? Executive positions drift back to the capital while lower-paid, lower-influence positions stay in the regions. Nothing is any different but the whole thing is more expensive and that means less $ for frontline work.

This is hilarious. If they'd been paid to build a building and it was discovered some of the floors were made of Bologna would we invite them to do a review?
