On this day in 1879, Sir Sandford Fleming presented two papers ("Time Reckoning" and "Longitude and Time Reckoning") at a meeting of the Canadian Institute in Toronto. He suggested the creation of worldwide time zones. By 1929, all major countries had accepted time zones.

They are being charged for falsely advertising over-inflated ‘original’ prices so items looked deeply discounted when on sale. Ok, great, precedent has been established. Now go after Best Buy, Walmart, and Amazon. #Canada

"Alberta is now an outlier among western provinces. British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba all confirmed to CBC News that Type 58 visa holders are eligible for public health coverage in their provinces." And the limiting health care begins. #abpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Rita Levi-Montalcini was raised by a strict father who disapproved of women in higher ed. She convinced him to let her study medicine. She went on to co-discover the Nerve Growth Factor. She received the Nobel Prize in 1986. She was another immigrant that gifted the US with pioneering work. 🧪

Canada’s Stephen Gogolev delivered a performance of a lifetime just now. He told me seconds ago he knew what was at stake, a spot in the team event final, and wanted to deliver for Team Canada. Did he ever. A special moment for the 21-year-old Canadian.

Over a recent 20 year period, federal health transfers increased 212 per cent. Total health spending by all 10 provinces increased by 158% over the same period. Why are provinces like AB, QC, ON and SK seeking more jurisdictional power while constantly begging the feds for more💰 ? #cdnpoli

There are lots of important books about concentration camps; two that I have used in my own teaching are "KL" by Nikolaus Wachsmann and "Illness and Inhumanity in Stalin’s Gulag" by Golfo Alexopoulos.

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

The United States would have *all* the leverage in any negotiation with an independent Alberta. It's amazing the dummies behind this think it would work out well for them.

The Placebo Myth Picked the Wrong War www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/... by @jonathanjarry.bsky.social "It’s possible we are looking at a Frankenstein’s creature of a placebo myth, which is still regularly cited in the medical literature as fact."

Alberta separatists might look haphazard and kooky, but they have a path to turn a 20% issue into a real threat. 1 - Normalize separatism so it no longer feels toxic. 2 - Tie it to every grievance. 3 - Find a political dance partner. The U.S.A. They are now pushing all 3 at once.

Russia’s full-scale invasion began 4 years ago. It began in winter, and so this winter is the 5th. And, for civilians, the worst.

“research shows that cells actively reshape the endoplasmic reticulum or ER…Rather than remaining static the ER undergoes controlled remodeling as organisms grow older.

As an @aaas.org Fellow I have been extremely disappointed at the lukewarm efforts of our scientific society to push back on all the excesses of the Trump administration. Dismantled training programs, destruction of public health research & other blows & we respond with fawning praise? Shame! 🧪 1/2

Danger word list for NIH. #ScienceSky 🧪 ☠️🩺 #MedSky Be careful in your grant app. Use a scary word and your lifesaving, world changing work won't get funded. Replace all instances of danger words, with "amurica" so the chud who has been tasked hitting "cntrl F" will not find the spooky words.
