The Kerala's ideals for humanity, from Kim Stanley Robinson's "The Years of Rice and Salt"
A particularly dark day in the world. Driven by human decisions, not inevitability. I reflect on this paragraph when I need inspiration for what our world could be. What we can make it to be.
The natural gas facility..will produce 1.4 gigawatts of energy each day, solely to power what could become the largest artificial intelligence (#AI) data centre in the county. That’s equivalent to the daily demand for the entire city of Edmonton.'

What would it take for a GO bus network in south western Ontario? Specifically how much $$$ it would cost, and ridership expectations, for this rough area.
Daily, multiple trips for Windsor/Sarnia-London-Stratford-KW-Guelph

If Canada was the 51st State this would be our Vichy Gov’s official statement:
Oh FUCK this and fuck anyone who voted for this
We use these to help regulate moisture in our lab fridges. They work well! Just make sure to have a secondary container when pouring them out...they tend to spill everywhere
Here's another #MegabaseSpark submission, from
@osn-scott.bsky.social: "The Open Yarrowia Collection" (detail in reply) Like and repost if you like this idea! #SynBio #RootPath
@bhutilakarpoche.bsky.social has been a steadfast ally from Day 1. When other politicians turned a blind eye to price fixing and predatory landlords, Bhutila stood up for tenants. That's what true leadership looks like!
Finally identifying the problem with AI I couldn't quite articulate.
TORONTO’S NEW LANDLORDS: They’re ultra rich & over the next 8 years they’re bringing 21,000 units without rent control to a new building near you.
Meet the corporate firms that a growing number of Torontonians are paying their rent to.

The iGEM Grand Jamboree and the Serious Fun of Engineering Biology
The iGEM
Grand Jamboree doesn't feel like any other scientific conference. It's zany, it's authentic, and most of all, it's FUN
I wrote this OpEd piece for ACS Synbio about what makes iGEM work and why other scientific events need to take notes

RBPAMFM was right there for the taking!
Would you rather live in a world without modern medicine or a world without B2B SaaS?
When someone claims "biotech shows a lack of progress relative to digital tech" let's keep in mind that there are other metrics of progress besides how fast you can start and 100x a company
Can I ❤️ this more than once?
"3D printed homes" but no mention of rent control. Are you kidding me? Real rent control, including vacancy control, is the simplest and fastest thing that we can do to tackle the #housingcrisis macleans.ca/longforms/ho...

Samsonite, hands down. I've been traveling regularly with the same set for over 15 years and zero issues. They're an American company, but Canadian distribution and a great outlet are in Stratford ON.
"The housing crisis will not be solved by a policy debate. This is a social movement. This is class war!" - John Clarke #housingjustice
We're at @housingjusticenow.bsky.social in Montreal where @cynthiablack.bsky.social is speaking about Big Tech vs #housingjustice
you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.
Not a bad article, but this is irritating. Why should someone being "caring" or "aggressive" be specific to a gender? I get that politics was historically mostly male. But everyone can be caring or aggressive.
Agree that we need more caring leaders.
No they don’t. Canada and Mexico want none of this. They want the president of the United States to respect and abide by the trade treaty he negotiated with them - and not make up bogus pretexts for plunging us all into a gratuitous no win economic debacle.
hey quick question does Goliath win in that story
Thinking of my family, friends, and colleagues in the US.
It's obvious that this 🇺🇸🇨🇦 #tradewar is delusional. But the manufactured crisis may boil over into long lasting tension.
Never forget who the real enemies are — the ones who gain power and popularity by sowing division.
Which DNA polymerase / PCR kit would you recommend to genotype from crude lysates?
This is for heat-lysed cultured mammalian cells right after clone picking.
We need robust on 2-3kb amplicons.
KOD Xtream works amazing but $$$ and backordered
- Thx!! 🧬
There are some weeks in the lab where absolutely nothing works.
And then there are weeks where just one thing works, but it validates all hard work before it.
This week was the latter...and I'm very excited about what happens next!
