Thanks to a discount from Pizza Hut, we should be able to feed 300 hungry undergrad UofG comp sci students tomorrow (in exchange for answering a short survey on health and wellness).
If they had an iota of intelligence, they might aspire to be half-wits. But they don't, and here we are.

Definitely going to try this one in the summer :)
Oooooh. I love date squares. And I just happen to have some dates in the pantry. Thanks for sharing :)
I’m very happy with how they turned out :)
I decided that properly grading the homework I assigned during reading week involved a bit more work on my part :)
If you haven’t seen “Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie” - I highly recommend. Fun, funny, and very very 🇨🇦
The cover of the Lancet says it all.

Dinner tonight - fancy pants shepherd’s pie. Super happy with how this turned out even if the mandolin tried to kill me.
We need better interdisciplinary training in STEM disciplines that doesn't just include social sciences, humanities, and the arts as an "add on" or second thought - but as a fundamental and critical component to STEM training and technological advancement.
Technology developed without diversity of thought and expertise from lived experiences, nor consideration for ethics or the potential harms it might cause, and with only profit in mind, is why we are where we are.
Cinnamon Rolls (A+): the recipe was sent in a chat, so I'm just going to share the recipe I use from the Canadian Living Cookbook (which can be found on page 272 via the Internet Archives)

Hamantaschen (A++):

This got an extra "+" because the student brought some freshly made hamantashen in for everyone to try - in three varieties - lemon, chocolate, and biscoff!
Dolmas (A+): www.themediterraneandish.com/stuffed-grap...
I've never made these, but I have eaten them, and they are delicious.
More homework submissions:
Pumpkin pie (A+): www.recipetineats.com/pumpkin-pie/
Having worked at a bakery (Chudleigh's) for 10+ years, I have made a lot of pumpkin pies in my life. They remain one of my favourite pies - along with strawberry rhubarb, lemon, blueberry, pecan, peach...
Woohoo. Our paper titled “Transferable skills development in university curricula: identifying differences between STEM and BHASE” has been accepted with minor revisions. Stay tuned for more details :)
Obviously I'll share any other recipes of note as I receive them.
Last week was reading week @uofguelph.bsky.social.
As homework, students in my lab had two tasks: 1) rest, and 2) share their favourite recipe.
Just received the first homework submission - double chocolate oatmeal cookies.
A+ work right here, folks.

Stay safe!
Nevertheless, proud of Team Canada, from coast to coast to coast. 🇨🇦
Woohoo
Rogue state and easily the biggest threat to the rest of the world.
Boo fucking hoo.
OMG.
Screenshot of a text message that says I’ve sent you both an invite for family day reoccurring forever
We had a meeting scheduled for today

Of the $6.4B announced for Ontario PSE yesterday, 45% or so was just taking $ out of SFA and handing it to institutions.
Another chunk of $, maybe as high as $3B (unclear) involved taking $ announced in '24 and '25 & putting it into the base out to 2029-30
Actual new $ over 2025-26 base? $0-2B.
Honestly, I don’t care. I’ll continue to buy local and avoid travelling to the US.

I'm just going to leave this here without further comment...
