Why learn to code when you can use an LLM and pay a subscription fee for the rest of your life.
This GOOD BOY ran onto the course during the Women’s Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint event, crossing the finish line and being automatically recorded by OMEGA’s photofinish camera 😆
One on left is a black dog and above it the words “Reality”. Below it is “I chased a squirrel” One the right is a black dog and above it says “LinkedIn”. Below it says, Proud to announce that I effectively executed a rapid-response squirrel displacement strategy to mitigate potential yard intrusions. Humbled by the unwavering support of my family and local stakeholders. This experience reinforced the importance of vigilance, ownership, and continuous improvement. Looking forward to scaling this impact in future engagements.

Let's build a technology so powerful it can end civilization, but don't worry, we'll run it in a sandbox we vibe coded so it can't read your email.
As great powers abandon rules and values for their own interests, middle powers like Canada have a choice: compete with each other for favour or act together with impact.
The reflection of the lit up Eiffel Tower at night on a rain water puddle.
After the rain... la tour.

A view of Paris, France from the Centre Pompidou shows the Eiffel Tower in the background, the Louvre museum in the foreground and other Paris landmarks on a cloudy day. The clouds cover the tip of the Eiffel Tower. The photo has a vintage style, almost like a black & white movie. There are two watemarks: one with the name of the author and the other indicating the picture was shot on Christmas Day 2024.
Remembering my visit to France over the Christmas season last year. This photo was taken from the Centre Pompidou on Christmas Day 2024. The Louvre and the Eiffel Tower looking mysterious on a cloudy day. 🇫🇷🎄☁️ #paris #france #travelphotography
Southern Alberta’s 20+ years of low vaccination uptake coming home to roost.
There was a measles outbreak down here when my 14yo was a baby and his brother, at 2ish, was in daycare.
I lived in fear until I could get that baby vaccinated.
This is so much worse.
So true. So true.

Nearly 35 years ago, Paul Ginsparg created arXiv, a digital repository for sharing research. It changed science for good.
Three decades in, Ginsparg reflects on its legacy—and its future.

☀️🏡 Rooftop solar could cut emissions enough to help keep warming below 1.5°C. A new study highlights its global potential, especially in Africa, Asia, and North America. Scaling up is critical.
Even just looking at images of nature changes our brain and can reduce physical pain, a new study by @maxsteininger.bsky.social and colleagues finds!
Academia does an abysmal job of communicating to scholars their professional worth outside it, which I think is a feature and not a bug.

RefSeq's CheckM results for GCF_047361035.1, showing 97.99% completeness and 0.39% contamination.
A quick reminder: if CheckM reports an assembly as <100% complete and >0% contaminated, that doesn't necessarily mean it's incomplete or contaminated. Here are RefSeq's CheckM results for a genome I'm confident is 100% complete and 0% contaminated.
Your lab scissors are actually a parafilmase - a highly specialized enzyme that catalyzes the precise cutting of parafilm through a metal-dependent mechanism

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!
Countries should be investing more money in science, not less. It’s pretty clear that many young minds will not be interested in becoming scientists if the salaries are not good and the future of this occupation is not certain.
This NIRCam image reveals a rich field of galaxies in the distant universe, potentially including the Hercules Cluster. Various galaxy shapes and colors are visible, indicating a diverse range of distances and ages. The image provides a glimpse into the distribution and evolution of galaxies across cosmic time, showcasing a tapestry of galaxies, some with distinct spiral structures, others appearing as faint, diffuse objects. The varying colors suggest different stellar populations and redshifts within this deep field observation, offering a window into the early universe.
