Bunch of disgusting traitors. Maybe we can trade them for some decent Americans who are fed up with the smooth-brained MAGA mouth breathers.

LOL! You should take him to see Protest the Hero. They are a great band and a great bunch of guys, but I may be just a bit biased. Also, my parents would never have taken me to see a metal band. LOL!

Happy Stanislav Petrov Day He passed in 2017. As Encyclopedia Britannica puts it, “He is survived by his two children, two grandchildren, and the entire human race.” If you don't know his story, please take 3 minutes now to learn it. @gchalliance.bsky.social @docsforclimate.bsky.social

Mine either. We should be recruiting young scientists who are just wrapping up their postdocs, but we also need to double the CIHR budget (minimally).

They will get their bag of cash then retire or return to the US when they run out of $. It happened before and we still haven't learned.

LOL! The cost of shipping potash from Belarus plus the price of petrol to ship it will really make food cheaper in America, right? One wonders why they are not in the streets protesting daily. 🤦

Big congratulations to Dr. Tony Cheng! Tony did a great job defending his PhD today, which addressed how the CCM3 protein regulates biological tube development.

Authors!🚨 While you scramble for scarce $ 🤔 “Springer Nature reports revenue growth of 6.2%..and adjusted operating profit growth of 7.7%. They reported even more stunning submission growth of 30% and published article growth of 13%.” Publishing in society journals helps YOU not them👇🏻. Pass it on.

BREAKING: The EU Just Made Canada Its First Associate Member. Trump Just Lost Canada, 214k Jobs And A Trillion Dollars.
Canada is the EU's first associate member as of this morning. 4 million barrels a day, 86% of America's potash, half its aluminum and a trillion dollars in GDP say Trump picked the wrong fight.
