I've had a new paper published on shipping collisions with North Atlantic #rightwhale, based on analysis of strikes on several whale species.

If you teach research methods and haven’t considered it, I suggest including material on the impact of data centers. I scheduled the topic under the section on research ethics.

Okay so why was I the only one in the theater tonight who gasped when Ryan Gosling ran a centrifuge with two tubes in the whole thing, sitting right next to each other? Sorry was I the only scientist in the film society theater tonight??

Having non-politicized career experts in the civil service, instead of political sycophants who don't know anything about the issues they working on, may seem like an abstract issue

But doing it the way we do it makes your life better, and the Trump/Project 2025 proposal would make your life worse

I have nothing but love for my friends and colleagues in science that are pursuing jobs overseas, but I hate hate hate the pervasive idea that academics and scientists aren't part of our communities and can just be shuffled around from institute to institute.

In #Iowa City, buses have been #fare-free since August 2023 and the results are impressive; ridership jumped, driving dropped by 1.8 million miles. 🚍🌍 The city council has now extended the pilot program after seeing faster boardings, fewer cars on the road. 🔄💨

Why create two full stable isotope courses?

Because more and more people rely on isotopes — but very few get proper training in how to design studies, interpret data, or use tools like simmr or MixSIAR with confidence.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.

The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.

Why?

It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Stoked to see @tommorelloofficial.bsky.social tonight in Saint John! His music and message seems so fitting for a city and province that has been subject to the Irvings and had to struggle against an anti-union, anti-mutual aid, extractivist agenda for so long. Hope tonight is inspiring for all!

We're concerned about the SRSR motion requesting 25 years of disaggregated tri-council data. While we understand the data is intended to be anonymized, this wasn't explicitly stated in the motion – and the specific information requested could still enable re-identification when linked together.

In New Brunswick, seclusion rooms are used instead of intensive care units because of inadequate healthcare funding—this is what happens when ‘public safety funding’ is prioritized over collective community care.
