The #BrainGain is real for #Canada. Listen to #TimothySynder, Yale expert #historian who left #USA and is now teaching at #UofToronto. He speaks about 75% of educators wanting a similiar move to be a reality. #cdnpoli

- There's no senate or electoral college that can keep unpopular parties in power.
- Higher education is good, cheap and accessible. Few are crushed by student debt like in America. It's not hard to get in either, the entire Ivy League could fit in the freshman class at UofToronto.

Vinod learned a couple of things from the project. First - that he was not a fan of labelling (at least not of doing the labelling himself), and second, the attractions of machine learning. He applied to do a PhD at UofToronto and was accepted by Geoff Hinton.

His reputation at UofToronto has been "a misogynist tankie tosspot masquerading as a thinker" since the late 1980s so apparently that's still an accurate summary lol

When I was doing the same in the UofToronto dept, one of the triggers was “enrollment” vs “enrolment”.

Literal half-hour long discussions.

I was hanging out with friends in Bill Buxton's graphics lab at UofToronto just after that in undergrad.

They went to Alias. I did Internet infrastructure.

But I have always have maintained my interest in computer graphics fundamentals.

Pixar was doing gob smacking things back then.

This was an incredibly exciting project to write! Coming out of a conference in honour of Libby and Tom in November 2019 (organized by #YorkUniversity and the #CRRS at the #UofToronto #earlymodern), I study the movement of a single book between friends, trans. by Theodore Gaza and written for Bussi.

Some Cdn grad programs are now admitting directly to the PhD but it’s less common than in the US. (UofToronto has done this for a long time.)

Sunnybrook is a UofToronto teaching hospital and the biggest hospital in the country. My GP is there and the only reason I keep dealing with the place is that they have all specialties represented and it speeds up referrals.

Same here. Last taught in Fall 2022. Academic misconduct prevention was already sucking up a lot of energy and goodwill at UofToronto. Now I cannot even imagine. Small silver lining: cheating companies and paper mills are now out of business.

Iron deficiency is a critical issue during pregnancy. Oral repletion is inefficient with side effects. Traditional IV is intensive. Mary Morgan (Sunnybrook/ UofToronto) provides compelling data for ferric derisomaltose total dose infusion to treat pregnancy related #IDA #ASH24 #HemeSky

I'd read that blog! Networking is not my area, and I learn stuff about them by reading your blog. (Heh, I was a Computer Neworking course TA at UofToronto in 1990... so I come at it with book learning)
