Ok, I don't normally share stuff like this, but this is hilariously bad........ be afraid for future scientific literacy.

I had a sudden craving for the Roxy's grilled cheese truck. Those of you in Boston might know what I mean. It's funny, when I was a PhD student and post-doc, life seemed stressful, but I look back on the simplicity of those times (albeit with a lot more security) with fondness.

Here's a style of science that scarcely exists any more. No hype, careful studies, a mastery of several different techniques, picking a problem because it's interesting, not because it's a solution to something else. We are all the poorer for its demise: cdnsciencepub.com/doi/epdf/10.11…

I've had NIN's "Hesitation Marks" since it was released 12 years ago. I really dislike listening to recordings of people talking, so I'd always skipped over the "Trent Reznor in Conversation" piece. TIL some of his unfinished songs (good) are interspersed in the interview 🤣

If Nova Scotia manages to avoid having a major wildfire despite the extremely dry conditions, those screaming at us now will say this is proof the restrictions weren't needed. If we do burn, those same people will say this is proof that the restrictions don't work.

I guess I'm lucky in that I've asked an AI platform to summarize my field, and it keeps on getting my name incorrect. Good to keep me humble.

History-changing day for labour relations at Dalhousie University - lockout of faculty could begin as early as Wed morning. Rest assured, DFA members are ready for what is about to happen. #keepdalstrong DalStudentUnion ANSUT
