Thinking about devastating cuts to NSF: US gov-funded science has been the engine upon which most of the tech wealth was generated. But the oligarchs (currently hoarding much of that $) think it’s their own brilliance & not the accident of standing close to the scientific engine that made them rich.

Every now again it’s useful to repeat advice about accessing papers that are behind a paywall that excludes you. Email the author. My estimate is that 90% of academics are so thrilled that a living, breathing, possibly even reading, person shows interest that they will swiftly send you a copy.

Poilievre just wrapped his final press conference of the campaign, in Saskatoon. I went to more of these (13) than any other journalist in Canada, for @nationalobserver.com. Didn’t get a single question. Which meant not one person asked PP about climate policy outside of the debates.

America's NIH budget is 50-fold that of Canada's CIHR budget with less than 10 fold the population size. Cutting NIH funding by half keeps the US biomedical system better funded than the Canadian one. Not sure how Canada could fund more top scientists without defunding the ones already in Canada.

When asked if he was a Canadian Trump, Poilievre’s ONLY response was that he was not raised in a rich family. This is clear enough I think. ici.radio-canada.ca/tele/tout-le...

L’opinion de Paul Krugman, économiste et ex-chroniqueur au NYT, qui a maintenant son infolettre. Selon lui, les tarifs de Trump contre le Canada n’ont aucune logique, vont faire mal aux Américains, et est motivé par une haine de ce que représente le Canada (et pas lui): la décence, la dignité.

As canadians, we can't do much about what is happening below the border. However, we should mobilize right now to make sure we resist the anti-science, anti-diversity, anti-progress and highly divisive winds blowing towards us. The next canadian election cannot be solely abount balancing the budget
