Turns out that Timewave Zero by #BloodIncantation was the perfect choice to enjoy with a Sunday morning coffee. Unlike their follow-up album, which sounds like a death metal version of Pink Floyd, this album is pure ambient spacey music, no guitars or vocals. Lots of "Boards of Canada" vibes!

Kiitos for the great show last night in Calgary @wheel-band.bsky.social

Looking forward to seeing @wheel-band.bsky.social at their Calgary show tomorrow. 🇨🇦❤️🇬🇧🇫🇮

Tonight, it is the 2025 Juno award winning album by Vancouver's #Anciients. "Beyond the Reach of the Sun" is beautifully crafted with hints of mid-2000's Opeth.

Shout out to the journal #Neuroscience. What is more amazing than less than 2 months from initial submission to acceptance of a revised manuscript? Proofs being ready less than 12 hour after acceptance!

Great article about the contributions of Michel Siffre to the field of Chronobiology. He wasn't the first person to stay in a cave for sleep science, Kleitman and Richardson spent a month in Mammoth Cave in 1938. www.iflscience.com/the-man-who-...

Tonight is the 2002 album Reroute to Remain by 🇸🇪 band #InFlames, one of the pioneers of the Gothenburg melodic DM style. I'm looking forward to seeing them play live with #LacunaCoil in May.

Happy Pi day to all my science friends! What's your favorite type of pie? With my Nova Scotia roots, apple holds a special place in my heart.

It's world sleep day! Learn more about your sleep by taking this mini week-long sleep course from the Canadian Sleep Consortium www.researchsleep.ca/week-for-bet...

Amidst the Ruins is the newest album from Scotland's #Saor. Beautiful Celtic black metal. Traditional folk instrumentation blended with the black metal aesthetic makes you feel like you're standing in the mist-covered Scottish moors. Best enjoyed with a wee dram 🥃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Easy choice, Canada. #cdnpoli #MarkCarney #cdnpolitics #Canada #PrimeMinister

Nice to glimpse the Northen lights from our house. Starting tomorrow I'll need to stay up an hour later to see them ... another reason to dislike #DST

No transgendered mice in my lab, but I do have transgenic mice. The one in the picture express a transgene to make NPY cells in the brain glow green ... and they look #fabulous 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ If you want to know more about why mice like this help medical science, I'd love to tell you more!

The world is a better place with bands like #Illumishade. Saw them live last year and got them to sign a copy of their "Another Side of You". Illumishade started as a masters project for Fabienne Erni (Eluveitie). They liked the art they created and decided to give it life after earning her degree

Do you really hate the “spring forward” time change? Read this thread to learn why, and to learn why DST in the winter would be even worse 1/10

With the spring forward clock change just around the corner, here's a great resource for those wanting to understand the how to maximize sleep health and to understand the consequences of the various clocks we follow www.researchsleep.ca/time-change

Picked up a signed copy of the new #Apocalyptica album at their show last night. The amazing art that comes from three talented and classically trained cellists🎻🎻🎻 interpreting Metallica's music. Tämä suomalainen bandi svengaa kuin hirvi!🇫🇮

A little Canadian rock tonight with Victor, the solo album from #AlexLifeson, the guitarist from #Rush. I still need to spend more time with his newer post-Rush music #EnvyOfNone

Tonight, it's Heavener from #InventAnimate, a fantastic progressive metalcore band out of Texas. Saw them open up for #Northlane last year. Amazing range, from intense and soaring walls of sound to quiet melodic moments. So much energy!

Spiritual Instinct from #Alcest. Beautiful sonic textures, lots of emotional depth. I'd say it was one of their best albums, but honestly, all their music is so good and impossible to rank.

Flag Day in #Canada. Time to watch some Canada vs USA hockey. And if you've never been here, come for a visit ... we'll go out for doughnuts 😋 🍩 🇨🇦

While I wait for their sleep-themed new album, I thought I'd take a trip into the past with Metropolis Pat II, Scenes from a Memory from #DreamTheater.

Sunday always feels like a perfect day for jazz, so tonight is "Stranger Heads Prevail" by #ThankYouScientist. Unique jazz-infused prog metal. Trumpets, sax, violins, even a theramin in there somewhere.

One of my absolute favorite #Insomnium albums "Heart Like a Grave". It was one of my gateway album into Finnish MDM. Nice to get a signed copy from them when I saw them in Vancouver.

Still one of my all-time favorite albums "Operation: Mindcrime" from #Queensrÿche. Amazing how the scathing social commentary is as relevant today as it was when it came out 37 years ago. Solid songwriting throughout.

If you're a fan of classic 70's #Rush, check out Canadian duo of #CrownLands. Amazing what they can pull off as a pair.
