Just got mine. Totally expected, but it still sucks. Probably the most for all the work that so many of us put in on behalf of US taxpayers that is now wasted and will never come to fruition.

All NIDA F31 diversity scholars officially losing their funding... I barely have words. Expected at this point but so so disappointing and unfair. We are effectively punishing some of America's best science students for telling the government they are from an underrepresented community.

So, if you're just waking up... Mark Carney is PM About 12 seats are too close to call These seats will determine if it's a Liberal Majority or Minority The high numbers of advanced voting is part of the reason we're waiting on results

The Australian polling (our election is this Saturday) shows a similar trend, albeit a little bit less extreme. Blue is conservative as well here, we had about a year of the conservative party winning by 6-7 points, now polling puts it at losing by about the same margin. The Trump effect!

With all sincerity, Elections Canada is a national treasure. - Voting typically takes less than 15 minutes - We make it easy for citizens to vote, without cumbersome registration hurdles - We have every reason to trust that ballots will be counted fairly, and results reported swiftly

Made a contribution just now to Filipino BC & The Filipino Centre. If you're moved to do likewise in solidarity with the Filipino community in the wake of last night's mass murder, donations can be received at the following link:

At this juncture I’d like to point out: * we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing * there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world * a united approach could stop the climate crisis But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

A break from my regularly scheduled political and legal posting to express some gratitude. This week, my 18 month old daughter had to have open heart surgery. 💔 As you might imagine, this was utterly terrifying. 1/

This has never been about efficiency. The NIH is a remarkably efficient organization. No, this has all been about destroying our investment in science and academia.

I didn’t get very much done today (from my list of “things I’d pushed off to maybe do Monday”) but I did bike to the advance polls and vote! I also managed a spool drop, aerial inversions and a back dive in #aerials class tonight, which for me is a lot. Collapsing now. 😅

the point of nostalgia is not to pine for what doesn’t exist anymore, nostalgia is there to remind us that we have experienced beautiful moments of life in the past and we can pour ourselves into building new possibilities to experience similar feelings in the much different world we live in now

Can confirm that my NSF grant "How False Beliefs Form & How to Correct Them" was cancelled today because it is "not in alignment with current NSF priorities" Shocking that understanding how people are misled by false information is now a forbidden topic. Our work will continue but at a smaller scale
