Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

Happy to announce my paper about the Decameron Collective is in the Imaginations Special Issue on research creation, edited by Josh Synenko and Agata Mer: imaginationsjournal.ca/index.php/im...

I continue to be blown away by the sub-cellular resolution that our new #Nanolive 3D explorer allows. Look at these #microglia go!

Can we all PLEASE take a moment to acknowledge that the new forbidden words include female, females, woman, and women which describe about half the population. But of course the words male or men are still allowed. Am I to understand that this is a direct attempt to defeud women's health research?

Dr. Raj Pannu was one of the best. 🧡 From the first time I met him, I was struck by his kindness, his warmth, and his quiet leadership. Rest in Power, Raj. And Raj Against the Machine, forever ✊

Raj Pannu is known to all who met him as a tireless advocate for a better Alberta. As Leader, his "Raj Against the Machine" campaign didn’t just give us a great slogan—it created a legacy and inspired a movement that lives on. My thoughts are with his loved ones today.

I wrote about UNION, the gripping and much-needed documentary about the Amazon Labor Union, and why it hasn't gotten a distribution deal (spoiler: Bezos has too much money/power). You can stream it on Gathr this weekend and you should! slate.com/culture/2024...
