Thanks for sharing your book-sounds interesting.
Any plans for an audiobook? Or is this more textbook-y format and not really compatible with audio?

Newly introduced legislation in Ontario will abolish the Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario, and absorbing into the ministry. This is another in a long line of decisions to destroy the autonomy of university in Ontario and place them under greater and more direct government control.

I have a lot of frustrations with the tech industry but perhaps the biggest one is that they're constantly pushing every new fad as "the inevitable future".

It's always, "adopt this, buy that, or you'll be left behind."

This worked in the smart phone launch era but it hasn't worked for awhile now.

🙈 Ontario's Bill 97 is an attempt to FULLY EXEMPT @FordNation & all of his underlings from Freedom of Information.

It asks Ontarians to trust a system they can't verify.

Harsh truths galvanize better laws.
They prevent misery & save lives.

we don’t want this AI.
Listen to the experts (yes including those of us who are scientists & in higher ed) & your constituents.
This all-in-for-AI serves no one but private corporations. Certainly not Canadians & their values.

Embryo fossil found in South Africa is world’s oldest proof that mammal ancestors laid eggs A detailed scan of a fossil therapsid embryo reveals the oldest egg belonging to a mammalian ancestor.

Embryo fossil…oldest proof that mammal ancestors laid eggs

“Our ability to identify the fossil egg adds to our understanding of the origin of mammalian reproductive biology and lactation, and the survival strategy of Lystrosaurus”

🔥Scarey data

Women — and women’s health — matter!

Look what happens when people think they don’t/it doesn’t.

Women’s rights are human rights—and this includes access to healthcare.

IL-22 from enteroendocrine cells promotes early-life gut motility in zebrafish through the microbiota The gut microbiota, immune system, and enteric nervous system interact to regulate adult gut physiology. However, the mechanisms establishing gut physiology during development remain unknown. We repor...

Very happy to share this study from our group and colleagues now out in Science!
We found that in zebrafish, before the immune system is mature, gut epithelial cells perform immune functions by producing the cytokine IL-22 to shape the microbiota to promote early life gut function

Bottom left: The Amazing Story of Jane Goodall — Jane Goodall in a green shirt kneels in a lush jungle, gently interacting with a chimpanzee.

Bottom right: The Doctor with an Eye for Eyes — close-up of Dr. Patricia Bath, a Black woman with dark hair, holding an eye-examination device against a purple background decorated with cartoon eyes.

Babies have very little vitamin K in their first months of life.
Before doctors started routinely giving vitamin K shots to newborns in 1961, up to one in 60 babies developed serious bleeding (including the brain) due to a vitamin K deficiency. This is just a vitamin, not a vaccine.

Why is a 20-year-old study "still under fire"?

Because:

- it was wrong
- the lead author lied to conceal it
- millions of women and infants were harmed
- other death investigations were misled
- when shown this, major institutions looked away
