mRNA vaccines continue to show major promise.

In a small Phase 1 trial led by Dr. Balachandran, some patients with pancreatic cancer (one of the deadliest cancers) reached 6-year survival.

This is why sustained investment in science & research matters.

Dore's illustration of Moses coming off the mountain with the Ten Commandments; it has been modified. It has been hand tinted. Moses' head has been replaced with Mark Zuckerberg's metaverse avatar's head. The Tiktok logo appears in the bottom left corner of the stone tablets.

Mark Zuckerberg has a problem with your friends: they're the reason you signed up to use his platform, but they stubbornly refuse to organize your socialization to "maximize engagement." Every time you and your friends wrap up a social interaction and log off, Zuckerberg loses revenue.

France is switching from Microsoft to Linux

"We must become less reliant on American tools and regain control of our digital destiny. We can no longer accept that our data, our infrastructure, our strategic decisions depend on solutions whose rules, pricing, evolution, and risks we do not control."

So neat seeing nature reclaim it.

A narrow, winding path leads into a dense forest during sunrise. Brilliant, warm golden sunbeams stream through the tall tree trunks and a light morning mist, creating a luminous glow in the center of the woods. The foreground and the large trees framing the path are in deep shadow, providing a sharp contrast to the light-filled background. Lush green foliage and the leaves of the canopy are highlighted where the morning light touches them.

Chasing sunbeams. Come with me into the woods ☀️🌳💚🤍

So beautiful. 🐝🐝🐝

Cherry blossoms in Japan.

Painting of a person with short blond curly hair, a short dark beard, piercings over thier lip, ear lobe and ear cartilage, wearing a bright red sweatshirt with two black stripes and one white one. They are full color with an arm resting on a doorway. They are looking back sadly at a black and white scene of a house with all windows lit up except one as if a memory.

Not a repost today. Finished this piece yesterday. Oil paint on canvas.

Stunning Photography

A woman in profile wears a shimmering, reflective chainmail garment adorned with numerous triangular mirror-like pieces, draped across her lower torso and back. Her long, dark, wavy hair cascades over her shoulders. A tattoo is visible on her left side. The background is a mottled, textured brown backdrop.

Humpback whales perform an incredible bubble feeding spectacle right in front of a lodge in Canada. Witnessing this behavior is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

A woman with long hair poses on a fur rug, wearing a colourful chainmaille bikini against a textured reddish-brown backdrop. They are front-down on the rug and raised up on their hands, one leg bent with the foot pointed up, looking over their shoulder to camera right, with their hips turned slightly toward the camera.

Two studio portraits of a woman in a body suit constructed from black and pink tape against a textured, dark background. On the left, she is facing forward with her mouth open, hands raised to her curly brown hair, and her body is angled to the side. On the right, she is shown from the back, turned to face the viewer with one hand on her hip and the other touching her chest, her body also angled. She is wearing black high-heeled shoes.

Cover of "The mushroom color atlas: A guide to dyes and pigments made from fungi" byJulie Beetler. Squares of reds, oranges, yellows, greens, blues and purples linr the bottom of the cover. Colourful mushrooms from which the colours were made covers the top.

How to make dye, pigment, and paint from mushrooms. How to identify those mushrooms. What those dyes look like. Also a very pretty book. #booksky #fungi

Resharing in case anyone has leads.

My family doctor is leaving their practice in July, and I’ll be losing my primary care provider.

I’m on the waitlist, but as someone with more than one chronic illness, this is stressful.

If you know of any Halifax doctors accepting new patients, let me know!

Scientific Shot of a Peacock mantis shrimp eyes which are the most advanced in the animal world. Photo by Daniel Sasse.

the mantis shrimp has 16 types of color receptors.

humans have 3.

we see roughly 10 million colors and think that's impressive.

the mantis shrimp is sitting there processing a visual reality so hyperchromatic that scientists genuinely aren't sure what it's like to be one.

Home schooling science lesson went really well this week.
