Having been part of scientific research councils in Canada, the UK, the US, and Mexico, I consider the NSF to be hands down the most rigorous, fair, and impactful agency. It is now being dismantled, which is a catastrophy for global science. This is serious folks.

Congratulations to #silvascience alumn Dr Esteban Rojas Gatjens who was a finalist for the Division of Chemical Physics Justin Junkas Doctoral Dissertation Award of the American Physical Society. His PhD thesis on nonlinear coherent spectroscopy of 2D metal halides was highly original and impactful.
Of the 6 polls released on Friday, one of them results in a Conservative minority
The other 5 result in Liberal majorities

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

Tied nationally, and tied in Ontario
The race for government is heating up between the Liberals and Conservatives, while the NDP falls flat, losing nearly all of their seats on this run of the model

OK, this is almost funny
Trump is freaking because we are standing up to him.
MAGA is spooked by our hockey slang (seriously).
They ask us to "turn down the rhetoric" but accuse of us being as ungrateful as "Ukraine."
Canada is Ukraine and Trump is a cheap Putin.

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau. For your hard work, for your leadership, and for your great service to our country.
Dear Mr. Jack Daniels,
Canada is your biggest market.
Maybe you should explain this to your legislators who threaten us.
We will take all the steps necessary to defend our nation from a hostile foreign power including filling the shelves with great Canadian whiskey.

French Senator Claude Malhuret:
"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."
Nominate Juan De Dios Robinson for the Moray & Banffshire Heroes Award for his services as volunteer orthopaedic surgeon in Ukraine. His volunteer service has real impact in communities of real need in a war zone, with real personal risk.

Il est essentiel que le Québec et le Canada s’imposent comme des choix évidents pour accueillir l’excellence scientifique. Le gouvernement Legault entrave cette ambition en mettant en place des politiques qui restreignent l’accès aux talents internationaux.

The petition to strip Elon Musk of Canadian citizenship has 168,000 signatures. This grassroots initiative has exploded in just a few days.
Now the UK media are covering it.
Musk is a fascist threat to democracy.
We kicked out Ernst zundel, Musk is just as bad.

Je vous propose une piste de réflexion pour comprendre comment on en est arrivés là, et pour échapper à cet avenir qui se dessine.
Le fascime est en marche et nous avons des choix cruciaux à faire, pour protéger notre démocratie et notre modèle inclusif de société.

Speaking on @meidastouch.bsky.social about what it means when Canadians "go over the boards".
It's a hockey thing: it means incurring major penalties, game misconducts, charges of unsportsmanlike behaviour but the other team will never dare mess with us again.
