Shot from ground level, a round ceiling mural that echoed Metis embroidery. On a black background, we see a wild rose in tjr centre, surrounded by flowers, berries, birds and butterflies.

The mural in context - on the ceiling, surrounded by lights and blond wood ceiling tiles. It hangs above the soaring atrium of the University Commons

I was on the @ualberta.bsky.social campus today for the unveiling of this remarkable art installation by Metis painter Christi Belcourt. It’s called In My Grandmother’s Time, and it blends traditional motifs from Metis beading and embroidery with digital technology. And it’s gorgeous. #ualberta #yeg

A photo from behind the scenes on filming Revenge of the Sith. Against a bluescreen backdrop, George Lucas snarls and raises his hands to the sky, as Ian McDiarmid in full costume as Palpatine, does similarly in the background.

can't believe we're really getting the taxation of trade routes being in dispute *and* a blockade of deadly battleships

ooops I forgot rule of law and international law, or just decency. 🤭

Even if you take away the cruelty, the deaths, the violence, the attacks on science, health and environment, the inequalities, and the corruption, it would be one of the most funny chapters in the history of humanity 👌

A large, ring-shaped Lucrehulk-class droid control ship orbits the green and blue planet Naboo, surrounded by several smaller Vulture droids in the dark expanse of space.

In response to the Trade Federation's blockade of Naboo, the Republic announces a blockade of Naboo.

A message from Tuna Acisu asking for help maintaining cherry blossom record in Kyoto Japan.

A figure showing the cherry tree record since 812 from world in data.

A 1200+ year climate record is at risk. Do you know know anyone in Japan who could help? See below.

Just a reminder that we can fund science, and save the earth, and feed everyone, and have health care and housing too.

All those things are within our reach, together.

We should be grateful for our atmosphere

Insane.

efore going to sleep on flight day 5, the Artemis II crew snapped one more photo of the Moon, as it drew close in the window of the Orion spacecraft. Orion and the four humans aboard entered the lunar sphere of influence at 12:37 a.m. EDT on April 6, at the tail end of the fifth day of their mission. That marked the point at which the Moon's gravity had a stronger pull on the spacecraft than the Earth's. Artemis II's closet approach to the Moon will come on flight day 6, as they swing around the far side before beginning their journey back to Earth. About an hour after entering the lunar sphere of influence, Artemis II Mission Specialist Christina Koch said, "We are now falling to the Moon rather than rising away from Earth. It is an amazing milestone!"

It is astonishing that humans are able to do these things. This is what happens when we act collectively to solve extremely difficult technical problems. (It works with many other kinds of problems, too.)

You can follow Artemis II's encounter with the Moon starting at 1pm EDT. 🧪🔭

Astronaut Jeremy Hansen is taking Indigenous culture past the Moon: his mission patch was designed by Henry Guimond, an Anishinaabe artist, incorporating one Indigenous perspective about the seven sacred laws, which are represented by animals.

Stephen Lewis, former Ontario NDP leader and global AIDS advocate, dies at 88 Lewis died in hospital Tuesday after battle with cancer

One thing Stephen Lewis shared with Avi was fierce moral clarity. He made the world a much better, more compassionate place.

Avi Lewis: "We have shoved Canada Post so far into the market mindset that every few months we have a national conversation about why isn't Canada Post making money. Does the ambulance service make money? Do the police services make money? We're talking about a fundamental public service."

If Fossil Fuels Are War, Renewables Can Bring Peace On one side of the world the US and Israel are pursuing an ill-conceived attack on Iran that has hugely impacted the flow of fossil fuel in the region. This is already having a grim impact on daily li...

"The war and the Iranian blockade of the Strait of Hormuz are pushing more people to recognize that fossil fuel is politically as well as environmentally devastating."

As the world scrambles with another energy crisis, Edmonton is looking pretty good IMO.

It’s never been more important for scientists to break out of the ivory tower and engage with the public.

I am excited to announce that I’m now booking professional development workshops focusing on public science engagement for summer and fall 2026!

Underwater view of a large humpback whale swimming gracefully in deep blue water, with its prominent pectoral fin and body partially illuminated by sunlight filtering through the surface.

A humpback whale's bumpy head emerges from the water, with droplets cascading off the surface in a gentle splash. The surrounding ocean appears calm and reflective.

A vintage Gray Audograph dictation machine sits on a wooden surface in a storage area. It features a knob on the front and the words "Record" and "Listen" on the top. The background includes shelving and ceiling fixtures out of focus.

Digitization of audio discs from the WHOI archives labeled with that phrase, along with things like ‘fish noise’ and ‘grunts,’ revealed the oldest preserved whale song!

I think it’s cool that some people focus on curing disease and some people focus on understanding what animals are up to and some people think about our place in the universe and how things came to be the way they are. People are driven by curiosity and I promise you you don’t want it any other way
