On the off-hours: pottery, knitting, all-weather cycling, & the embarrassment and enjoyment of learning a new language as an adult!

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Don't make her life be about the DNA debacle. She died far too young, but she was a promising scientist in her own right, a mentor and scientific author.
Not for Watson or Crick, but for her legacy.
mourn the collective loss of genius of folks who were actively discouraged or disadvantaged from a career in science because of the same person(s)

The urbanist Projet Montréal party of outgoing mayor Valérie Plante has lost the election to the opposition Ensemble Montréal.
Projet deserves a *lot* of credit for Montreal’s transformation in the past 10 or 15 years to be more bike/pedestrian-friendly.

As we head into #wintercycling season, what are your tried and true tips that help you keep pedaling throughout the frigid season?
What advice would you offer newbies? #yycbike #yegbike #biketo #ottbike #bikehfx #bikeyvr
Also, it’s not all or nothing. Biking some days is better than not at all. You don’t *have* to bike on the really awful weather days.

Adaptation is harm reduction for climate impacts that can no longer be avoided. Climate justice demands it. AND it has limits, becoming less effective and more costly as warming proceeds.

People overlook Windsor (a city of cars and industry), but the nature here is truly incredible.

They shared videos and photos.
It was…crushing. I can’t find the words to tell you how harrowing and devastating their testimony was.
They, and their Palestinian colleagues, are heroes.

So much of what we’re fighting over is relatively new. No surprise people still don’t really understand it yet.

Please stop coming into my mentions telling me how how every subatomic particle in Gaza is Hamas. It's tired, it's evil, and it's pointless. I'm not going to argue with you. You're just wrong.
