Here’s for a happy winter break for those who had 10+ things on their December list “to finish *absolutely* before the break”, and were able to bring it down to 8+ tonight…. (That is: if we consider an all-nighter to still be part of tonight …. Otherwize: 9+…). #Happy-end-of-2025!! 🥂

Great piece on housing, very relevant to #nbpoli and #cdnpoli given the rise of investment-owners (the great housing grab) and the growing affordability crisis. Plenty of suggestions for provincial and municipal leaders.

While the country’s capital is loosening regulations, the Catalan city is strengthening social housing. Their outcomes will affect all our futures, says author and researcher Jaime Palomera

Wonderful lecture by Dr. Tomoya Shiota from Osaka University to the QuNB group. Impressive progress on how to combine #compchem data from seemingly disjoint datasets (inorganic vs organic) and how to make them work together in a transparent ML framework. (1/2)

The flex to go into a pagelong “clarification” to the reviewer, but then change nothing to your manuscript, will never cease to bewilder me….
