Perhaps a late Xmas/Chanukah/Festivus/Kwanzaa present for some research hot shot currently not in Canada but who might like to move here - the new Impact+ Research Chairs. Note the strategic areas in Arctic, environment, climate resilience and water security. 🧪⚒️

Fix indoor air pollution and poor ventilation! I often measure CO2 of 2,500 ppm due to poor ventilation in buildings and airplanes. At this level, COVID spreads easily, and brains suffer: test scores can drop 44%. Suggestions: invest in HEPA filtration, ditch your gas stove, improve ventilation.

Trump admin issues stop-work order on all five U.S. offshore wind farms under construction, citing “national security” reasons.
Doubtful this holds up in court. A judge already found a previous stop work order on Revolution Wind for this reason lacked “factual findings.” Still — it’s a big move.
