Building Anew: Ephemerality and the Igluvigaq (Igloo)
Snow architecture enabled Inuit placemaking, memory, and renewal, while Europeans misread its ephemerality to erase Indigenous history and justify imperial claims.

Here is another example where scientists have generated systemic immunity against human papilloma virus using nasal delivery of a cationic nanogel containing the HPV16 E7 protein as an antigen. In addition, an anti-tumor effect was seen. Game-changing!

Some good news on the bat conservation front. It's my understanding that our little brown #bat here in #NS is increasing at about 2% a year from their crash 10 or so years ago.
The extraordinary benefits to which human ingenuity and inquiry can be put - probiotic treatment boosts bat survival from white-nose syndrome, a catastrophic fungal infection. Just as pro-biotics balance your tum, so they balance a bat's chance at life. Thanks for this incredible work, WCS!
🦇ICYMI: a great video on our work developing a "probiotic" to help bats survive white-nose syndrome infections. This beautifully shot video also gives a good primer on what the probiotic is all about. This was 2yrs ago -good news...our studies show the probiotic is working!

Don't get me wrong a war would be very costly. But if it came to war, it would be short, violent and mean the annihilation of Canada as an independent country.
