Poppies are a symbol of remembrance on Armistice Day. Did you know that some poppies are also the source of powerful opioid painkillers?

me watching any movie: that's Frankenstein.
but I do seriously believe that the underlying story of most super soldier (and lady assassin) movies is Frankenstein. and this scene where Todd 3465 wistfully watches a loving family at a Christmas party... that is absolutely Frankenstein

I would love to know what university leaders say to politicians behind closed doors, because "asbestos is falling on our students' heads and we can't afford to change lightbulbs" doesn't seem to be what they are hearing.
“Canada is the best place to live, and top talent from around the world want to come here because they see opportunities and possibilities to contribute to cutting-edge research”...
...he says while allocating $1.7B to bribe people to move here and cutting grant funding. Unbelievable.

Canada makes pitch for US researchers to relocate with $1.7bn in new funding. My story for @science.org 🧪

Some Overton-Window–ass shit hitting our country. We opted for the less-dickhead conservative, which used to be just a regular conservative.
Here's the biggest PSE story you haven't heard yet: the Canada Student Grant for low-income students is being cut from $4200/year to $3000/year as of next August. It's implicit in the budget tables but the government is too chickenshit to actually say so directly.

Forcing funders to betray reviewers and applicants by disclosing disaggregated personal and confidential information serves no legitimate purpose. This is an abuse of parliamentary authority that will deeply undermine Canadian science.
I encourage you to contact your MP, the Minister of Health, and your institution. This has already been bulldozed through with a 15 day requirement to meet the request. Watching politicians vandalize scientific institutions is distressing enough next door, let's not start here.
