HHS Secretary RFK Jr is proposing banning NIH-funded researchers from publishing in top-tier journals, including JAMA and Lancet.

This is bonkers for all sorts of reasons, but let me just mention one. He points out that Lancet has retracted articles. This is factually correct, but it's a reason […]

Best Canadian registered charity for ocean conservation?

Recently watched https://intl.oceanfilm.net and feel inspired to donate.

The movie is a recommendation BTW. I learned a lot about ocean conservation, even if some of it is painful to watch (incredible footage of bottom trawling)

This video on European sovereignty in the face of Trump and Putin is way better than it should be (and also made me a fan of France).

How great is that?

Great news from the @sovtechfund - the German gov agency for #sovereigntech invests 384.000 euro in #openstreetmap. This is the Wikipedia of the maps and the basis for so many mapping and navigation tools.

Well done. So much needed to leave bigtech surveillance tech.

The best thing about the new ViaRail trainsets is that they have a bottle refill station (in car 5).

How cool is that?

I will forever be haunted by this footage.

Trawling has only been filmed underwater a few times in documentary history, and never with such clarity.

What’s so heart-rending about these shots is watching how the animals don’t just get swept up — they swim for their lives.
