Canada hospital network aims to attract top scientists
In what some observers are calling an 'impressive' move, the University Health Network (UHN) in Toronto is launching a first-of-its-kind Canadian program to recruit 100 early career scientists, many from an emerging exodus of researchers from the U.S.

A reminder to reporters: Because Trump tariff numbers are made-up nonsense, using the phrase “reciprocal tariffs” is lying to your audience. The phrase itself is propaganda. They are not reciprocal.

Just send a little text - easy peasy.
Distracted driving is a major issue. Yesterday an injured cyclist told us the driver who hit them said "I didn't see you", when they were there to be seen. We'd love to see automated enforcement like in Australia that tickets drivers on their phones.

What was once a right of passage for teenagers across America, obtaining a drivers license in high school, is now viewed with far less zeal today by Generation Z. That's the takeaway from recent data released by the Federal Highway Administration which showed that only 25% of American 16-year olds obtained their drivers license in 2023, down from 43% in 1997.This data may be bad news for the big auto makers but should serve as further guidance to planners and home builders looking at trends for

Implicit in a lot of anti-vaccination and anti-public health narratives like those of RFK Jr is a deep disgust/fear of disability; but also an unspoken hope that unchecked disease will "cull" the population of "weaker/less fit" people.

The truck used in the New Orleans terrorist attack is a Ford F-150 Lightning, which is perfectly designed for this kind of attack.
It weighs more than 6000 lbs, accelerates to 60 mph in just 4 seconds, and the battering-ram-shaped front is nearly 5 feet tall. Deadly by design.
