Moth Night 2025: Mothing but the Best - a great article on moth night, hosted by friend and colleague Prof Sarah Jamieson whose limited term appointment was not renewed by Trent due to “budget cuts”. The article elaborates on that as well.

Thank you to NSERC for funding our RTI grant. We will now be able to purchase a desperately needed flow cytometer! Shoutout to my co applicants on the grant, Profs Robertson, Yee and Xenopoulos.

Scientists hide messages in papers to game AI peer review
Some studies containing instructions in white text or small font — visible only to machines — will be withdrawn from preprint servers.

Ever thawed a vial of cells (C2C12 cells), had them attach and look just fine, but then after 1 passage they don’t attach and those that do gradually die? We can’t figure it out….tried new reagents already.

Anyone have experience with the bioseb vs Columbus grip strength meters? The quotes are quite different.

Two great in person talks at Trent yesterday: Western Prof Samantha Gateman on corrosion (including corrosion of copper intrauterine devices) and Laurier Prof Erin Leonard on a mix of projects related to carotid bodies, leptin, antidepressants and the effects on fish physiology!

A rite of passage: first cihr project grant done and results back! (Thank you to the reviewers for the helpful comments.) The RiT program certainly helped give me a sense of how things shake out but having a hard time interpreting the NOR.
