Sad news for @TrentUniversity, @TrentWQC and the #MassSpec community with the passing of Dr. Ray March. A giant in the world of ion-trap mass spectrometry and one of the of the founders of the Water Quality Centre; he will be missed. arbormemorial.ca/en/nisbett/…

Anonymizing faculty applications (removing names, contact info, institutions, country, leaves of absences, gender, religion, race, age, etc) prior to interviewing led one dept hiring one women in 5 positions (2010-20) to 5 women in 5 positions (2021-24). nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Our survival depends on discovery, innovation, and science. It is critical that scientists are free to collaborate, undertake their work, and speak to the media and public. #science #research ted.com/talks/kirsty_duncan_…

If you don’t have 25 tabs containing journal articles that you’re “going to read soon” open at all times, are you even a scientist?

No. This is not acceptable. The methods section is the single most important part of a scientific paper. If those details are relegated to supplementary materials, then it's not a scientific paper in a scientific journal.

While colleagues think mothers who bring children on their work trips are taking them on a holiday, they are actually often juggling childcare and their careers. nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

The majority of earth's scientists now believe we are headed for at least 2.5°C of warming. We're in a climate emergency. No time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables #go100re

This article was written 112 years ago. 112 years, and we still aren't doing what we need to do to address the climate crisis. No time to wait. Let's make 2024 the year we #ActOnClimate #Climate #energy #ClimateEmergency #renewables #GreenNewDeal.

Climate experts were increasingly saying that keeping heating below 1.5C is near impossible, yet it remains the global goal. So I asked hundreds of top IPCC scientists what they thought. What they said shocked even me… 🧵 1/n #ClimateCrisis

That amazing paper you spent years on? That amazing breakthrough you had? Very likely you built this following the work of others (very few exceptions), just as others will build off yours. Science is a continuum. Want to leave a lasting legacy in science? Be generous & be kind.

Yes!

This is great news!

It’s time for the federal budget to recognize the financial burden of celiac disease. Canadians need a tax credit to manage the high cost of gluten-free living. Read Executive Director Melissa Secord's op-ed: ottawacitizen.com/opinion/se… #Celiac #GlutenFreeTaxCredit

Pierre Poilievre's deceptive 'axe the tax' slogan lets him deny the dangers of climate change. If politicians are serious about climate change, what are they going to replace it with? #Opinion by @GillianSteward trib.al/iWbg65r

Research is a public good. It is a fundamental building block of our country that we all have a stake in. It is essential to the health, prosperity, security and sovereignty of Canada. Canada has world class researchers who help build a better future. They need our support.

Congrats to @climatekeith for receiving the well-deserved Distinguished Alumni award @TrentUniversity. What a great talk as well!

Brian Mulroney was one of our most environmentally-friendly Prime Ministers. As PM he: - Secured a treaty with the USA on acid rain - Made Canada the first industrialized nation to ratify a Convention on Biological Diversity - Passed the Environmental Assessment Act & Environmental Protection Act. - Hosted the landmark Montreal Protocol to repair the ozone layer. - Made Canada the first G7 nation to sign the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. In 2006, a 12-member panel named Mulroney Canada's greenest prime minister.
