I have been asked by many of you to share my LinkedIn post regarding internal deadlines. Here you go.

What if early-stage biotech teams could get affordable lab space, and in return, help train the next generation of scientists?
We're exploring a wet lab facility in BC with a built-in student internship program. The model only works if there's real demand.
Take our survey: athanorscientific.com
Amiga 2000HD computer showing the SysInfo screen on a Dell LCD monitor.
Just wanted to share a glamour shot of my A2000. This one has a 50 MHz 68030, 64 MB Fast RAM, 2MB Chip RAM expansion, and an A2091 SCSI card. I also have an RGB 2 HDMI board in the video slot.
In the book, written in 2006, a genius game designer created rule-based systems for the most part to trigger on various contingencies.
In 2026 we have LLM agents that arguably make some of the more far-fetched technical things in the book more plausible.
Absolutely my thoughts too when I first read it. "This or the mirror of this will occur in my lifetime. Possibly, soon." Such a lasting impression. Happy that others have also felt the same.
Life imitates art. I absolutely loved Daemon. Recently an OpenClaw agent (rogue or with explicit instruction) coordinated the takeover of a GitHub account to spoof a known product and defraud their customers. While awful and concerning, I couldn't help but remember the book.
What is your University internal deadline like? Single deadline or double deadline?
-CIHR LOI date Feb 4, 2026
-Dalhousie FoM internal deadline on Uni server Feb 12, 2026
-Dalhousie ORS internal deadline on Uni server & ResearchNet Feb 17, 2026
CIHR Deadline Mar 4, 2016 @dalhousieu.bsky.social
Tumour suppressors LKB1 and SMARCA4 functionally interact to regulate gene expression of diverse biological processes in lung cancer https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.01.26.699134v1
13% success rates at #CIHR, is a really 87% fail rate for>4000 scientists. At a time when π¨π¦ is investing millions to recruit more scientist into a broken funding environment. π¨π¦, U need a strong science foundation 2 attract success. #CIHR, fix your science foundation, it is eroding in real time

Yesterday I learned about the SpatialBench from Sedona github.com/apache/sedon...
Which they based on the tpchgen-rs project from @clflushopt.bsky.social github.com/clflushopt/t...
(BTW I a still looking for some more github watchers on tpchgen-rs so I can get it on homebrew)

Could this be the "missing piece"?
Navel-gazed for 12s.
The article itself has a lot of great coverage of people harmed by nitrate pollution from farms.
This headline is like running a story on how a cigarette company caused cancer, but the headline only mentioning an unrelated bowling alley in the town, and implying the bowling alley caused the cancer

If @anthropic.com could fix one thing with the claude.ai interface it would be to stop throwing away half completed reponses on error. The responses were captured in the UX; surely also in SOME other server state? Couldn't we gather this and submit as a partial Assistant response to be completed?
Very interesting to see tools like n8n being used in spaces like bioinformatics. Meant to work between the gaps together with NextFlow and other pipeline tooling; not to replace it.

Hooray for an introvert!
Wish I could have watched this one! Will there be a recording available?
So many reasons 2B upset with recent moves by Alberta gov whose current leader benefited from the very #EDI initiatives they intend to dismantle.
As academics, we need 2B vocal- EDI initiatives must remain firmly embedded in academia. @cdnwomenstem.bsky.social

New rule: no copy/pasting LLM output into documents or emails. If you use generated text, you have to type it out letter by letter yourself, even if you're just transcribing it without changing
I think if people do that, a lot of the cringe will go away--inevitably you'll change the tone & details
Wikipedia is seeing a significant decline in human traffic because more people are getting the information thatβs on Wikipedia via generative AI chatbots that were trained on its articles and search engines that summarize them without actually clicking to the site

The markdown-to-PDF tool that Manus likes to default to does not parse - formatted lists very well. Asking it to use WeasyPrint yields much better results.
Dr. Marignani's example has had a profound influence on me and countless others who have benefited from her generosity, mentorship, and passion for science. Congrats @pmarignani.bsky.social @dalhousie.bsky.social for being selected as a finalist for the Discovery Award Science Champion! π©βπ¬

People doubted me when I said researchers were moving from #Twitter to #Bluesky. Then @altmetric.com showed early data supporting the claim, and now @whysharksmatter.bsky.social & @drjuliawester.bsky.social confirm it with their research. The trend is real. Switch now! #SocialMedia #X #ResearchSky
