The International Day of Women and Girls in Science is definitely one to celebrate. We have come a long way, and the future is bright and hopeful. But to get there, we need to keep acknowledging the systemic biases that sadly still exist nowadays πŸ‘‡πŸ»

Saving sunny days for a rainy day: a new molecule for storing green energy An UdeM-led research team has developed an organic molecule that stores renewable energy with record stability, paving the way for more sustainable flow batteries.

#ENERGY It's called AzoBiPy, it stores 2X the energy of most comparable molecules and is highly soluble in water β€” and that could make it a game-changer in the hunt for greener, safer batteries. @profrochefort.bsky.social #chemistry @jacs.acspublications.org

So damn proud of this place. Easily the largest group bike ride I've ever seen of people showing up for the Pretti-Good Memorial Ride. Huge thanks to all those who did logistical work, marshalled, and showed up for justice.

This is Alex Pretti.

This morning he was murdered by ICE. Six ICE agents held him down and shot him at point blank range. Alex was a nurse and researcher at the VA.

Our thoughts are with his loved ones and we stand united in action calling for the abolishment of ICE.

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

Index Australians travelling to the USA and Canada - showing while travel to the US is falling it is rising to Canada

Australians are deciding USA is not a place to visit… oddly they still are going to Canada. Almost like there is something specific about the US..

trump released the names of people who will "govern" and "rebuild" Gaza. White people in western liberal democracies, the same ones supporting israel, a white settler colonial apartheid ethnostate on its campaign of genocide and ethnic cleansing against Palestinians, get to decide who governs Gaza.

Minneapolis driver shot and killed by ICE officer during immigration-related operation, DHS says The Department of Homeland Security said it was a "vehicle ramming related" incident.

Down with ICE. Abolishing it should be day 1 priority for the next US president. Murderers. Fascists.

The world-renowned primatologist Jane Goodall has died at the age of 91, her institute has said.

β€œDr Goodall’s discoveries as an ethologist revolutionised science,” the statement read. β€œShe was a tireless advocate for the protection and restoration of our natural world.”

β€œthe shots of delegates looking on in disbelief as Trump vented about broken escalators, MAGA hats, & his general greatness for nearly an hour (ignoring the 15min time limit…)”

Global embarrassment. Joke.
