Realizing that could be 🇨🇦☹️

Time for him to start another war with an oil owning state to distract.

The price of gas will swing the midterms in a way that all the atrocities and incompetence won’t. The administration needs to bring the gas price down. That’s why.

🎂 May your day be filled with ☀️and 🦄

I don't expect the general public to know that. I do expect the peopled tasked with doubling our research funding to know what's what.

Buy defence stocks....

It's concerning when people in the institution's research office don't know the difference between an assistant, associate and full professor. Just saying...

Great to welcome MP Peter Fragiskatos to the #TRIDENT labs at @westernu.ca. 🔬Showcasing how #NFRF funded, collaborative Canadian research is accelerating new therapies for brain diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. 🧠🍁 @schulichmeddent.bsky.social. Learn more at tridentpreclinicaltrials.org!

The difference is cultural. Americans don’t believe every grant or idea is fundable. Canadians feel that they should all be funded. History tells us not all ideas are good. Our real problem is many good ideas don’t get funded or take forever to fund, forcing incremental and pointless resubmissions.

We were happy to welcome MP Peter Fragiskatos today to tour @tridentpct.bsky.social facilities and talk neurodegenerative disease research and federal funding for research @westernu.ca @schulichmeddent.bsky.social

I recently attended an internal CFI pitch in which I was the only one to not have AI generated slides. Hugely distracting. As one leader said…it’s because I had real data and real equipment.

And then Canada was going to attack the USA……

Got a 7T human system? Sell a 7T human system? Want a 7T human system? Then you should attend our 4th Annual meeting at UNC to see how 7T fits in the translational spectrum from research to clinic.

#TRIDENT is a $24M federal investment in research innovation. It’s about building a smarter, more efficient path from drug discovery to delivery, so Canadians benefit from safer and better treatments for brain disease, faster. 🧠 #Alzheimers #Parkinsons #NFRF Learn more here:

At current production rates, the US will exhaust its 46.4 billion barrels in known crude oil reserves in 9 years (excl. shale oil).

Guess who has the largest reserves?
Venezuela (303.2 billion)
Saudi Arabia (267.2 billion)
Iran (208.6 billion)
Canada (171 billion)

Any questions?

Nice to see @roadandtrack.bsky.social posting consistently here on Bsky.

This map shows widely dispersed dots representing the guesses of US survey respondents about the location of Iran on a world map. 23% placed a dot in the correct area.

Where is Iran?
Each dot represents an American's guess.

Functional imaging. Metabolic mapping. Competitive seasoning. The @cfmm.bsky.social Chili Cook Off proved our research isn’t the only thing bringing the heat this winter! 🌶️Explore Canada's national ultra-high field MRI platform via cfmm.uwo.ca/index.html. @westernu.ca @schulichmeddent.bsky.social

Thanks everyone for making this such a fun and successful event.

The winners are:
Spiciest - Sarah
Classic Recipe - Joe
Most original - Mayuri

And thanks to Miranda and Julie for decorating and organizing!

Nothing like Chili to spice up a 🇨🇦 winter.

More Teslas and tamales than you will find anywhere else in 🇨🇦.

This competition has the highest spicy-to-noise ratio ever measured.

It’s the Annual CFMM Chili challenge. Winners to be announced after lunch @cfmm.bsky.social

We love it when innovative collaborators challenge @cfmm.bsky.social staff with cool projects. At our imaging centre, we now have open source solutions for MRI in awake mice, rats and marmosets…and humans!

Don't tell my dog that. He has a nose for the stuff!!

C'mon. You know you want to be an Assistant Dean in charge of something, yet in charge of nothing. Admit it!

We have Canada geese nesting now. Goose poop to follow...

When my organoids start talking back to me I know it’s time to retire!

If you put those people into a permissive environment instead of something bent on grinding them down with senseless bureaucracy, you could have something that rivalled the great universities of the world.

We have multiple facilities here too. Because leadership allows people to have their own boutique programs instead of having a unifying vision for core facilities. Everyone suffers as a consequence.
