Is there a jetway anywhere in the world that *isn't* sponsored by HSBC?

Sorry folks, #ONstorm is all my fault. I swapped the Mazda to summer tires last week.

Mildly amused at how many @ntsbnewsroom.bsky.social reports have a section in the middle for "shit we warned the FAA about 17 years ago and they still haven't fixed so we're gonna shame them for it for a 5th time".

It's time for a CAN, EU, + friends travel & trade pact. Call it a North Atlantic Free Trade Area, perhaps. 🇨🇦 able to buy, sell, travel with 🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇮🇪🇲🇽 & more, reduce everyone's dependence on 🇺🇸.

Just spent half the weekend catching up on back issues of admiralcloudberg.medium.com by @kyracloudy.bsky.social Hugely talented writer, turning long dry technical reports into incredibly compelling pieces from which this engineer learns something new every time. Highly recommended reading!

Proud to show off our new #CanBoat flags at the #YGKSantaParade last week!

Hello #YGK! We're your Power & Sail Squadron, now offering boating safety, navigation, emergency response, etc. training under the new #CanBoat #NautiSavoir brand.
Still 100% volunteer-run and with all the local history & lore you've come to expect from us!

#ICYMI: For the 13th consecutive year, KHSC and its research arm, the Kingston General Health Research Institute, have been named one of Canada’s Top 40 #ResearchHospitals by Research Infosource.

5/5 Finally, I was honored to write an op-ed with my esteemed co-author on the Science piece, Wilmot James, former MP and Shadow Health Minister in South Africa, relating this new work to my previous work on AMR and COVID-19, and Dr James’ work towards global health equity. Link soon to follow.

4/5 Mirror bacteria are not right around the corner, so we have an opportunity to start a broad and inclusive effort to better understand these risks, and to find a responsible path forward. See mbdialogues.org for more about the first steps here.

3/5 I’m in awe of my synthetic biology colleagues who previously sought to eventually build mirror bacteria but are now urging for this goal to be abandoned. Not an easy thing to do!

2/5 As an evolutionary microbiologist and ecologist, I was asked to evaluate the potential for mirror bacteria to invade diverse hosts and ecosystems. I was initially very skeptical (as all scientists should be!), but after collaborating on the report, I have been left profoundly concerned.

I’m proud to join more than 30 colleagues today in sharing our analysis of potential risks from “mirror life”. We summarize our findings in a @science.org article, and in greater detail in a 300pg technical report:

Over 30 prominent scientists call for a ban on the creation of a "mirror cell"--a microbe made of molecules that are mirror images of their natural forms. It could cause a mind-boggling global disaster. Here's my story [gift link] 🧪https://nyti.ms/3OUCXp6
