1/2 You've seen several "Tragedy of the Commons" slides that describe how public tax dollars are used to build infrastructure, supplement agriculture & energy companies & how that "public contract / public charge" gets abused where the profits are private and the environmental & social devastation

2/2 profits are private and the environmental and social devastation are left for the public (governments or communities) to $olve for themselves. Here's is something similar but in the new world of Big Data, AI and Genome resources.

Reclaiming Indigenous languages was big in 2025, including at APTN News.

Take a listen for some Anisininew, or Oji-Cree, teachings from St. Theresa Point in Manitoba.

APTN’s Tiar Wheatle will bring you more languages each weekday leading up to Christmas.

The NIH is moving towards "de-siloing" datasets and laws by moving ancient DNA into the biomedical sphere. It's a grave danger to Indigenous Nations globally, but especially here in the USA
This is so cool. As someone who used TKTL1 in the past as a potential example of the “sapiens edge” it’s fascinating that a handful of people get by perfectly well (and even excel) without it!
While stories of singular DNA changes that drove evolution of human brain/behaviour remain seductive, advances across multiple fields of biology cast doubt on such simplistic narratives of our origins. A new paper from my lab shows how biobanks may speak to this fundamental question.🧪

Many farmers are pushing for more federal dollars to provide much-needed stability. Others, especially young farmers, are turning away from the government, looking to local networks for assistance.
Can farmers survive with less federal help? This year, they're learning the hard way

In these turbulent times, light persists. Take a moment to watch this beautiful celebration. It will brighten your day.

Hanukkah blessings for A New Era for New York City (and for the galaxies?!).
It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love.

His whole presidency is about coverups and diverting attention from the facts.Not a honest thing comes out of his mouth.
Massive U.S. strikes against ISIS in Syria announced just as the Epstein files are set to drop.

Two soldiers killed is tragic. But timing matters. War headlines have a way of drowning out accountability.

Ask yourself: why now?
