5,000 teachers say public education in Alberta won't provide a good learning environment for your child. 1,800 say they're actively planning to leave the province. Don't come to Alberta if you have kids. #abed #abpoli

The fact that a Koch Brothers-funded front group is attacking @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social and me over our book #ScienceUnderSiege (bookshop.org/p/books/scie...) is such an amusing, unintentional affirmation of what we have to say about who is behind the right-wing war on science!

One thing I've been stressing is that, if Hormuz traffic remained stopped, the monumental oil supply shock will manifest as sharp price spikes in wealthy nations that sap disposable incomes

In poorer countries, the shock will manifest as outright physical shortages.

The Gulf of Mexico is running a severe fever... it's the warmest it has ever been for this date. 🥵

Black-and-white oval portrait of Jennie Robertson shown from the chest up. She faces the camera with a neutral expression. Her dark hair is styled up and swept back from her face. She wears a high-collared white blouse with lace detailing and a delicate necklace, along with a darker outer garment or jacket draped over her shoulders. The portrait is mounted on a dark card backing with decorative corner elements, typical of early 20th-century studio photographs.

Jennie Smillie Robertson (1878 - 1981):

She helped re-establish the Ontario Medical College for Women (Women's College Hospital). From 1912 to 1942, she was the hospital's Associate Chief of Gynecology. She also co-founded the Federation of Medical Women of Canada.

How do we know?

Suggested papers to cite that do not exist. Some titles correct, but everything else is wrong or just fabricated out of whole cloth.

Similarly, no longer having respiratory symptoms doesn't mean you've cleared the infection.

Good to see a judge call out the conservative "jail not bail" bullshit for what it is. It has no basis in research, experience or reality. It's simply malicious reactionary rhetoric.

Our dependency on fossil fuels makes us vulnerable. Wars across the world are pushing up prices for households in the UK.

Why keep waiting for the next crisis? We need to transition to clean power as fast as we can to protect people and our economy.
