The Use and Misuse of Antisemitism Statistics in Canada
Since 1982, B'nai Brith Canada has published an annual "Audit of Antisemitic Incidents" which the organization claims to be an āauthoritative document on antisemitism in Canada.Independent Jewish Voices Canada
The #Pentagon will begin releasing never-before-seen files containing unidentified anomalous phenomenon, or #UAPs, on a dedicated website, the agency announced Friday morning.
At the direction of Trump, the files & photos will be released to the public on a rolling basis at War.gov/ufo.
ā¦Also referred to as #UFOs, UAPs have been in conversation among whistleblowers in government, sparking interest among the public.

Because I saw a bunch of science "creators" making videos about this Project Hail Mary movie, and speaking positively about it, as if "hey they present some real science there", I decided to watch it.
I gave up watching movies years ago when I discovered....reality. Which is so much more fascinating, creative, complex, awesome. Documentaries were my new passion.
Anyway, I just watched 1h of it and I had to give up. What a nonsense of a thing. I thought I may have pirated an intentionally bad copy of the movie, one meant to trick the pirates haha.
I find it hard to believe that people watch hours of such silly and nonsensical content. What a waste.
Wanna see something scientific, thrilling, and exciting about an "alien encounter"? Here videoneat.com/documentaries/25ā¦
Or watch the movie Contact videoneat.com/movies/21602/conā¦
Sure these fantasy things are subjective, but man'o'man what a silly movie. The production company must have paid some of these "science creators" to talk about it.

Do fellow US scientists have advice on what I'm supposed to do here. Am I just not going to have a job after spending years getting a PhD, do I move to another country, what options are we actually considering here.

Potentially good news for arthritis sufferers. A study on mice found that the loss of cartilage points to a protein called 15-PGDH. The protein becomes more abundant as people age and disrupts healing. But old mice experienced knee cartilage growth with the introduction of a 15-PGDH inhibitor. Read about it from @ScienceAlert:

This story is amazing.
Giant octopuses of the Cretaceous were up to 19 meters (60 feet) long.
They were the apex ocean predators of their day, eating up plesiosaurs and mosasaurs.
And they were apparently quite intelligent.
Sorry we missed you!
