Try Down Cemetery Road. It’s the first of Nick Herron’s books and he is the executive producer. I’ve only watched the first episode to date and it’s not as edgy as Slow Horses but it’s promising. Can see how he evolved his writing. #GoJays

Am not an amphibian physiology expert but what, precisely, is your head sticking out of?

Heard directly about some of the great work being done by Jens at HIRI this week. RNA phages are one element of the powerful biology that has taught us so much about gene regulation, translation and defense mechanisms.

Yes, but what does your doggie think? Ours used to make us think she'd swallowed it then we'd find it spat up behind the curtains.

Immune interception for malignant gliomas in children, adolescents and young adults Cancer is often talked about as one disease, but it’s actually hundreds of diseases, each with unique mutations, behaviours and respon...

OMG, yes! Provide the data in a CCV format. It'll never be retrieved! Brilliant.

There's a year-old problem with looping movies in Powerpoint on Mac. Movie plays once, jitters and then shows blocky artefacts. Same pptx works fine on Windows. Problem seems to be Mac-side (QT?) but 15.7.1 and 26.0.1 both show this behaviour.

Congratulations to Dr. Mei Zhen, Senior Investigator at LTRI, on being named one of Canada’s Top 100 Most Powerful Women by @WXN in the STEM category! 👏

Her neuroscience research is uncovering how brain circuits form, function & fail in disease: bit.ly/3X4f2aU

I think it goes beyond 5 years and will cover so much data that theres a real risk of breach. Meanwhile CIHR project grant applications are up by 200 or so.

This should whip up some Sundae stories.

If the Jays win the series, Trump will increase tariffs in Canada. If the Dodgers win the series Trump will increase tariffs on Canada.

Got it in two, too!

Very good point. There is constant fear amongst communities and extended families with the uncertainty and brutality.

These people are heavily armed, wear body armor and are afraid of their own shadow.

Flew from Toronto to Frankfurt in less time than game 3. 🤯

Just a bunch of hurt mixed in with a few femtoseconds of shallow joy.

Good opportunity to drop-kick FaceBook into eternity.

So can reading the CV but that would take precious minutes.

Waiting for one of the big tech companies to market 'Validated AI" in which the BTO* personally signs off on each result.
