Congrats EE Millar on publishing about the implications of using 'free' or 'easy to use' platforms for aquatic citizen science. It's important to prevent data commodification. Download full article before Nov 13 here:

@Metrolinx please take note. Peterborough needs a quick GO link NOW! Here's a brilliant solution: direct route via 407 to subway station at Finch or Vaughan.

Google and Facebook will be blocking all Canadian news - even in Google searches. HOW LONG BEFORE THEY BLOCK YOU??? platforms are assuming the role of purveyors. Read Mario Ressa to understand why we should all be VERY worried.

'Could lead to' is the key phrase. Platforms (e.g. Twitter, Facebook) are great for getting large amounts of information into standardised, interoperable formats, and spreading info.

Congrats to Dr. E Millar @ensciman who recently completed the program here @TMUgraduate His dissertation addressed why aquatic citizen science's move to platforms could lead to mistrust and industry control.

If it were a separate country, the #GreatLakes basin would be the third largest #economy in the world and freshwater is its fuel. As #climatechange makes #water scarce, people will seek refuge in the basin. Time is ticking - we must plan & prepare. #SciencePlan

Increasing funding to #GradStudents and #Postdocs is the most urgent funding issue in Canada-they haven't had a raise in 20 yrs! I am so disappointed in @cafreeland @JustinTrudeau & @FP_Champagne - #Budget2023 contains nothing to support these researchers #SupportOurScience 1/3
