With profound sadness I learn of the passing of Dr C. T. Taggart (1951-2024); he was a fantastic mentor. He leaves a throve of pubs (I was a very proud co-author in a couple), and legion of students from his Biological Oceanography lab at @DalScience Long ride your bike Chris!

A native group of people living in the Oceania subregion called Melanesia, is famous for their beautiful dark skin and naturally blonde hair. The blonde trait is developed via the TYRP1 gene, which is not the same that causes blondness in European blonds.

Spare a thought tonight for the 1’500 people who died on RMS Titanic which struck an iceberg at 11.40pm on this day in 1912 and sank in the early hours of the following day. *The footage is of the ship leaving Belfast.

The whole "illegitimate majority" and "parliamentary authoritarianism" line of attack is, of course, a bunch of hooey and deserves not a scintilla of serious response - or attention. But that line of attack if corrosive to our democratic institutions. So here it goes. 1/

Tradition matters! Europe is tradition, history, and values. Each country has its own unique set of traditional attire, colorful in history and cultural significance. Let's honor the vibrant and diverse world of some European folkloric traditional dress: 🧵👇🏻

I have arrived in Oslo. Important meetings are scheduled, as well as the signing of a bilateral document that will help strengthen our security. Ahead are talks with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, meetings with Crown Prince Haakon of Norway and with Norwegian parliamentarians. We continue active diplomacy with our partners for the sake of protecting lives and bringing closer a real and guaranteed peace.

Over to you, Premiers! Provincial taxes on fuel are higher than the federal one. So now we wait.

Not something you see everyday. A mesmerizing water vortex, known as a "fog angel," swirls in the Faroe Islands: a small waterspout, so thin that looks like an ethereal creature.

Il y a 81 ans aujourd'hui, Léo Major libérait à lui seul la ville de Zwolle aux Pays-Bas. Encore aujourd'hui, les exploits de ce héros de guerre sont encore trop peu connus. Un parc à son nom à Longueuil nous permet de se souvenir de lui! Comme vétéran, petit-fils de vétéran et député d’un comté avec forte histoire militaire, nous avons tous un devoir de mémoire… Tombés, mais jamais oubliés... Je me souviens 🫡

Some names are carved in stone. Others are written among the stars. When Reid Wiseman flew farther from Earth than any human in history aboard Artemis II, he carried more than just scientific instruments with him. He carried a memory. In 2020, Reid lost his beloved wife, Carroll Wiseman, to cancer at the age of 46. She was a dedicated neonatal nurse who spent her life caring for the smallest and most fragile newborns. During her illness, he stepped away from NASA to be by her side. After her passing, he raised their two young daughters on his own — a journey he would later describe as far harder than anything he faced in space. Then, years later, during the record-breaking Artemis II mission, as the crew traveled farther from Earth than any humans before them, something deeply moving happened. Astronaut Jeremy Hansen’s voice cracked over the radio as he made a simple, heartfelt request to mission control. To name a lunar crater… Carroll.

I sounded the alarm about Donald Trump’s sons backing drone company, Powerus. Now, Powerus wants to sell drones to countries under attack by Iran. Are Trump’s sons cashing in on the war their father started? Americans deserve answers.
