Scientists have created one of the most detailed 3D reconstructions of a human cell (eukaryotic cell) ever produced. This groundbreaking model, often termed a "Cellular Landscape Cross-Section Through a Eukaryotic Cell," combines data from X-ray tomography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and cryo-electron microscopy to map molecular structures in extreme detail.

I await Governor General Mary Simon's condolence video in French. Why do the Liberals hold the CEO of Air Canada to a higher standard of bilingualism than their own appointee as Governor General, who hasn't learned French after four years in the role? TBH, I would rather have the CEO of our flagship carrier focusing his scarce time on safety and reliability than language training.

Air Canada has gone 43 (!) years without a fatal incident. My entire life up to this point has been lived in a country where the flag carrier never got a single person killed in a crash. The record is a totem to what serious people can accomplish. So naturally, Mark Carney is screaming at them to instead focus on nonsense.

Reads like an Onion satire of what has become of the Canadian bureaucratic state. A fatal airline accident, and the Minister of Transport’a response is to focus on the language of the CEO’s condolence message. (Technical note for Ottawa: anyone can now instantly generate an audio or text translation of the video statement.)

I am glad everyone is 100% sure that the war in Iran is the end of the world/a genius move/the end of the American Empire/the begining of a new age of American greatness/insert other opinion here. But could you just acknowledge for a moment that you don't actually know how this is going to go because no one does? It's a gamble which could go either way. And all I see is people doing the usual "Here is my baseless opinion expressed with 100% metaphysical certitude followed by the typical "I hope I'm wrong" disclaimer which allows them to simultaneously harvest the clicks of people who wanted to have their retarded opinion reflected back at them while having plausible deniability for when that retarded opinion turns out to have been completely wrong. The coin is in the air and we don't know how it's going to land, but the internet is full of people screaming "IT'S GOING TO BE HEADS" arguing with people screaming "IT'S GOING TO BE TAILS". Stfu.

This is why conservative politicians in Alberta are freaking out. More than half of Albertans would vote Liberal or NDP if a federal election were held today. Only 35 percent would vote CPC. Danielle Smith and Pierre Poilievre are turning off big chunks of their former base.

A restaurant in the Montreal area is now charging $5 for a bottle of regular TAP water. While the practice is legal, is it right to charge for basic water in Canada—even if it’s common in other parts of the world?
