I’m atheist but the pope is very wise here.

This is why technofascists, oligarchs, and their servants, such as JD Vance, hate this Pope.

Someone should tell Trump: Canada holds 369 million hectares of forest. 93% of the areas that burned in 2023 was lightning-ignited, in remote boreal areas hard to reach. Raking the floor doesn't stop a lightning strike in the taiga.

Talk about a good spot for poster session!!

We are looking forward to invited talks from @michelcayouette.bsky.social (McGill University, Montreal, Canada), Elise Heon (Sick Kids Hospital Toronto, Canada) and Brian Brooks (National Eye Institute, Bethesda, Maryland, USA)!

Many great points made in thi article. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The problem with Canada’s plan to buy scientific prestige

The government’s plans to poach 100 US researchers might make good economic sense. But what about the existing community?

Had a wonderful visit at Taipei Medical University and Academia Sinica in Taïwan! Thank you to Jian-Ying Chuang and Chi-Hon Lee for hosting me and everyone who took time out of their schedule to meet with me and discuss their science!

Watching normal NHL games after this will be bof…😳

Great win Canada! But next game maybe start playing in the first period, this would greatly help my heart rate...

This just made my day...

This is actually one of the biggest all time questions in biology. How do cells control their size? How do they know how big they are? How is that process regulated?

Michel Cayouette@michelcayouette.bsky.social · 8mo ago

Happy to announce that our latest paper is now out! Have you ever wondered how neural tissues control their size? In this paper, we show that cell division orientation is critical in both the cortex and retina. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Oriented cell divisions induce basal progenitors and regulate neural expansion across tissues and species

A fundamental role for division orientation in progenitor output driving cortical and retinal growth is revealed.

Attended a great talk by Dr. Michel Cayouette @michelcayouette.bsky.social 🧠 He showed how retinal progenitor cells use "spindle orientation" to decide their fate between expanding the pool vs creating specific neurons. It's how the retina controls its own size 👁️ #visionscience

CIHR notifying me today that I must file a final grant report before 30th September 2033… Is this some kind of joke?

Stunning

Open up this picture fully. Then look at the surface of Mars. Then look up to the top right. Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky. Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos. That's Earth.
