Building, testing and installing sea level GNSS-IR monitoring instruments here for the last few days with help from a great team from #ClimateNarratives and #mcgill. Connecting with the local community here in Ilulissat has been key with this work. The instrument is up and running with a beautiful ocean view for observing sea level changes and ocean tides in Disko Bay from #Ilulissat #Greenland. Looking forward to sharing the results with scientists and community members. #OpenScience

Curbcut Toronto is a collaboration between the Digital Curation Institute #UofT and Urban Politics and Governance #McGill @dwachsmuth, building on Curbcut and bringing it to Toronto. https://toronto.curbcut.ca/?

Headed to Greenland for fieldwork and teaching. First to Ilulissat to join a Climate Narratives team at #Illu Art and Science Hub. One goal there is to build a sea level and tides monitoring station using GNSS-IR and an array of low-cost GPS antennas. @BillMinarik and EPS #McGill alum Dave Purnell have been helping me get ready. And next week, #ACDCsummerschool has teamed up with #GRISO for a graduate school on the #GreenlandIceSheet at Disko Island research station. More soon.

Oldest is at Canadian International Rover Challenge in #Drumheller this weekend.

A #robotics competition for university #engineering students in which they construct a Mars Rover and perform various tasks with it to win!

Jordan Peterson says that #RFKjr is a "Classic Democrat." Then again, he calls himself a "classic British liberal" and absolutely NOT "right-wing." Right.

Anyways, I starting writing this about RFKjr because he's clearly a conspiratorial loon. But Jordan Peterson supports him, so what does that make Peterson?

@andyriga I'm glad that the Mohawk Mothers and #McGill have reached an agreement. Any place where people claim there are graves should be carefully investigated before excavation.

First Nations members have often been mistreated by Canadian institutions; we know that unethical medical research has occurred in that general area. Even so, I wonder how likely it is there are unmarked graves.

Yesterday, during #shabbos I read #LeonardCohen's first book of #poetry Let Us Compare Mythologies. He was only 22 when it was publish in a small print run of 400 copies by #McGill where he had written it as a student.

You can already see some of the themes he would explore throughout his artistic life. Love and religion in particular.

I so wanted my kid to go, but not in the cards.

The pillow rinds have preferentially weathered, outlining the basalt pillows formed at least 3.75 and perhaps as long ago as 4.3 billion years ago. Now metamorphosed to amphibolite grade.

There should be a lot more pointed questions aimed at #McGill for participation in #MKULTRA.

Wiping or rewriting someone's mind is indistinguishable from murder. The meatpuppet left behind has nothing to do with the original mind and I'm not sure how psychiatrists of the time ever missed that little ethics factoid.

You're your mind. What does it mean to destroy it? Seems pretty unambiguous to me.

#ClimateScienceNews
25% of our planet's 🌎 electricity is generated from natural gas. This results in 10% of the energy related #CO2 pollution. A team of scientist lead by #McGill University 🇨🇦 has demonstrated that that amount of pollution can be reduced by another 71%‼️ Natural gas will be required to help transition to fully renewable energy. This news will definitely help✅

Today, over 100 students and community members in #Montreal "stormed into a talk at #McGill University" shutting down an event organized by a member of the LGB Alliance, a anti-trans hate group which works to oppose trans rights in the UK, even going so far as to oppose a ban on conversation therapy and claiming opposing same-sex marriage is "not homophobic." Like the rest of the TERF movement, it also has direct links and associations with the far-Right and open fascists.

Protesters reportedly "threw baking flour at [the speaker and] unplugged a projector," before the event was shut down.

@canadaehx , I think you'll appreciate this video of the #McCordMuseum .
