I promised myself a while back that I wouldn't write any more #ImageJ Macro code. When I made this promise I forgot about all the scripts that we have in use. “Oh, this one just needs a few tweaks and then it can be used in another project." And here I am again in ijm hell!

Today NASA is closing their Office of the Chief Scientist and Office of Technology, Policy, and Strategy and also their Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility branch.

It's a great time to remind your learning community of the incredible achievements of the Black women mathematicians in the 1960's space program that successfully put a man on the Moon. Yes, we're talking about Disney's Hidden Figures.

We offer a Hidden Figures discussion guide that's great for public screenings and low-key classroom use. We also offer classroom-ready lesson plans, across the curriculum, for grades 9-12.

Like all our materials, these guides are free for everyone. Get yours now.

Still time* to apply for this PhD position in my group. 4 years fully funded position (home fees only, I am afraid) to identify the genetic and environmental causes of complex human diseases. A fantastic training opportunity for a candidate interested in acquiring skills in data science and clinical data analysis.

I'm going to start calling this mapleturfing. Fuck US goods pretending to be Canadian.

Campbells' soup sold in Canada now has a maple leaf on the label. Their website has had a maple leaf next to their logo since October 2023.

Campbell's has not had Canadian manufacturing since 2018 when they shut down their last Canadian plant.
