Hey tweeps!
Are you aware of a evidence that reforms in scientific integrity, responsible scholarship, or #OpenScience have had measurable impact on the quality of science (broadly defined)?
@annaveer & I are looking information for a workshop we're putting together.

Thanks 🖤!

To help birds and insects, cultivate native gardens 🌱

Entomologist Doug Tallamy has this advice for the readers of his book Nature’s Best Hope, geared toward kids:

"Feel empowered. Feel like there are things they can do where they live. If they live in the middle of a city with no land at all, they can get into container gardening. They can become activists. They can volunteer at preserves that are in their city."

And the gems keep coming. So much to learn! ✨
Apparently authenticity isn’t about being blunt, wildly expressing whatever is on your mind. It requires a sense of security—knowing that the person or people who will hear from you are generally safe. You don’t feel defensive. You aren’t operating on autopilot. You’re connected and taking ownership of your personal experiences

“Long-COVID patients, generally speaking, have been very miserable for a very long time.”

A good article about a doctor at Yale attempting to diagnosis & treat Long Covid patients when there aren’t any good answers yet:

I took these photos of a cool purple seed I happened upon while enjoying a walk through the local botanical gardens.
I’m counting this as my first contribution to #Mosstodon.

A few last glimpses of the West Island at #OntarioPlace before Premier #DougFord bulldozes it all for his private, glass-enclosed mega-spa.

So it looks like MPP Caroline Mulroney, #Ontario's failed attorney general & now failed Transportation Minister has become President of the Treasury Board (aka keeper of the purse strings)
Despite the #DougFord govt's #greenbeltscandal, she's managed to snag a KC patronage & sidestep her problematic transport file. Lucky, or what?!
MPP Sarkiria takes over transport & began his tenure by assuring disgraced MPP Clark that "we will finish the important work you started."

If Canadian women don’t vote in record numbers in the next federal election, #Poilievre will become PM.
He's going to work with #Conservative premiers to further privatize our healthcare system, limit women’s reproductive rights, and cut social programs like $10 a day daycare.
And he's already vowed to reduce the Canada Pension Plan.

Interesting that on the ctvnews web site, there is now a big headline about Doug Ford asking Bank of Canada to not hike interest rates, and the Clark resignation story requires a lot of scrolling down to see. What a shocker! Canadian media are such RW enablers! #OnPoli

Black Mastodon users are writing in frustration that people don’t believe that #racism exists on Mastodon. As a new moderator, I can assure you that racism is very real here. Be sure to report it when you find it so that we can stamp it out.

What If Monday.

What if 30 years ago our politicians had listened to climate scientists.

What if 30 years ago Trump had been held responsible for the crimes he was already committing.
