Alfred Spormann speaking about the new @novonordiskfond-led public-private open science partnership for carbon capture technologies. As Canada waffles, Denmark, one-sixth of Canada’s population, seems to be moving, doing it right, and at larger scale. @ISED_CA@GenomeCanada
Now is exactly the time where Canada and provinces should be approaching companies with an offer. Co-invest with us into an SGC-like PPP and let's work together, in the open, to tackle our shared big scientific problems. @ISED_CA@NSERC_CRSNG@GenomeCanada https://t.co/Z2AQRxbaiQ

Wastewater in @ottawacity rising rapidly...at this rate of increase we are going to reach the maximum measurement ever recorded in the city in a few weeks time. BA4/5 in wastewater now clearly the dominant variants. @OttawaHealth@COVIDPoops19

“When I took this job I said, ‘I won’t lie.’”: Dr. Peter Jüni, epidemiologist at St. Michael’s & outgoing director of the Ontario Science Advisory Table, shares his thoughts on masking, what the summer may bring, and why Toronto is a ‘wonderful place’: https://t.co/T1Uc9QlXcV
The last time @ongov waited to see how bad things would get before acting they ended up imposing capacity restrictions, delaying school reopening and surgeries were cancelled.
Now is the time to :
-promote & ramp up shot 3(&4)
-encourage shot 1&2 for 5-11
-put masks back on
Very humbled to be part of this large Ontario initiative to monitor wastewater! Working openly together means highly valuable and useful data!
