And we’re back “in person” for Bioethics on 2 campuses via the fancy teleconference room @mylakehead @LakeheadOrillia! 😀

@Mr_Marchesini @srgycdsb Looks great! Love the flags. 👍

This adorable creature is Anomalocaris, an extinct Arthropod famously found in the Burgess Shale. A very kind student gave me this on our last day of Animals @yorkuniversity @YorkUScience as a thank you for a great course. I’m deeply touched. Thank you so much. 😀😀 I love it! 💙

@justindgregg @pronoydsarkar @lisadimona @littlebrown My copy arrived and it’s a beautiful thing! Can’t wait to crack it open. Congrats @justindgregg

Had a great time with @yorkuniversity Explore Summer Science Camp this morning. Thanks for your help Krystina Strickler and @c_arbanas!!!

When I write that humans are on a path to self-extinction in the next century, it's not a "hypothetical but unlikely" framing device. I am deadly serious. Here are some climate science experts explaining just how serious: https://t.co/9gQr8AnbuG

[Justin Gregg @justindgregg]

“The future needs us.” Indeed. Status quo is a death sentence. But human psychology craves status quo. We can’t change human nature, so we must acknowledge it and put systems in place to prevent us from extincting ourselves. https://t.co/pBRXmLj5Q5

@justindgregg @LakeheadOrillia @mylakehead You’re always welcome to join in the conversation with us 😀

[Michael Cardinal-Aucoin @Mollusc_Man]

Probably end up talking about this with my Bioethics students @LakeheadOrillia @mylakehead. Implications for research etc? Will you treat insects differently?

[Justin Gregg @justindgregg]

I find this recent evidence that insect have subjective experience of pain rather convincing.

[Michael Cardinal-Aucoin @Mollusc_Man]

@justindgregg’s book “If Nietzsche were a narwhal” is out and apparently I’m in it! Get your copy now at your favourite local bookstore. 😀

[Justin Gregg @justindgregg]

I name-dropped my pal Monica in the book and now she is infamous/immortal/eternal. You’re in there too, @Mollusc_Man!

I have an article out today in Salon all about how awesome and smart and charming chickens are! "It’s time to shed our misconceptions about chicken intelligence" https://t.co/JkjodPJLPf

[Justin Gregg @justindgregg]

"Perhaps it's time that we let those who can feel the future guide us into it." This line from my article refers to people like @ClimateHuman who are reacting to the climate emergency with the logical/correct amount of concern/passion. https://t.co/ME9w59vRiW

Happy Birthday Darwin! Born on this day in 1809 and biology would never be the same. #DarwinDay https://t.co/KguX5NNbY3

@justindgregg And what did you do for your PhD?
