War does not solve problems; on the contrary, it amplifies them and inflicts deep wounds on the history of peoples, which take generations to heal. No armed victory can compensate for the pain of mothers, the fear of children, or stolen futures. May diplomacy silence the weapons! May nations chart their futures with works of peace, not with violence and bloodstained conflicts!
The Ontario fire program is heavily investing in aerial suppression research. This summer we began our data collection of using airborne infrared imaging to monitor drops from a CL-415 airtanker on free burning wildfires in the Ontario boreal forest!

The most amazing day joining @anthonyinglis & the London Concert Orchestra as surprise guest for yesterday’s Zimmer vs Williams shows @RoyalAlbertHall. Getting to play Interstellar with full orchestra is something I will never forget ❤️ the collective sound was almost 100 decibels…!!

@justin_garson I’m so captivated by that photo. It resonates with my journeys, often in nature, and my love of ideas, regardless of the fragility of life.

@DrAndreaHoward@AmandaKMontoya@tcarpenter216 Thanks. I‘m not referring to an interaction but to the meaning we ascribe to the residual variance. I haven’t listened to the episode yet, but I know we have different ways of explaining what it means in the real world when we partial out or control …”
Have you ever seen a bald eagle come falling out of the sky at full speed? The Experienced ones can come hurdling out off the sky at speeds of up to 50 mph but they also know how to put on the brakes and gracefully slow down in order to grab a fish from the surface.
@kdaljeet It’s actually a fourth year honours thesis option course that we are starting in Psychology in September. Hope you are well Kabir and congratulations on your new responsibilities!
Congratulations John and your colleagues. This is a major paper that I will refer to a lot in our new meta analysis course. Love the overall vision — CDA: cumulative, dynamic, and accessible.
