Very proud of the whole team on this one! With a new wearable, we measured home lighting as the circadian system sees it. We found average homes are too bright before bedtime; bright enough to suppress about half of our evening melatonin on average.

Dear Science Deniers,
(Anti-vaxers, anti-maskers, climate hoaxers, flat-Earthers, etc)
You found one another & communicate via stupefyingly advanced technologies that pivot on the discoveries of scientists.
Just thought I’d remind you of that fact.
Sincerely,
Your Smart Phone

Some statistics to consider when holiday shopping starting with "...only 9 per cent of plastic in Canada is recycled after use...an estimated 3,268 kilotonnes of plastics were discarded as waste in 2016....equivalent to about 24,000 empty Boeing 787 jets."

Food banks, charitable toy drives, coat drives... we can only celebrate those things when we are collectively doing everything possible to close the gaps that create the need. I am not seeing @fordnation closing the gaps of inequity the way that good government should.
