BTW - that CBC article used a lot of numbers from this report, which because it's all numbers is awesome. Some tidbits:
- The number of farms over 3,500 acres has nearly doubled in 20 years.
- 41.3% of Canadian farmland is rented.
- From 1971 to 2021, the farm population declined by 62.2%, from 1 in 14 Canadians to 1 in 61.
- Farm debt has more than doubled in the last 20 years, from $43B in 2002 to $138.8B in 2022. That is currently 10x the size of net farm income.
- In 2021, 96,043 tonnes of pesticides were sold for agricultural use – more than three times the amount sold in 1991.

Control of lumen morphology by lateral and basal cell surfaces

Control of lumen morphology by lateral and basal cell surfaces
Across development, the morphology of fluid-filled lumina enclosed by epithelial tissues arises from an interplay of lumen pressure, mechanics of the cell cortex, and cell-cell adhesion. Here, we explore the mechanical basis for the control of this interplay using the shape space of MDCK cysts and the instability of their apical surfaces under tight junction perturbations [Mukenhirn et al., Dev. Cell 59, 2886 (2024)]. We discover that the cysts respond to these perturbations by significantly mo…

Commemorating the 2024 S. Chandrasekhar Prize, this review provides a retrospective on the genesis and evolution of plasma wakefield acceleration. It traces the journey from prehistory and the invention of the Plasma Wakefield Accelerator (PWFA), the establishment of its theoretical cornerstones, to its profound reverberations across fundamental physics, including astrophysics and analog gravity. The narrative emphasizes conceptual evolution, key theoretical breakthroughs, and future outlook, c…

Some bounds on the number of non isomorphic cyclic k-cycle systems of the complete graph
In a recent paper (2024) M. Buratti and M.E:Muzychuck have established some lower bounds on the number of non isomorphic cyclic Steiner Triple Systems of order $v\equiv 1$ (mod $6$). We complete their result to the case $v\equiv 3$ (mod $6$). For each odd $k > 3$ we also find lower bounds for the number of non isomorphic cyclic $k$-cycle systems of a complete graph.

Svalbard lost 1% of its ice in the summer of 2024, more than any year on record
Svalbard, an Arctic archipelago that is technically a part of Norway, lies about halfway between the northernmost part of Norway and the North Pole. Currently, about 60% of Svalbard's surface is covered in glaciers, but these glaciers are melting rapidly. During the summer of 2024, Svalbard experienced a record-breaking heat wave that melted more of its glaciers than ever before.

How candidates evoke identity and issues on TikTok
Social media platforms are increasingly central to campaign communication, with both paid (advertising) and earned (organic) posts used for fundraising, mobilization, and persuasion. TikTok, and other short-form video platforms, with its short-video format and content-driven algorithms, demand unique content. We examine the final six months before the 2024 US Presidential Election to understand how major campaigns used TikTok. We frame our analysis around two political science theories. The fir…

[Extended] Ethics in Computer Security Research: A Data-Driven Assessment of the Past, the Present, and the Possible Future
Ethical questions are discussed regularly in computer security. Still, researchers in computer security lack clear guidance on how to make, document, and assess ethical decisions in research when what is morally right or acceptable is not clear-cut. In this work, we give an overview of the discussion of ethical implications in current published work in computer security by reviewing all 1154 top-tier security papers published in 2024, finding inconsistent levels of ethics reporting with a stron…

Uspol, genocide
In case you're wondering whether "political violence" is escalating in the U.S.A. right now, of *course* it is as we move into an era of concentration campus and domestic military deployments. But both domestic genocides and purges as well as political violence targeted at individual prominent figures has been a *constant* throughout American history, from gun duels fought between political rivals to massacres of Native Americans in order to steal their land, to pogroms against Catholics, to literal wars on local Black success and political participation, all dating back before the American Revolution to the beginning of colonization. Thanks to Wikipedia, here's a *small sampling* where I attempted to whittle things down to about one event per decade before recent times.

Uncovering AI Governance Themes in EU Policies using BERTopic and Thematic Analysis
The upsurge of policies and guidelines that aim to ensure Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems are safe and trustworthy has led to a fragmented landscape of AI governance. The European Union (EU) is a key actor in the development of such policies and guidelines. Its High-Level Expert Group (HLEG) issued an influential set of guidelines for trustworthy AI, followed in 2024 by the adoption of the EU AI Act.

Deforestation & illegal roads advancing fast in Colombia’s largest natural area
In Colombia, the construction of illegal roads continues to damage protected areas. In Chiribiquete National Park, 525 hectares (1,297 acres) of forest were lost throughout 2024 up until March 2025 due to the opening of 81.5 kilometers (50.6 miles) of illegal roads within the reserve. In the Llanos del Yarí-Yaguará II Indigenous Reserve, located in […]

Progressing Level-of-Detail Animation of Volumetric Elastodynamics
We extend the progressive dynamics model (Zhang et al., 2024) from cloth and shell simulation to volumetric finite elements, enabling an efficient level-of-detail (LOD) animation-design pipeline with predictive coarse-resolution previews facilitating rapid iterative design for a final, to-be-generated, high-resolution animation of volumetric elastodynamics. This extension to volumetric domains poses significant new challenges, including the construction of suitable mesh hierarchies and the defi…

Convergences and Divergences: Einstein, Poincar\'e, and Special Relativity

Convergences and Divergences: Einstein, Poincaré, and Special Relativity
Jean-Marc Ginoux's recent book, "Poincaré, Einstein and the Discovery of Special Relativity: An End to the Controversy" (2024), seeks to close the debate over the respective roles of Poincaré and Einstein. Yet what is presented as an "end" may instead invite a more careful analysis of how similar equations can conceal divergent conceptions. The aim here is not to rehearse priority disputes but to show how Einstein's ether-free, principle-based kinematics marked out a path that, unlike its con…

Anomalous inverse Faraday effect for graphene quantum dots in optical vortices
Chiral photon interactions with two-dimensional (2D) materials enable unprecedented control of quantum phenomena. In this paper, we report anomalous inverse Faraday effects (IFE) in graphene quantum dots (GQDs) under linearly polarized optical vortex illumination, where transferred orbital angular momentum (OAM) generates light-induced magnetic moments. Employing our recently developed time-dependent quantum perturbation framework [Phys. Rev. B 110, 085425 (2024)], we demonstrate a counterintui…

Theoretical and experimental basis for excluding Einstein-Cartan theory within the USMEG-EFT framework
The USMEG-EFT framework~\cite{ChishtieEFT2025,ChishtieBreakdown2023} provides systematic quantum gravity through with 4D General Relativity (GR) achieving Standard Model-gravity unification. This work examines Einstein-Cartan theory against McKeon et al.'s claims~\cite{BrandtFrenkelMcKeon2024,McKeonBrandtFrenkel2025} regarding its viability for unification. McKeon et al.'s 2024 analysis omitted key interaction terms, missing Einstein-Cartan's central content. Their 2025 claim that unification r…
