Bats are one of the few animals that I genuinely don't enjoy being around.... but I still want them to thrive!
This is really great news that a Canadian researcher might have found a treatment for white-nose syndrome!
" B.C.-based scientist Cori Lausen, nicknamed Bat Lady by her peers, believes a probiotic formula may be capable of saving them. This cocktail is a blend of four bacterial strains that suppress the fungus. These bacteria are naturally found in some bats, but not all. ”

US kills 14 in strikes on four alleged drug boats
Mexico's navy is searching for the sole survivor of the latest attack on boats the US says were carrying drugs in both the Pacific and Caribbean.

Good Morning #Canada
Today, while doing my morning Google thingy, I learned that Elon Musk has Canadian Citizenship. Now I need a shower.
Canada is pretty picky when we look for individuals who should be Canadian. Only 6 non-citizens have ever been recognized as Honorary Canadians, which takes an Act of Parliament to be designated with the honour. It provides zero rights or privileges but looks good on your resume. It is far more likely that non-citizens could be awarded the Order of Canada as they are eligible if they have made a significant contribution to Canadian society or had a positive impact on the world at large. As of August 2025, 8,647 people have been appointed to the order, an average of 150 per year since the honour was established in 1967. There is no list of non-Canadian recipients, as the government doesn't track them separately, but Queen Elizabeth II was awarded her Sovereign badge in 1970.

Sunshine, bassline and, erm, batty whine. Yes, its Famz Tree's favourite weekend of the year, when all the best bits of our community cram together in London W10, filling our body and soul with chicken, rum and the loudest, sweetest, life affirming music that we all live for. The fact that, in doing so, we manage to wind up the assorted Mail journos, Tory councillors, online rage baiters and pricks like Farage only adds to the fun. Big up all those who made it down there. Here's to years more t…

Stochastic diffusive energy balance climate model with a multiplicative noise modeling the Solar variability
We prove the existence, uniqueness, and comparison of solutions for a nonlinear stochastic parabolic partial differential equation that includes the Solar variability in terms of a multiplicative Wiener cylindrical noise in the term of the absorbed radiative energy in a simplified diffusive one-dimensional Energy Balance Model. We introduce a hybrid co-albedo nonlinear term, which has the advantages of both the Sellers model, as it is a continuous function, and the Budyko model, as it has an in…

Memory-aware feedback enhances power in active information engines
We study an information engine operating in an active bath, where a Brownian particle confined in a harmonic trap undergoes feedback-driven displacement cycles. Unlike thermal environments, active baths exhibit temporally correlated fluctuations, introducing memory effects that challenge conventional feedback strategies. Extending the framework of stochastic thermodynamics to account for such memory, we analyze a feedback protocol that periodically shifts the potential minimum based on noisy me…
