PAPER ALERT! Our new paper published in The Cryosphere shows that freeze-up timing and early-winter ice growth in a small subarctic lake are mainly controlled by air temperature and snowfall, key insights into early-season ice processes in northern lakes. https://t.co/OdNW9sm5bz

Check out my conversation with Molly Webster about light’s role in life beyond vision & vitamin D synthesis. Our bodies emit patterns of light - tiny packets of information - that may reveal health, aging, and how we interact with the world. We’re just beginning to understand
“Plants give off light. Shrimp give off light. Literally everything that is alive emits light,” says Nirosha Murugan. And what about us humans? To find out, listen to "The Spark of Life" here: https://t.co/VQZBF4DCT4

Your brain is glowing. ✨ It is emitting faint, spontaneous light that can tell us what’s going on inside your brain cells. @msahsorin built a helmet that measures light emissions to diagnose cancer in its earliest stages. Learn more: https://t.co/9nWDFjY0Mz

If we want #AI to think like humans, then we need to understand how humans think. 🤔 Studying humans is tough, so @Laurier researcher Nicolas Rouleau (@DrNRouleau) is creating miniaturized brains in petri dishes. Learn more about his inspired research: https://t.co/2O3WI6IbIp
