How do you decide which theory, model, or framework (TMF) should guide your next implementation project? Our team has just published SELECT-IT in @implementsci.bsky.social — a four-step meta-framework that turns that question into a replicable process: doi.org/10.1186/s130... @jgrimshaw.bsky.social

Vote Canada!!
The polls for Carlton are unlikely to be accurate this time. Polling only captures part of the picture.

Turnout will play a HUGE role in this battle. If Liberal & NDP voters unite behind Fanjoy then get out and vote on Monday, Poilievre will get to retire.

Pierre Poilievre's Carleton riding tops early voting numbers in 2025 federal election
The tally comes amidst speculation that Poilievre, who has held the riding for two decades, may be in a tight race to be re-elected Monday.

Carleton! You have an amazing opportunity to elect this incredible man. Bruce Fanjoy is genuine, compassionate, and truly cares about his community. At the doors, I felt change is happening in this riding. Please get out and vote for @brucefanjoy.bsky.social on Monday. #cdnpoli #Elxn2025

My father, Frank Grimshaw, was a photographer with the UK National Coal Board in the North West of England from the late 1950s to early 1970s. He shot a remarkable body of work. We have an exhibition in Toronto, Canada 3rd May - June 22nd. (We are trying to organize a UK exhibition next year).

Almost certainly true.

But 1) the limits on individual rights were often quite local - quarantine one ship, close one restaurant, etc. They were often of short duration.

The COVID-19 pandemic meant the limits on rights were broad & lasted months

Delighted to see this report published today. I undertook the research via my consultancy, Watson Research & Training, and much of the evidence was derived from the Dunhill Medical Trust & Chief Scientist Office studies that explored the medicine-related needs of older people with sensory impairment

The Trump administration's erasure of federal data has put the Internet Archive in the spotlight. The organization, with its small but mighty team, is working to help save the world's digital history.

It's not an exaggeration to say that the Trump/Musk regime has figured out a way to pull off a global holocaust without invading a single country or dropping a single bomb. When you see it as intentional and not as the unfortunate byproduct of cutting government waste it's very clarifying.
The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought:
- 1.65 million deaths from AIDS
- 500,000 from lack of vaccines
- 550,000 from lack of food aid
- 290,000 from malaria
- 310,000 from TB
Killing children is by design, I'm afraid. "Pro-natalists" like Musk claim they aren't racist, but their pressure to have children is solely focused on white women, while they back policies that literally kill of non-white children.

He's a eugenicist.

Easy to lose this in the noise of the day, but the prime minister of Canada just said the US president, leader of the global hegemon, wants to soften us up economically so he can annex us.

That is one of the most remarkable statements, and realities, in our history.

Appears to be back up (thankfully). However any threat to Pubmed would undermine medical science globally.
PubMed down .... Here's my post on what to do
Hate that it has come to this, but it's time to consider PubMed vulnerable to enshittification. My latest post @plos.org discusses the lines we need to fight to hold – and alternatives we can rely on internationally:
