On April 17, 2024 a pro-Palestine protest encampment was built at Columbia University where students called on their school to disclose and divest their investments in companies linked to Israel and its war on Gaza. This inspired a movement in universities across North America –and the globe– for students to create their own on-campus encampments.  After months of peaceful protest, the encampments at UofT, McGill, UOttawa have now been dismantled, but the pressure for divestment continues.  Today on rabble radio, freelance reporter Stephen Wentzell sits down with journalist and activist Desmond Cole to outline the misconceptions some had about the student encampments and what responsible reporting for Palestine looks like. Desmond Cole is a journalist, radio host, and activist. His debut book, The Skin We're In, won the Toronto Book Award and was a finalist for the Forest of Reading Evergreen Award and the Rakuten Kobo Emerging Writer Prize. It was also named a best book of 2020 by The Globe and Mail, NOW Magazine, CBC, Quill & Quire, and Indigo. Cole's writing has appeared in the Toronto Star, Toronto Life, The Walrus, and the Ottawa Citizen, among others. He lives in Toronto. Stephen Wentzell is a journalist based in New York City covering politics, social issues, and the criminal legal system. A former national politics reporter at rabble.ca, Stephen has also worked at publications including CTV Atlantic and CityNews Halifax. In 2023, Stephen began studying at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York, where he is concentrating in local accountability journalism, as well as health and science reporting. When he's not working, Stephen can be found snuggling with his cat Benson and watching the latest episode of the Real Housewives.

Um novo estudo da uOttawa desafia isso. Um estudo da Universidade de Ottawa publicado hoje desafia o modelo atual do Universo ao mostrar que, de facto, não há espaço para a matéria escura. Na cosmologia, o termo “matéria escura” descreve tudo o que parece não interagir com a luz ou o campo eletromagnético, ou que só pode ser explicado através da força gravitacional. Não podemos vê-lo, nem sabemos do que é feito, mas ajuda-nos a compreender como se comportam as galáxias, os planetas e as estrelas. Rajendra Gupta , professor de física da Faculdade de Ciências, usou uma combinação de constantes de acoplamento covariantesnordestelink externo(CCC) e “ luz cansadanordestelink externo”Teorias (TL) (o modelo CCC + TL) para chegar a esta conclusão. Este modelo combina duas ideias – sobre como as forças da natureza diminuem ao longo do tempo cósmico e sobre a perda de energia da luz quando viaja uma longa distância. Foi testado e demonstrou corresponder a várias observações, tais como sobre a forma como as galáxias estão espalhadas e como a luz do universo primitivo evoluiu. Esta descoberta desafia a compreensão prevalecente do universo, que sugere que cerca de 27% dele é composto de matéria escura e menos de 5% de matéria comum, permanecendo sendo a energia escura. “As descobertas do estudo confirmam que nosso trabalho anterior (“ Observações iniciais do universo JWST e cosmologia ΛCDMnordestelink externo”) sobre a idade do universo ser 26,7 bilhões de anos nos permitiu descobrir que o universo não requer matéria escura para existir”, explica Gupta. “Na cosmologia padrão, diz-se que a expansão acelerada do universo é causada pela energia escura, mas na verdade se deve ao enfraquecimento das forças da natureza à medida que ela se expande, e não à energia escura.” “Desvios para o vermelho” referem-se a quando a luz é deslocada em direção à parte vermelha do espectro. O pesquisador analisou dados de artigos recentes sobre a distribuição de galáxias em baixos redshifts e o tamanho angular do horizonte sonoro na literatura em altos redshifts. “Existem vários artigos que questionam a existência de matéria escura, mas o meu é o primeiro, que eu saiba, que elimina a sua existência cosmológica, ao mesmo tempo que é consistente com observações cosmológicas chave que tivemos tempo de confirmar”, diz Gupta. Ao desafiar a necessidade de matéria escura no universo e ao fornecer evidências para um novo modelo cosmológico, este estudo abre novos caminhos para explorar as propriedades fundamentais do universo.

Alzheimer's is a disease unique in the lack of treatment dand diagnostic techniques aimed at mitigating it's effects.  To address these issues, researchers at Dr. Clifford Cassidy's neuroscience lab are investigating the use of novel imaging techniques that have great potential to improve both our understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying Alzheimer's and improve our ability to predict the development of it's symptoms. At the heart of these new techniques is a brain structure called the locus coeruleus (LC), which is the primary site of release of a chemical called norepinephrine. It has already been established that gradual degeneration of the LC is an important feature of alzheimer's disease. However, the contribution of this degeneration to development of disease symptoms remains poorly understood due to limitations in existing imaging techniques. To solve this issue, Dr. Casidy's lab is investigating the use of Neuromelanin, a pigment found abundantly in the LC to more accurately detect this structure's degeneration and its relation to Alzheimer's and its symptoms.Learn more: https://www.cliffordcassidy.com/00:00 I Podcast Introduction02:32 I Overview of the Cassidy Lab4:24 I What is NM-MRI?6:40 I Overview of the Paper about NM-MRI9:40 I What is the role of neuroadronergic system in psychotic symptom progression?12:20 I What is the broader role of NM-MRI14:30 I OutroPodcast by Patrick Chary(Host), Abdul Karim Halal (Producer), Elijah Van Dinther (Script), Nicholas Lafreniere (Editor).Soundtrack by the Underground Drive, Song title: Nobody.

Note: This episode contains a discussion of suicide. A list of resources is available below.  In Undoing Suicidism: A Trans, Queer, Crip Approach to Rethinking (Assisted) Suicide (Temple UP, 2023), Alexandre Baril argues that suicidal people are oppressed by what he calls structural suicidism, a hidden oppression that, until now, has been unnamed and under-theorized. Each year, suicidism and its preventionist script and strategies reproduce violence and cause additional harm and death among suicidal people through forms of criminalization, incarceration, discrimination, stigmatization, and pathologization. This is particularly true for marginalized groups experiencing multiple oppressions, including queer, trans, disabled, or Mad people. Undoing Suicidism questions the belief that the best way to help suicidal people is through the logic of prevention. Alexandre Baril presents the thought-provoking argument that supporting assisted suicide for suicidal people could better prevent unnecessary deaths. Offering a new queercrip model of (assisted) suicide, he invites us to imagine what could happen if we started thinking about (assisted) suicide from an anti-suicidist and intersectional framework. Baril provides a radical reconceptualization of (assisted) suicide and invaluable reflections for academics, activists, practitioners, and policymakers. An open access edition of Undoing Suicidism, made available by the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Ottawa, is available here. Alexandre Baril (abaril@uOttawa.ca) is Associate Professor at the University of Ottawa. His work is situated at the crossroads of gender, queer, trans, disability/crip/Mad studies, critical gerontology and critical suicidology. His commitment to equity has earned him awards for his involvement in queer, trans and disabled communities, including the Canadian Disability Studies Association Tanis Doe Francophone Award, and the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion President's Award at the University of Ottawa. A prolific author who won the Young Researcher Award from the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Ottawa (2023), he has given over 200 presentations at the international level and has over 80 publications.

A list of resources is available below.  In Undoing Suicidism: A Trans, Queer, Crip Approach to Rethinking (Assisted) Suicide (Temple UP, 2023), Alexandre Baril argues that suicidal people are oppressed by what he calls structural suicidism, a hidden oppression that, until now, has been unnamed and under-theorized. Each year, suicidism and its preventionist script and strategies reproduce violence and cause additional harm and death among suicidal people through forms of criminalization, incarceration, discrimination, stigmatization, and pathologization. This is particularly true for marginalized groups experiencing multiple oppressions, including queer, trans, disabled, or Mad people. Undoing Suicidism questions the belief that the best way to help suicidal people is through the logic of prevention. Alexandre Baril presents the thought-provoking argument that supporting assisted suicide for suicidal people could better prevent unnecessary deaths. Offering a new queercrip model of (assisted) suicide, he invites us to imagine what could happen if we started thinking about (assisted) suicide from an anti-suicidist and intersectional framework. Baril provides a radical reconceptualization of (assisted) suicide and invaluable reflections for academics, activists, practitioners, and policymakers. An open access edition of Undoing Suicidism, made available by the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Ottawa, is available here. Alexandre Baril (abaril@uOttawa.ca) is Associate Professor at the University of Ottawa. His work is situated at the crossroads of gender, queer, trans, disability/crip/Mad studies, critical gerontology and critical suicidology. His commitment to equity has earned him awards for his involvement in queer, trans and disabled communities, including the Canadian Disability Studies Association Tanis Doe Francophone Award, and the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion President's Award at the University of Ottawa. A prolific author who won the Young Researcher Award from the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Ottawa (2023), he has given over 200 presentations at the international level and has over 80 publications.

Deepfakes have gained steam on video platforms including Tik Tok and Reels. For example, we hear Obama, Trump and Biden ranking their favorite rappers and even playing dungeons and dragons. Does this technology have potential harmful effects?This episode features Claire Boine, an expert in AI law, in conversation with Integrity Institute member Talha Baig, a Machine Learning (ML) Engineer. Claire is a PhD candidate in AI Law at the University of Ottawa, and a Research Associate at the Artificial and Natural Intelligence Toulouse Institute and in the Accountable AI in a Global Context Research Chair at UOttawa. Claire also runs a nonprofit organization whose goal is to help senior professionals motivated by evidence and reason transition into high impact fields including AI. We discuss how deep fakes present an asymmetrical power dynamic and some mitigations we can put in place including data trusts - a collective to put the data back in the hands of users. We also ponder the use of simulacras to replace dead actors and discuss whether we can resurrect dead philosophers by the use of deep learning. Towards the end of the episode, we surmise how chatbots develop bias, and even discuss if AI is sentient and whether that matters.Disclaimer: The views in this episode only represent the views of the people involved in the recording of the episode.

In Herat, Afghanistan, Zahra Hakimi was a faculty member, midwife, family planning trainer, and women's reproductive healthcare provider. She often worked in secret and at personal risk to provide treatment to survivors of sexual assault.  Within a week of taking control of her city, the Taliban raided Hakimi's home. They condemned her work as “anti-Islam.” They threatened her and her husband, and demanded her teenage daughter for a forced marriage. She had no choice: She had to flee.   On Free to Think Hakimi shares her incredible journey, including several attempts to escape Afghanistan, first through Iran, then the United States, and ultimately Canada.  With SAR's help, she is now a visiting researcher at the Centre for Research on Health and Nursing at the University of Ottawa. Since December 2022, the Taliban has banned higher education for women in Afghanistan. Now in Canada, however, Hakimi's daughter hopes to become a dentist. “Every day that my children can go to school” Hakimi says, “my heart is full of joy."

News: Cabless autonomous electric truck approved for US public roads | New Atlas (01:35) Freight technology company Einride first introduced its cabless autonomous electric T-pod truck back in 2017.Couple years later in 2020, it started rolling along Swedish Roads Now the company has been given the green light for operation on public roads in the US. In what Einride claims is a first, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has approved its purpose-built autonomous electric vehicle to operate on public roads in the US, and there'll be no driver in the cab as the Einride Pod doesn't have a cab. The T-pod Truck makes use of an onboard sensor suite:cameras, radars and LiDARs  will be monitored remotely by a human operator If you are curious about the sizing:Each vehicle should measure about 7 meters (23 ft) in length, and be capable of carrying 15 standard pallets worth of cargo.  It will weigh 20 tons with a full load, covering a distance of approximately 200 km (124 miles) on one charge of its 200-kWh battery pack. The public road pilot is due to start in Q3 of this year, where the vehicle will merge with existing fleet operations at a GE Appliances manufacturing facility.Expected to move goods between warehouses and operate on public roads in mixed traffic.   Enzyme reverses muscle loss due to aging and cancer | The Bright Side News (05:25) An international team led by uOttawa Faculty of Medicine researchers have published findings that could contribute to future therapeutics for muscle degeneration due to old age, and diseases such as cancer and muscular dystrophy. Their work demonstrates the importance of the enzyme GCN5 in maintaining the expression of key structural proteins in skeletal muscle.Those are the muscles attached to bone that breathing, posture and locomotion all rely on. GCN5: a well-studied enzyme which regulates multiple cellular processes such as metabolism and inflammation.  Over the span of roughly five years, the uOttawa-led international collaboration painstakingly experimented with a muscle-specific mouse “knockout” of GCN5. In this case, multiple experiments were done to examine the role the GCN5 enzyme plays in muscle fiber.  What they found:A notable decline in muscle health during physical stress, such as downhill treadmill running, a type of exercise known by athletes to cause micro-tears in muscle fibers to stimulate muscle growth.  The affected mice became dramatically weaker as they scurried downhill, like those of old mice, while wild-type mice were not similarly impacted. Dr. Menzies, the senior author of the study, says the findings are akin to what is observed in advanced aging, or myopathies and muscular dystrophy, a group of genetic diseases that result in progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass. Ultimately, the team's research found that GCN5 boosts the expression of key structural muscle proteins, notably dystrophin, and a lack of it will reduce them.This is significant because dystrophin is the body's most important protein for maintaining the membrane of muscle cells, serving as a kind of anchor and cushioning shock absorber in cells of muscles.  Dr. Menzies suggests the research could help to create a foundation for developing therapeutics down the line: “These findings may therefore be useful for the discovery of new therapeutics that regulate GCN5 activity, or its downstream targets, for maintaining healthy muscle during cancer, myopathies, muscular dystrophy or aging,” Scientists develop first-of-its-kind implant that relieves pain without drugs | Interesting Engineering (11:13) Researchers at Northwestern University have developed a device that sounds straight out of science fiction: a small, soft, flexible first-of-its-kind implant that relieves pain on demand, without the use of drugs and dissolves.Could provide a much-needed alternative to opioids and other highly addictive medications. As per the researchers, the device could be highly valuable for patients who undergo routine surgeries or amputations that most often need post-operative medications. Northwestern's John A. Rogers, who led the device's development, in a press release stated:“As engineers, we are motivated by the idea of treating pain without drugs — in ways that can be turned on and off instantly, with user control over the intensity of relief. The technology reported here exploits mechanisms that have some similarities to those that cause your fingers to feel numb when cold. Our implant allows that effect to be produced in a programmable way, directly and locally to targeted nerves, even those deep within surrounding soft tissues.” The device works by wrapping around nerves softly, to deliver precise and targeted cooling.This in turn numbs nerves and blocks pain signals to the brain.  An external pump helps the user to remotely activate the device and control its intensity. Once the device is no longer required, it is naturally absorbed into the body — "bypassing the need for surgical extraction". Why does coolness help with pain?Study co-author Dr. Matthew MacEwan of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis said that as nerves become cooler, the signals that travel through them become slower - eventually stopping completely.  “By delivering a cooling effect to just one or two targeted nerves, we can effectively modulate pain signals in one specific region of the body," The device contains tiny microfluidic channels to induce the cooling effect, while concurrently, a tiny integrated sensor monitors the temperature of the nerve to ensure that it doesn't get too cold, which could damage the tissue. Rodgers talks on the monitoring:"By monitoring the temperature at the nerve, the flow rates can be adjusted automatically to set a point that blocks pain in a reversible, safe manner. On-going work seeks to define the full set of time and temperature thresholds below which the process remains fully reversible." At the thickness of a sheet of paper, the soft, elastic nerve cooling device is ideal for treating highly sensitive nerves.   Scientists Say New James Webb Images Are So Powerful That It Was Emotional Just Looking at Them | Futurism (18:25) While we await the ceremonial release of the first official images taken by NASA's uber-expensive James Webb Space Telescope, early reactions to the long-awaited shots are already sounding pretty promising. NASA's scientific missions lead Thomas Zurbuchen told reporters on Wednesday:“The images are being taken right now… There is already some amazing science in the can, and some others are yet to be taken as we go forward. We are in the middle of getting the history-making data down." NASA plans to release several images on July 12, the inaugural "first light" observations from the space telescope and a potentially groundbreaking moment for the field of astronomy. Zurbuchen admitted he was in his feelings over the new images:“It's really hard to not look at the universe in a new light and not just have a moment that is deeply personal … It's an emotional moment when you see nature suddenly releasing some of its secrets. and I would like you to imagine and look forward to that." The images are expected to include unprecedented views of the depths of the universe and the atmosphere surrounding a distant exoplanet, potentially giving us glimpses of a habitable world other than our own. It's the culmination of over a decade of research, and a $10 billion investment that could soon pay off in a big way.   Elon Musk's Starlink gets FCC green light to beam broadband into moving cars, planes, boats | Business Insider (21:56) SpaceX won approval from the Federal Communications Commission to let its Starlink satellites send broadband internet to moving vehicles on Thursday.Cleared a major hurdle as it has already signed deals with airline carriers including Hawaiian Airlines and exclusive jet firm JSX to provide in-flight WiFi to passengers. "Authorizing a new class of terminals for SpaceX's satellite system will expand the range of broadband capabilities to meet the growing user demands that now require connectivity while on the move, whether driving an RV across the country, moving a freighter from Europe to a US port, or while on a domestic or international flight," the FCC said in its authorization order published Thursday. The FCC's authorization will allow Starlink to pursue deals with transport companies more vigorously.Royal Caribbean became the first cruise line to request Starlink on its ships in June. Starlink also launched a $135 monthly subscription for RVs in May. At launch the company said the internet service could not be used while the RV was in motion.

The uOttawa Graduate School of Public and International Affairs (GSPIA) convened a task force of former senior government officials to recommend the path forward on Canadian national security policy and reform. Their report makes a series of recommendations on strategy, tools, governance, and transparency. In this podcast, Messieurs Rigby and Juneau walk through their key observations. The report is here.

This episode is an audio version of a special live taping of Wonks and War Rooms, in partnership with uOttawa's Centre for Law, Technology and Society, where Elizabeth is joined by a panel of journalists to tackle a tough topic: online harassment of journalists and what it means for our democracy. Rosemary Barton is the Chief Political Correspondent for CBC News; Fatima Syed is a reporter for the Narwhal and host of Canadaland podcast The Backbench; and Mark Blackburn is the social media and online producer at APTN. Elizabeth and the panel look at different types of online negativity, the motivations behind harassment and attacks, and the impacts of weaponizing media. They also talk about different ways of managing online harassment, and how to balance their responsibilities as journalists with protecting themselves as individuals.Additional ResourcesOff the top, Rosemary and Elizabeth mention the day of the live event was not exactly a slow news day. Here's why. This topic brings a bunch of terms that get jumbled together: harassment, abuse, toxicity, negativity, incivility, hate speech, intolerance. This Public Policy Forum report provides a framework for thinking about harmful communication online.Fatima talks about “chilling effects” that online harassment can have on journalists. Here's a report from earlier this year about these kinds of impacts, published by The Canadian Journalism Foundation and the Canadian Association of Journalists.Also, last fall IPSOS ran the first Canadian survey on online harassment against journalists and media professionals, which showed it is “prevalent and pervasive.” Here are the results.Rosemary and Elizabeth discuss trolling and how it has changed over time. This article by Silvio Waisbord looks at the specific impact trolls have on journalism.Rosemary mentions that the pandemic has been a turning point for journalism. This special issue of Digital Journalism has a collection of articles on all the ways that COVID-19 has impacted the work of journalists over the past few years.Check out www.polcommtech.ca for annotated transcripts of this episode in English and French.
