Scott was a wonderful colleague, and mentor. It was truly a privilege to work alongside such a kind, dedicated, and thoughtful colleague. I know that he will be missed by all of us who knew him. It is a crushing and devastating loss.

What a loss. Scott Moir was instrumental in getting me to grad school. I quoted him in a podcast interview I did just over a week ago. You'll be missed, Scott. Say hi to Memere for me, she remained impressed by your ability to eat her food for years.

Or to put it another way, overseas students now subsidise the cost of teaching each UK undergraduate by an average of £2,500 each. Take them away and you've got an absolutely existential crisis for universities.

I feel like I have seen a lot of dosage issues with JAMP made medications? Makes me a little nervous for my own meds.

We are alarmed by Tim Houston's attempt to control academic research in Nova Scotia. This sets a dangerous precedent, posing a danger to current and future research. Long-term research should not be impacted by partisan issues of the day. researchns.ca/2025/05/01/n...

Jean Béliveau is wearing a red Montreal Canadiens jersey with a "C" on it, holding a CCM hockey stick and glove. He stands in front of a rack of hockey sticks, smiling.
I'm sharing an image a day to celebrate the vibrant and unique culture and history of Canada.
Today is is Montreal Canadiens captain Jean Beliveau in 1963.

The photo is a black-and-white illustration depicting a scene of early surveying or exploration. In the foreground, a man is seated on the ground, deeply engrossed in using a surveying instrument, likely a theodolite or similar device, to measure angles or directions. He is dressed in period clothing, suggesting a historical setting. Around him are various tools and equipment, including a notebook, a triangular frame, and what appears to be a compass or another surveying tool.
David Thompson travelled 90,000 km across North America, mapping 4.9 million square kilometres.
He was the greatest land geographer in history and my favourite historical figure.
This is his amazing story.

Oh so very happy that I didn't vote for the Conservative candidate in my riding. This was in our local Cape Breton newspaper yesterday...
I have no words, other than pathetic.
Hands holding up signs featuring photos of researchers, a university classroom and a teacher helping a student. In the background, and illustration of the White House. Text that reads "Protecting academic freedom and our democracy: The role of faculty unions."
“Academic freedom is not a special perk. It is the necessary precondition for experimenting, innovating, taking risks and challenging orthodoxy.”

A yellow Elections Canada sign with a red maple leaf and black "X" logo reads "VOTE" with a left arrow. In the blurred background, a person in a blue coat walks on a street.
Canada went through its 45th federal election last night.
Let's see how the election's results compare with others in Canadian history.
The voter turnout was about 67%. Canada has not exceeded 70% since 1993. This was the third-highest turnout of the 21st century.

A sense of relief, certainly, but also surprise to see so much of my Northern Ontario flip to blue.
