For over four decades, David Suzuki helped shape how Canadians understand science, nature, and our place in the world—through the CBC.

This short tribute captures the heart of that legacy:

Poilievre’s been on the public payroll since he was 24—with the biggest taxpayer-funded pension in history coming his way. But he calls CBC “government funded” like it’s a smear? That’s not accountability. That’s hypocrisy.

In our Fossil Marine Reptiles Gallery, you’ll find several of her spectacular finds. Two centuries later, her fossils discoveries continue to captivate visitors from around the world.

We hope you enjoyed learning more the historical figures that have shaped our understanding of the natural world. 👩‍🔬

#Nudibranch superpowers! I'm updating the blog on my website with tidepool meanderings, starting with nudibranchs. Here is my Monterey #tidepool favorite, Hopkin's Rose. It uptakes its color from its prey, Rosy Bryozoan.

Richard Fortey obituary Palaeontologist at the Natural History Museum who was also a bestselling science writer and accomplished TV presenter

I’m so sad to hear the news that Richard Fortey is no longer with us. He was a brilliant palaeontologist, writer and tv presenter - and a lovely person. I had the pleasure of interviewing him and working with him. He was so passionate about sharing his science.
