I have to believe in the many worlds hypothesis because, somehow, we ended up in the worst of all possible worlds. I have to believe worlds that evaded this horrific fate must exist.

Gutted to learn of the passing of Dr Kirsty Duncan.
She was a tireless fighter for the people she served, not only her local community in Toronto but others, especially the science & research &
athletics communities too.
She championed equity, diversity, inclusion and made change happen.
