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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

Listen to my episode about him here 👇

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.

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...

“Academic freedom is not a special perk. It is the necessary precondition for experimenting, innovating, taking risks and challenging orthodoxy.”
