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

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.

Proud that the presidents of all four colleges with which our family is associated, @wesleyanuniversity.bsky.social, @univofvirginia.bsky.social, @mcdanielcollege.bsky.social, and @yale.edu, have signed this statement. We hope more college leaders add their names.

#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.

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.
