We live in an age of epistemic populism . This means that the key drivers of what you feel and believe are rooted in things which are demonstrably untrue. This is not a good thing . This is a bad thing. University education is a stalwart against this . We need more not less

Our attempt to get to Eureka Sunday was unsuccessful due to bad weather in Resolute Bay. Not sure when the next attempt will be.

I was surprised and saddened to hear of the passing of Marc Garneau I met him in Ottawa at Agence spatiale canadienne when I was a grad student. He had been in space then, and was pretty famous, but still had time to be nice to a student. RIP.
