A spliced, three-part image depicts a green-and-red plastic gadget attached to a cow’s tail, a composite image showing hundreds of meteors, and a close-up of a pair of glasses sitting on top of an open book.

A slightly tardy Merry Christmas, my reading friend, even though yours truly must admit this is an odd Christmas indeed. It occurred to me that a toy, or a toy manufacturing firm, could be an appropriate topic for this week’s issue of our blog / bulletin / thingee. A toy I may well have come across when I was very young. You know, before Noah and the Ark. When I had hair. And no, I am not bitter, but I shall be brief. Before the First World War, the war to end all wars (!?), Canada had no toy

A very successful vehicle and, dare I type it, a sidehill gouger of the farm tractor industry: The Moline Universal Tractor

I offer you an agricultural greeting on this December day, my reading friend. Assuming you are passionate about aviation, yours truly is afraid you will not have much to sink your fangs into. Sorry. Have you by any chance read the fascinating article which appeared in a November 2021 issue of our blog / bulletin / thingee about the Beeman Junior or Model G garden tractor / walking tractor of the American firm Beeman Garden Tractor Company? Ah, that is too bad. You are therefore forcing me to

A three-part, spliced image of a crate of cucumbers inside a greenhouse, an artist’s illustration of asteroids and spacecraft, and a digital blood glucose monitor and insulin needle.

3 things you should know about artificial intelligence, planetary defence, and insulin

Michelle Campbell Mekarski, PhD

“Green acres is the place to be. Farm livin’ is the life for me:” The American firm Beeman Garden Tractor Company and the Beeman Junior or Model G garden tractor / walking tractor

Rénald Fortier

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

It is with some nostalgia that yours truly quoted the first pair of lines from the title song of the popular American situation comedy Green Acres. I remember watching quite a few episodes of the French language version of that satirical and surreal television show originally broadcasted between September 1965 and April 1971. The first episode of Les arpents verts, a series dubbed in France by French actors, was broadcasted in Québec in September 1966. The last one presumably came out in April

The Mobile Demonstration Irradiator put together by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited. Anon., “Boon to Canadian potato industry.” Saskatoon Star-Phoenix, 21 October 1961, 6.

Do you remember seeing The Amazing Potato exhibition when it was presented at the National Museum of Science of Technology, in Ottawa, Ontario (1991-94), or at the Agriculture Museum, also in Ottawa (1994-2000), my reading friend? No? You saw it at the Potato Museum, in O’Leary, Prince Edward Island, after that date, between 2000 and 2012 perhaps? Wunderbar! It was a great exhibition, was it not? Need I mention that all of these museal institutions are now, in 2021, known by other monikers? Yes

A composite image of several orange pumpkins, a spacecraft next to a rocky body, and a zombie

3 things you should know about pumpkins, Trojan asteroids, and embracing your inner zombie

Michelle Campbell Mekarski, PhD

Canada Science and Technology Museum

For the October edition, our science advisors discuss how selective breeding results in more choice at the pumpkin patch, a fly-by of seven Trojan asteroids, and why you need to embrace your “inner zombie.” Happy Halloween!

As a member of the species Homo sapiens, or wise man in English, an oxymoron of oxymorons if there is one, my reading friend, you must eat to survive. Agriculture played / plays a crucial role in this survival of humanity which over time became an almost exponential growth in population which threatens the balance, and even perhaps the survival of the Earth’s ecosystem. I would like to share a few words with you today about one of the pioneers of agricultural science in Québec and Canada

A spliced, three-part image shows plants growing out of water tubes on the left, a black-and-white image of Ganymede in the centre, and two blue butterflies on a flower on the right.
