Greetings, my reading friend. I can only presume that you are intent on learning how the billowing saga of straw gas came to an end, and… Let me guess. You have a question. Who were the main protagonists of the University Crisis of 1919, you ask? A good question. From let to right, they were John L. Hogg, Professor of Physics and Head of the Department of Physics, Ira Allan MacKay, Professor of Philosophy and Political Science, Robert Dawson MacLaurin, Professor of Chemistry and Head of the

The theme of Women’s History Month this year is “Through Her Lens: Celebrating the Diversity of Women.” There are many accomplished women in Canada who deserve to be celebrated this month.

Good morning, good afternoon or good evening, my reading friend. Yours truly dares to hope that life is treating you kindly. This is certainly not the case for everyone. Sigh… I would like to speak with you today about a topic related to an upcoming exhibition topic at the fabulous Canada Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa, Ontario, and to an area of research of the Canadian Science and Technology of Canada, also located in Ottawa, a museal institution which is not too bad. Sorry, sorry. The

Hei, min lesevenn, hvordan går det? Det går bra. Takk for at du spør. Again, sorry for starting the second part of this article with three sentences in Norwegian. All right, let us begin. In late December 1912, in other words very soon after the miniature Cadillac mentioned in the first part of this article was presented to a blisteringly ecstatic Prince Olav, heir to the throne of Norway, the main representative of Cadillac Motor Car Company in the United Kingdom, Frederick Stanley “Fred”

I joined Ingenium last Fall as the 2022-23 Research Fellow in Sound and Science, working with curators and international researchers on a database project called Sound and Science: a Database for Sources on the History of Acoustics. As a pianist, I have always had an interest in the study of sound; however, this project led me to re-evaluate, reconsider, and think more creatively about the acoustic elements of the different instruments I play and the different performance spaces I perform in
