It’s widely considered one of the single most influential documents of the 20th century, referred to as “the conscience of mankind” by Pope John Paul II.

Sometimes the person best equipped to explain what goes on in a doctor’s office isn’t a doctor, it’s an anthropologist. Dr. Margaret Lock started her academic career in biochemistry, but after a visit to Japan she was compelled to switch disciplines and got a PhD in anthropology. She went on to start one of the world’s preeminent Medical Anthropology programs, at McGill University.

Canada’s flag, with its vivid red bars and iconic maple leaf, is an international symbol of Canadian identity. But the first models of our flag, flown in 1965, were failures. Outdoors, the colours faded quickly from red to orange, and the white cloth turned a dingy gray.

Canadian flags were made from a single piece of nylon taffeta fabric without
