Scientists must be free to learn, to speak and to challenge

"Science is humanity's best effort at uncovering the truth about our world, about our very existence." Kirsty Duncan, Canada's Minister of Science, makes the case that researchers must be free to present uncomfortable truths and challenge the thinking of the day -- and that we all have a duty to speak up when we see science being stifled or suppressed. #ScienceAroundMe

Hi there, my reading friend. Yours truly is pleased to welcome you. We have so much to say (type?) today on the Cushioncraft CC7 hovercraft. And yes, there will be plenty of content from Québec and Canada. Our story began in May 1969, in Montréal, Québec, in the city’s busy harbour to be more precise, when the partly disassembled prototype of the CC7 was unshipped, put on the trailer of an 18 wheel truck and sent to a Department of Transport base at Sorel, Québec. A division of the Saint

Good day to you, my reading friend. Let us begin this issue of our blog / bulletin / thingee with a question. Have you ever wanted to own a small flying machine you could use to get to work or visit friends? Yes? No? Never mind. Regardless of your interest, or lack thereof, may I invite you to press onward and downward - which may not be a good idea when flying at low altitude, but I digress. This week’s story came to us straight from the pages of the monthly American Helicopter, more

Using a mechanic’s stethoscope, more specifically a Motor Stethoscope, to pinpoint a problem in the engine of an automobile. “Advertising – Motor Stethoscope Company.” Air, June 1928, 43.

An indispensable device for locating sounds caused by defects

Hello there, my reading friend. Are you ready to be submerged by waves of pontificating prose? That’s too bad because you will not get that today. Yours truly was sure there was plenty of information on the mechanic’s stethoscope we just saw in an ad published in the June 1928 issue of a long forgotten magazine, the British monthly Air. Sadly enough, I struck out. So, let’s go over the basics. Back in the 1910s and 1920s, listening to a misbehaving piece of machinery was one of the most

Welcome and bienvenue, my reading friend. Are you ready to hear about one of the crucial aspects of the history of technology? Yes? Welcome, then, to the world of failure. You seem surprised. Don’t you know that most aircraft designs of the 20th and 21st centuries have been failures? Not every aircraft design was actually put to the test and a great many that were tested were never put in production. Worse still, many operational aircraft did not prove successful, for a variety of reasons. So

Emerging tech: Bacteria-based sensors could detect pipeline leaks

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

Petroleum pipeline leaks are costly – for business and for the environment. Researchers are now developing bacteria-based sensors to detect hydrocarbons released by a leak – and emit a wireless alert signal to technicians.

On Thin Ice - Athabasca Glacier Expedition Photo Gallery

LTE Program Assistant

Lets Talk Energy and Will Gadd descended into Alberta’s Athabasca Glacier to explore the effects of climate change on the glacier. The team was joined by Martin Sharp, a glaciologist from the University of Alberta who helped explain the impacts that climate change has had, and will have, on the area in general and the ice fields in particular. For more information on the glacier expedition read: On Thin Ice - Athabasca Glacier Expedition.

Bonjour, ami(e) lectrice ou lecteur et… Sorry, wrong language. Greetings, my reading friend. I hope you’re not wearing your best clothes because today’s topic is a somewhat yucky one. Do you remember the April 2018 issues of our blog / bulletin / thingee dedicated to snow removal? No? Yes? Never mind, for there are no snow cones on the menu today. Think mud pies. Huge mud pies actually. Back in 1946-47, some brilliant minds in the United Kingdom began to look at non aeronautical applications of

Sunscreen is damaging a vital ecosystem: Coral reefs

Lindsay Wolcott

When the mercury rises, most of us reach for the sunscreen – believing we are doing something positive by protecting against cancer-causing rays. But research shows that oxybenzone—a common ingredient in sunscreen—is disrupting coral’s reproduction and growth cycles. The good news is there are alternatives that, if implemented, could save the precious ecosystem of coral reefs around the world.
