Daughters. Sisters. Friends. Students. Engineers. Women.

We remember Polytechnique. We remember them.

Why isn’t Richard Feynman your personal hero?

#AskEthan

Feynman made enormous contributions to a huge variety of areas in physics, and was beloved by oh so many.

But he isn't someone we should strive to be like. Here's why.

Did you know there will be a solar eclipse next Monday, April 8th? The sun will only be partially eclipsed in Vancouver, but you can still see it with eclipse glasses. The Trottier Observatory @sfutrottobs will be giving out glasses for FREE that day! https://t.co/kKQFeKtkBE

[Canadian Association for Girls in Science (CAGIS) @GirlsInScience]

CAGIS is deeply saddened by the loss of Dr. Anne Innis Dagg (1933-2024), the first western scientist to study giraffes in the wild and groundbreaking advocate for gender equity in science.
