Not included in the 1974 Nobel prize for the discovery, Bell received a £3m prize for her work in 2018. She's used it to set up a foundation to improve the diversity in STEM.

SFU Science#ClimateChange is transforming ecosystems around the world. As glaciers retreat in northern #BC and Alaska they are creating new habitat for #salmon while also attracting interest from mining companies.
A new study from #SFUBioSci professor Jonathan Moore maps out these emerging land use conflicts, identifies policy blind spots and key opportunities for stewardship. https://www.sfu.ca/sfunews/stories/2023/11/mining-industry-competing-with-salmon-for-rivers-created-by-disa.html #SFUScience #SFU #ecology #fisheries #conservation #aquaticecology #watershed

“It’s about the impact a CBC report is having across Indigenous lands — and how the fallout shows what reconciliation is not.”

DRM-Free e-Books Are Now Available. Here’s Why That’s a Big Deal
Since e-books first emerged as a way for readers to consume content digitally, publishers and authors have required content aggregators to apply Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology to the e-books they sell to libraries to prevent the unauthorized use, copying, and redistribution of these materials. While this practice has given publishers and authors peace of mind that sales won’t be lost to piracy or other unauthorized sharing, it has placed undue restrictions on readers who rely on institutional access to e-books.
KévinI'm a supporter of local libraries, and have been using digital services for years to borrow books. I've been wondering how writers are compensated for digital borrowing and found this great post.
Thank you @janefriedman

AlanThis is a huge benefit of working from home and it needs to be trumpeted from the rooftops. Any company that forces workers back with one side of their face and claims to be caring about the environment out of another should be called out.
