Thank you, Barbara! ⚡
As the child of Greenpeace founders, who has worked on Greenpeace campaigns, I can say with confidence that if my parents were alive today, they d be working right alongside me, stumping for Emily Lowan. At 26 she's already a proven quantity, leading successful lights against the fossil fuel industry (with Divest UVic), and for human rights. Her intelligence, energy and track record give me hope. However dire our problems look, I know that Emily will always serve the people in her riding. Barbara Stowe BC-based writer and activist, a member of Greenpeace's founding family

A UVic PhD student dropped underwater mics into a B.C. bay and caught two rockfish species making sound for the first time ever recorded, in the wild or the lab. An AI model can now tell all 8 local fish apart by voice alone, 88% accurate.

Yeah, sorry. Probably contributing to that in that my daughter who was nine when we first visited is now at UVic.

The Petch Fountain at UVic, friend of my youth. Swam in it (blech), passed out on a bench after binge drinking at the SUB (urg), did my required reading there as well. So many years ago. Fall always reminds me of my undergrad days. #photography

This is interesting. It makes me want to do a comparative piece on the 12th/13th centuries & the 17th/18th centuries. Maybe Simon Devereaux would co-write it with me. I live only 100km from UVic & see him a couple times a year. I’m going to ask him the next time I see him. Thanks for posting this.
