On Oct. 31, 1926, Charles Vance Millar died at his office desk in Toronto.
Then things got weird.
His will stipulated that the bulk of his fortune would go to the woman who had the most children in the next 10 years.
This is the story of The Great Stork Derby.

If you give me 1 hour of your time, I'll give you 5 concrete ways you can safely intervene as a bystander if you witness hate or harassment in public spaces.
It's open to anyone, anywhere aged 12+ and cameras/mics muted, so you're never on the spot!

What are the Perils of Being Born in the Fall? @msmacrophage.bsky.social shared the science behind that question at a community event hosted by the McMaster Institute for Research on Aging. The presentation was fantastic and the Q & A was lively. Terrific and fun #SciComm!
