I apparently got my PhD so that, after I do something particularly stupid, my wife can give me a long stare and say "good job, doctor Heit".

We can still bring in international students, but not as many as in the past (nor as many as most universities planned for). The cap includes MSc and PhD students, so visa availability is down across the board.

I'm not sure website views are a meaningful metric. Regardless, at an undergrad/grad level, Canada has reduced student visas which has reduced international student enrollment.

Not exactly. Operating funds to provide undergraduate educational programs is mostly provincial. Money that supports scientific research is almost entierly federal - by a factor of 10:1, if not more

While I've never seen the supreme court in action, I did have the unfortunate experience of serving on a provincial court jury last year. That experience didn't exactly give me faith in the robustness of our justice system, nor in the capabilities of our judges.

I'm torn, as being hurried with cheese still tops my list. It's a gouda way to go.

Pollen tends to clump in water, but mounting in glycerol usually works well. Over time glycerol can fade some of the pigments though. For permanent slides, pollen is usually washed in concentrated KOH and then mounted.

Thank you!

Thank you!

And we need it for a truely essential oil - immersion oil!

There are macrophages, and then all the other riff-raff.
