Experiencing Hubble: Free Video Lecture on the Hubble Space Telescope
Posted in lecture, Media, news, science on February 2, 2012 by saskskepticThe Great Courses company has a free lecture on the Hubble Space Telescope. Go here to see the lecture.
I have mixed feeling about “The Great Courses”. I like the lectures they have to offer but I am really tired of their constant emails and catalogs they send out. Get on their mailing list at your mailboxes peril.
Philosophy in the Community: Søren Kierkegaard: Existentialist Critic of the Present Age
Posted in Event, lecture, Saskatoon on February 2, 2012 by saskskepticThe next Philosophy in the Community is Feb. 8 at 7:00pm
The RefinerySt. James Church Basement
609 Dufferin Avenue
(at 12th Street, just off Broadway)
Professor Leslie Howe
Søren Kierkegaard was the first existentialist philosopher and a trenchant critic of the superficialities and excesses of modernism. His critique of modernity has made him a favourite of postmodernists but he would have given them equally short shrift. This talk will present an overview of Kierkegaard’s critique of triviality, bombast, and pusillanimity in philosophy, religion, and society, a critique that remains as pertinent to us as it was to 1840s Europe.
Canadian Science and Engineering Hall of Fame
Posted in Event, news, Saskatoon on February 1, 2012 by saskskepticThe Saskatoon Western Development Museum has a display from the Canadian Science and Engineering Hall of Fame, which will run until Feb. 26.
Have you ever driven over the Broadway Bridge in Saskatoon? If so, do you know who designed it and supervised its construction? The answer is Chalmers Jack Mackenzie, Dean of Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan.
Do you use a cell phone or smart phone? Ever thought about who came up with the idea for a telephone and who built the first one? The answer is Alexander Graham Bell, who also worked to develop methods to help deaf children speak.
Have you wondered who assisted the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in investigating suspicious deaths? In Saskatchewan, from 1922 to 1942 it was the Provincial Pathologist, Frances Gertrude McGill, who in 1946 was made Honourary Surgeon to the RCMP.
