Dans cet épisode capté devant public lors du Symposium de sciences biologiques de l'Université de Montréal, on accueille l'écrivain-entomologiste Charles-Étienne Ferland. Il nous raconte ses nombreuses métamorphoses professionnelles, de la recherche à l'éducation, en passant par les communications scientifiques et l'écriture.Il partage sa fascination pour le monde foisonnant des insectes, s'attarde sur le déclin préoccupant des papillons monarques, et nous fait découvrir un projet de science participative mené avec l'Insectarium de Montréal. La discussion prend ensuite une tournure créative : comment la démarche scientifique nourrit-elle son imaginaire littéraire ? De l'entomofiction aux récits sur les changements climatiques, il nous ouvre les portes d'un univers où science et création se rencontrent.Bonne écoute!— LIENS —Site web personnel Mission Monarque de l'InsectariumSa collection de roman— INFOS —Co-animation : Marie-Christine Lafrenière et Stéphanie Shousha; Communications: Leia Lafrance et Éloïse Archaumbault; Montage: Isabelle Tessier; Studio d'enregistrement : Bibliothèque des sciences du Campus MIL de l'Université de Montréal

Flanders: A Featured BiographyIn a dramatic Senate floor speech on March 9, 1954, Vermont senator Ralph E. Flanders became one of the first members of the Republican Party to denounce fellow senator Joseph McCarthy's methods in fighting communism. Flanders introduced the resolution that would eventually lead to McCarthy's censure by the Senate on December 2, 1954. Reflecting on this battle, Flanders later wrote, “The conviction grew that something must be done about this, even if I had to do it myself.” During his two-term Senate career, Flanders served on a number of key committees, including Armed Services, Banking, and Finance. Although he had no official college diploma, Flanders received 16 honorary degrees and was an accomplished mechanical engineer and inventor in the field of machine tools from a young age until his death in 1970. 10:00 to 11:00Doris Sumner, AuthorMemoir: Life at CampGender Discrimination and Sexual Harassment: Alive and Well in the MilitaryU.S. military veteran, author, and diversity consultant focused on fostering gender equality in the workplace.

Battery electric vehicles will cost an extra $89 annually, and plug-in hybrids will get charged an additional $44.50. Given the number of electric cars on the road, this is expected to raise $1.7 million in 2026. Money from the fees on EVs will be set aside to fund more electric vehicle chargers. None will go to fix Vermont's roads. At least not until the state creates a Mileage-Based User Fee (MBUF), which won't happen until at least 2026.
