On November 1, Governor General (GG) Julie Payette was a keynote speaker at the Canadian Science Policy Conference in Ottawa. She touched upon a variety of issues including climate change, horoscopes, the origin of life, alternative medicine and divine “intervention.” In this piece I would like to focus on her comments regarding religion and[…]
