Budget 2025 recognizes the importance of science and innovation.
Canada’s ability to recruit and retain top research talent—especially in rapidly evolving fields like quantum—will be a defining factor in our future competitiveness.

What does the end of the universe look like?
@astrokatie.com shares a glimpse of what modern astrophysics tells us about the ultimate fate of the cosmos, and what the catastrophic destruction of all reality would look like to anyone still around to see it.

What’s next for quantum information & gravity?
A Stanford PhD student shares how tabletop experiments could soon test if gravity is truly quantum. Moving from theory to experiment may finally reshape our understanding of one of physics’ biggest questions.
