Elizabeth May Introduces Open Science Private Member’s Bill
On Thursday, June 18th, 2015 in Press Releases
OTTAWA — Elizabeth May, Member of Parliament for Saanich-Gulf Islands and Leader of the Green Party of Canada introduced her open science private member’s bill in the House of Commons today. The bill would make all publicly funded scientific research publicly accessible by law.
Ms. May stated: “My bill will ensure that no prime minister can ever bury government science again. While this problem is not new, the Harper years have seen a shocking burial of evidence into places where Canadians will never see it. The work our scientists do is too important to be hidden from view, simply because it is inconvenient to the Prime Minister’s agenda. The challenges we face require an open and transparent engagement with the facts.”
Lynne Quarmby Green Party Science critic and candidate for Burnaby North-Seymour added: “Democracy only works when everyone has the facts. When a government suppresses scientific evidence, especially from research that the public has funded, democracy is subverted. This is critically true for evidence that contradicts decisions driven by ideology. The private members bill tabled by Elizabeth May will ensure timely public access to publicly funded data.”
Ms. May concluded: “If we are going to survive this century, we need to move away from decision-based evidence-making and truly make evidence-based decisions. Public access to publicly funded science would help ensure that the government relies on the facts, not on ideology. Science is too important to democracy to be kept in a government vault.”

Holographic pyramid creates a world on your table - short demo video http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-33152667
An interactive holographic display that can create 3D digital worlds inside a special pyramid shaped display has raised more than four times its crowdfunding target.
The device, developed by Vancouver based H+Technology, sits on a table top and can be viewed from numerous different angles. Using a smartphone or tablet users can interact with 3D objects 'inside' the pyramid.
The company hopes that the device will help people to interact with technology more naturally in groups, rather than alone.

Doctors warn against dangers of skinny jeans after woman becomes fashion victim: Don't squat
LONDON - Attention wearers of skinny jeans: don't squat — at least not for long.
Doctors in Australia report that a 35-year-old woman was hospitalized for four days after experiencing muscle damage, swelling, and nerve blockages in her legs after squatting for several hours while wearing tight-fitting denims.
"We were surprised that this patient had such severe damage to her nerves and muscles," said Dr. Thomas Kimber of the Royal Adelaide Hospital in Australia, in an email.
The patient, who was not identified, spent most of the previous day helping someone move, squatting for long periods while emptying cupboards. Clad in skinny jeans, the woman said they felt increasingly tight and her feet were numb as she walked home, making her trip and fall. Unable to get up, she spent several hours stranded outside before getting to the hospital. Kimber and colleagues published a report about the case online Monday in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry.
Kimber said tight jeans have previously been reported to cause nerve lesions in the groin but not the kind of nerve problems in the lower leg and severe muscle damage they saw. He said squatting compressed the nerves in the lower leg, reducing the blood supply to the calf muscles and that the skinny jeans worsened the problem.
After being treated for four days — and having her jeans cut off — the woman still had some weakness in her legs but walked out of the hospital and later recovered fully.
