1940 : Annus Mirabilis for Nova Scotia Science : Dawson, Laurence, Avery , MacLeod ...
If you are a young Nova Scotian , determinedly outbound to greener (oil-stained) pastures in Alberta , you may not believe the following post - it was , after all , published on April 1st.
You may not believe it because it involves Nova Scotians at the forefront of scientific issues so important that even you - grasshopper - have heard of them once or twice.
And you definitely won't believe that these Nova Scotians did it all on their own nickel - without any government grants - working after hours : evenings, weekends and holidays.
Google the names of these Nova Scotian scientists , grasshopper , they really do exist :
