Archaeologist who tied the Norse and Newfoundland together has died
A celebrated archeologist who unraveled the story of the Norse and the only acknowledged Norse site in North America has died.
Birgitta Wallace proved that L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland was the site of Leif Eriksson's base in Vinland.
Adjunct archeology professor Shannon Lewis-Simpson says though Wallace was a titan in her field, she was known among her peers for being modest, kind and generous with her time and expertise.
Wallace died last week in Halifax while in hospital. She was 91.

London school raises thousands for Canadian Cancer Society through Relay for Life
Hundreds of students participated in AB Lucas Secondary School's Relay for Life Friday. 'I think it's really something special when you get to see a group of, you know, young, passionate students who are really motivated to, you know, make a difference and do charitable things,' said Kevin Birball of the Canadian Cancer Society (CSS). The school's goal is to raise $150,000 to donate to the CCS. 'I think we're definitely on track to hit our goal if everything goes as planned, which is really exciting. And just thinking about the way that you see the whole school community come together, for one cause, you know, cancer, something that affects all of us. And you never know who's been affected. You come out to this event, and you hear people share their stories and hear about why they participate. And it's just really cool to see the way that everyone unites,' said relay organizer and Grade 12 student Carissa Vanoostveen. 'I just want everybody to get involved. I think it's a really good cause. And I think, like, no matter how much you do or how much like you put into it, it's worth it in every way,' added co-organizer and Grade 12 student Nathalie Gasparotto. At the start of the day, online donations had already surpassed $115,000, with plenty of cash donations left to count. To date, the school has raised over $1.5 million dollars and is the top earning school in Canada. 'All of these hard-earned fundraising dollars will go to our mission at CCS, for cancer research, support programs, and advocacy purposes. These kids are making a huge, huge difference in the mission at CCS and supporting some of people affected by cancer,' said Matt O'Brien, Canadian Cancer Society.

Young minds explore big questions at National Science Fair
Sarah Plowman has the story of the 63rd annual Canada-wide Science Fair in Fredericton, N.B. showcasing some of the country's brightest scientific minds. Canada's brightest whiz kids converged on Fredericton, N.B., this week for a national science fair, showing off their research projects and hoping to earn a chance to win some of the event's $1.3 million in prize and scholarship money. Reni Barlow, executive director of Youth Science Canada, said his organization is on a mission to engage youth in doing projects through STEM -- Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. 'It's a way of understanding what science, technology, engineering and math are really about and experiencing it firsthand,' said Barlow, adding that topics range from aerospace to natural resources and climate change. The nearly 400 students competing were previously recognized at one of 100 regional science fairs in Canada. Six universities are providing scholarships to medal winners. The weeklong event wraps up this weekend. Sara Waqas, a 16-year-old from Calgary's STEM Innovation Academy High School, won the award for Best Project in the Discovery category. She focused her project on schizophrenia and treatment, developing a prototype molecule that would target schizophrenia patients who are currently treatment-resistant—which she points out is about a third of patients. 'I look into neurobiological profiling,' she said. 'I designed a prototype molecule that would target those defects, rather than just being like a large, nonspecific treatment.' Waqas says her research is all 'very preliminary' and that more validation tests and research need to confirm it. Evan Budz, a grade 9 student from Dr. Frank J. Hayden Secondary School in Burlington, Ont., won the award for Best Project in the Innovation category. After getting inspired by the fluid movement of a snapping sea turtle, he created a robot that moves like one. 'I thought it'd be interesting to try to replicate it with a robot that would have a much lower impact on the swimming environment, compared with more traditional propeller-based systems,' he said. Budz's robot uses artificial intelligence (AI) to detect and monitor threats in aquatic environments, such as invasive species and coral bleaching. 'I'm working at adding more in the future,' he said. 'This allows a variety of important organizations to go and conduct remedial efforts in these areas, essentially allowing them to improve the health of aquatic ecosystems.' Mateo Jarquin, a first-year CEGEP student at Champlain College-Lennoxville in Sherbrooke, Que., developed a robotic hand called F.L.E.X (Fully Leveraged Exo-Hand). The hand tracks and mirrors finger movements in real time and can be remotely controlled from anywhere in the world with a camera. It doesn't require gloves or physical attachments. His cousin, who lives in Ontario, tested it and was able to control the robotic hand. 'And he was able to control the robotic hand from Ontario all the way to Quebec, as if it was his actual hand in front of me,' he said. 'This type of technology could one day be used to perform tasks that are too dangerous for humans, such as disarming a bomb or performing space station repairs. Maybe even surgery from across the world could all be possible.' Sarah McGrath, a grade 10 student at Halifax Grammar School in Nova Scotia, focused her project on whether she could make fish feed for aquaculture by growing microalgae with recycled fish byproducts, like bones, tails and eyes. 'This microalgae is rich in Omega-3s, which is important because fish don't produce Omega-3,' she said, noting that the important dietary nutrient for human health is sourced from what fish eat. She said her method is a cost-effective and sustainable way to grow microalgae. 'This matters because fish stocks are depleting and the quality of our fish is rapidly decreasing,' she said. 'My results show that there's potential to use even more fish byproducts and utilize this waste that exists.' Amy Clark, a 15-years-old from Sanford Collegiate in Sanford, Man., combined her passion for physics and the environment into a research topic and looked at which Prairie province has the highest amount of radon in its soil. In her study, where she sampled soil from a few spots in Manitoba, along with Regina and Calgary, Manitoba had the highest levels of radon. She explained that increased levels of radon in soil can attribute to health risks, noting that radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. As fun as it was to build the project, Clark is also excited to be at nationals, saying the event is more than just talking about your project. 'It's about making friends and meeting new people. Connecting with people who are like-minded individuals,' she said. 'They love science. You love science, so they're really easy to talk to you.'

Fishermen spot pod of killer whales off Cape Breton
Lobster fishermen in northern Cape Breton got an up-close glimpse of a pod of killer whales this week, a sighting that a marine biologist says is on the rise. Bernie Lamey was hauling lobster traps on Monday not far off Cape Smokey, a famous Cabot Trail landmark, when a couple of orcas started circling the boat. Within 10 minutes, the fishermen had spotted about a dozen. The orcas seemed to be in a playful mood. "They came around our boat, bumped into the boat, rolled around, showed their bellies, [came] up and had a little look at us," he told CBC's Information Morning Cape Breton. "They almost looked like they were more interested in us than we were of them. It was pretty spectacular." Lamey said he knew right away they were killer whales by their distinctive black-and-white colouring. "That's a pretty hard whale to miss," he said. "We get to see all kinds of marine life out there.... Looking down in the water and seeing something that's only three feet away from you that's the size of your boat is pretty impressive." At least one whale stayed several hundred metres away, but Lamey said he knew it was an orca, too, because its dorsal fin was nearly two metres tall. "The fact that they were killer whales and the fact that there was 10 or 12 of them there at one time and they decided to stay and play for a few minutes was just an experience that I'll never forget." Elizabeth Zwamborn, a marine biologist and a professor at Trinity Western University in B.C., runs an annual survey of pilot whales off northern Cape Breton. They're black like orcas, but don't have white patches on their cheeks and have smaller dorsal fins. It's possible to mistake juvenile white-beaked dolphins as juvenile orcas because they're both black and white, but Zwamborn said the videos and photos she's seen this week off Cape Breton are definitely killer whales. Zwamborn said only one orca has been seen inshore in the 27 years the study has been running. They're more commonly spotted farther out in the North Atlantic off Newfoundland and Labrador or in the Arctic. Climate change is affecting the ocean's temperature, bringing North Atlantic right whales into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Belugas have also left the Gulf and headed to Cape Breton, but it's not clear why they wandered so far from home. This year, orcas have been seen off Cape Breton near Money Point, Cape Smokey and Flint Island, Zwamborn said. It could be the same pod, or it could be more than one.
