- “We’re number two! We’re number two!” U.S. News still exists (online) and does lots of rankings. They recently named Canada the second best country overall, just behind Germany. Canada received solid points for entrepreneurship, quality of life, and for being “open for business.”
- How are the country’s PhDs doing? It’s tough to say. The Canadian Association of University Teachers says one in three university professors are on temporary or part-term contracts, but then a Globe article reports that one in three PhD graduates are in tenure-track positions somewhere in the world.
- Revenge of the Nerds. Obscure 80’s comedy? Or chilling premonition of things to come? The Ontario Provincial Police have announced that they will hold a job fair specifically to target tech grads, helping the force to prepare for disruptive technologies. That actually seems like a pretty smart idea.
- Speaking of disruptive change, the World Economic Forum released an insightful report on The Future of Jobs, which is definitely worth a read.

- Rob Annan went on the CBC to talk about a new Mitacs research paper. That paper, Leveraging Canada’s Innovation Ecosystem, looks at Canada’s strengths and challenges in attracting foreign investment in R&D.
- NSERC President Mario Pinto discussed some of the challenges facing NSERC, and the council’s strategic plan for the next few years.
- Here’s an article about some of the head-games PhD students play when deciding when it’s time to leave academia. Apparently, the proportion of PhDs in the US who manage to secure tenured positions is about 1 in 200.
- An article about student debt in the US highlights that students loan debt now exceeds credit card debt and auto-loans.

These 4 Foods Will Be All the Rage in 2016 | Mother Jones
Over to the Kuli Kuli Foods table, where women in acid-green aprons peddle samples of bars made of moringa, a leafy plant that Time recently deemed the new kale. Kuli Kuli is the first US company marketing moringa. Its founder, Lisa Curtis, first learned about the plant while in Peace Corps in Niger in 2010. Feeling malnourished on the local diet, she was urged to try the nutrient-dense moringa plant, which is high in calcium, protein, amino acids, and vitamin C. The plant grows super fast and thrives in hot, dry climates. Curtis realized that locals weren't marketing the superfood because they had no international market, so she set out to create one in the US by importing the plant in powder form. Aside from fueling her own fruit and nut bar company, she tells me that local juice joints around San Francisco are picking it up for use in smoothies. (Side note: Fidel Castro is a huge moringa fan.)I want to love moringa. If the current California drought is any predictor, we're going to need plants that survive harsher conditions and provide such an impressive array of nutrients. But this one tastes rather grassy, and goes down like a shot of wheatgrass, which is to say, abruptly. So power to Kuli Kuli, but here's hoping its moringa recipes continue to evolve.
