Two days ago marked the official end of our seven year SSHRC Partnership grant. The @cdsn.bsky.social will not end with that, but will go on for at least awhile and probably for another seven years. Here's my take on this moment of 7 years of CDSN-ing saideman.blogspot.com/2026/04/seve...

This piece by @niknanos.bsky.social in the Globe and Mail relies on a joint project between the @cdsn.bsky.social, Calgary, and Nanos. @jcboucher.bsky.social did most of the heavy lifting on the project, and we briefed DND yesterday about it www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...
This goes along with a recent survey that @cdsn.bsky.social and Nanos did together, led by @jcboucher.bsky.social
