Acadia University - Apple bytes: how data science is shaping better fruit In apple breeding only around 0.014% of seedlings planted will make it to the final round of evaluations. And even fewer become commercially available cultivars. Researchers at Acadia are bringing together biology and computer science to bump that percentage up and make apple breeding and cultivation more sustainable.

Protestors march outside Acadia University as pool closure looms As convocation ceremonies were held at Acadia University, protestors took to the streets to raise awareness of the pool's pending closure.

“What she received in April outlines that university officials planned to close the pool but weren’t set on a date, indicating they could keep it open at least another year to give user groups time to find alternative options.”

Email from Jeff Hennessy, President and Vice-Chancellor of Acadia University: “The problem with community consultation on this is we’re not likely to listen to them if they have a different view than we do,” Hennessy wrote. “We could find $5 million under the mattress and we’re still going to close the pool because we wouldn’t spend that money fixing it and we have better options for the space.”

“Meg Shephard, a founding member of the #SaveAcadiaPool committee, sought, through a freedom of information and protection of privacy (FOIPOP) request, to see Acadia’s internal correspondence relating to the decision to close the pool”
