Exciting news! My nephew Will is launching Boundless Discovery, a project tackling major news issues: It address the following four issues we run into when trying to understand the news. Feel free to share.

:one: Echo Chambers: Algorithms often reinforce existing beliefs.
:two: Inflammatory Language: Sensational headlines overshadow real understanding.
:three: Complexity and Omission: Important details get lost in oversimplified stories.
:four: Opinion Overload: Too many perspectives blur the line between fact and opinion.

Boundless Discovery uses advanced tech to offer a free weekly newsletter with deep dives into global issues. Help support their early work by subscribing here:

Good morning,
An award was presented to the BLBRA last evening during the CEPI Bras d'Or Lakes are Golden Awards held as part of the Muiwatmnej Etuaptmumk Conference: Honouring Two-Eyed Seeing. The BLBRA received the 2023 Golden Award for Business & Industry in recognition of the BLBRA's collaborative work within the Biosphere and in celebration of our redesignation/ recertification last year after the periodic review.

Thanks to Amanda Mombourquette for doing such a great job in introducing the BLBRA. Thanks to Stan and Ron and the CEPI team for all they do to support the BLBRA. This award is truly an honour.

I'm wondering if we are trend setters in St. Peter's?
