12:00 – A Saskatchewan researcher has become the first Canadian to receive an honorary fellowship from the UK’s Royal Astronomical Society. Dr. Katharyn McWilliams, a professor in physics and engineering physics at the University of Saskatchewan, is the director of SuperDARN Canada, a network of scientists in 10 countries who use radar to study the upper atmosphere. McWilliams says her work might lead to a “forecast” for the aurora borealis, similar to a weather forecast, and she joins Gormley to tell us more about her work and the honorary fellowship.
