yeah, the Iroquois held most of the land of present day New York State and inhabitable parts of Ontario and Quebec provinces.

It means "Great Lake" in their language - the one their nation surrounded.

Cholesterol is not one molecule.

A lot of your brain is made of types of it.

The two populations with the highest life expectancy are Hong Kong and Macau.

Obviously NYT is just about narrative construction but it would be nice to know some figures like:

* what is that in percentage of researchers?
* and grants
* how many are typical in a year?
* what is the net in each direction for this time period?
* and for a typical year

I happen to know rwo researchers who got a position in Canada and several Canadians who got positions at US schools. That just seems normal from my limited perspective but maybe it's just because I feed them Molson and poutine so they keep coming around.

Remember, numbers given without percentages and percentages given withouts without numbers are always propaganda.
