I received a letter today (the old-fashioned way) telling me that I had been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.
According to [[Wikipedia]], "election to Fellowship in the Society is the highest academic accoldate available to scientists and scholars in Canada." The RSC was founded in 1882 and modeled on the UK Royal Society (Newton and all that).
congratulations, barry! this is quite the honor, and well-deserved. --elijah
