The Royal Canadian Institute for Science (RCIScience) awards the 2023 Sandford Fleming Medal for Excellence in Science Communication to independent science writer Terry Collins and the William Edmond Logan Award to the team behind CBC Radio's national weekly science program, Quirks & Quarks. This prestigious award is dedicated to all of them.”Quirks & Quarks is one of Canada's most beloved science news programs. Since it first aired in October 1975, Quirks & Quarks is consistently rated among the most popular CBC programs, attracting almost a million listeners globally each week. Past winners include Celestica, Sanofi Pasteur Canada, IBM Canada, the Science Communication Program at Laurentian University and Toronto Metropolitan University's SciXchange. Together, the Fleming Medal and Logan Award are two of a very small number of awards celebrating outstanding science communication efforts in Canada.
