EMILY DIEBERT + DR PETER STOTLAND

On the Saturday March 22, 2025 episode of the Richard Crouse Show we meet Emily Diebert. She is a Science Fellow at the Gemini South Observatory in Chile, where she writes children’s books by day and works as an astronomer by night. Her debut novel is “Bea Mullins Takes a Shot,” a novel about a 7th grader who, after being forced to join her school's hockey team discovers unexpected friendships and a budding crush on the team captain.

Then, it’s National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, a month-long campaign aims to educate Canadians about colorectal cancer and encourage screening. Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in Canada but can be effectively treated when detected early.

To help me raise awareness is Dr. Peter Stotland, chief of surgery at North York General Hospital and the surgeon who did my colon resection when I was diagnosed with colon cancer twelve years ago.
