Episode 134 - Inflation, Subject Rankings, Autonomous Robot

Beyond the Bulletin Podcast

Jean-Paul Lam, professor of economics, discusses the highest inflation in decades and tells us why things are so much more expensive now. The annual Global Ranking of Academic Subjects is out, with strong results from the University in a wide range of subject areas. Waterloo students may soon be able to order pizza or a burger from a nearby plaza and have it brought to campus by Canada’s first all-weather autonomous delivery robot. And Antoni Cimolino, artistic director of the Stratford Festival, will deliver this year’s Hagey Lecture.
