“Evensong” is a traditional Anglican church service that includes hymns, prayers, and readings from the Bible. In the British university choral tradition, “Evensong” refers to a choral service that is performed by a university choir in a church or chapel setting.  The most widely performed “Evensongs” in the British university choral tradition are those performed by the choirs of Oxford and Cambridge universities.  

Other universities in the UK, such as Durham, St. Andrews, and Edinburgh, also have strong choral traditions and perform regular “Evensongs.” These services often include music by composers such as Thomas Tallis, William Byrd, Henry Purcell, and other great composers of choral music from the Renaissance and Baroque eras.


“If ye love me” is a motet composed by the English Renaissance composer Thomas Tallis. It is a four-part choral work that is widely regarded as one of his most popular and enduring compositions.  It was first published in 1565 in Archbishop Parker’s Psalter, which was the first musical work to be printed in England with music notation. “If ye love me” has since become a staple of choral repertoire and is often performed at weddings, funerals, and other occasions.

Quantum Information Science

Quantum information science is a field of study that combines the principles of quantum mechanics and information theory to develop new methods for processing, storing, and transmitting information. It aims to use the unique properties of quantum systems, such as superposition and entanglement, to create more powerful and secure computing and communication technologies than are possible with classical systems.

In quantum information science, information is represented using quantum bits, or qubits, which can exist in superposition states, allowing for simultaneous processing of multiple values. By entangling qubits, it is possible to perform operations on them collectively, leading to faster and more efficient computation.

The field of quantum information science was founded in the 1980s and 1990s by a number of researchers who realized that the principles of quantum mechanics could be used to develop new methods for processing, transmitting, and securing information. Some of the key figures who are credited with founding the field of quantum information science include:

  1. Paul Benioff: In 1981, Benioff proposed the concept of a quantum computer, which would use quantum mechanics to perform calculations faster than a classical computer.
  2. Richard Feynman: In 1982, Feynman gave a lecture in which he proposed the idea of using quantum systems to simulate the behavior of other quantum systems, which later became known as quantum simulation.
  3. David Deutsch: In 1985, Deutsch proposed the concept of a quantum algorithm, which would use quantum mechanics to perform certain calculations exponentially faster than a classical computer.
  4. Peter Shor: In 1994, Shor developed a quantum algorithm for factoring large numbers, which demonstrated the potential of quantum computers to break certain encryption schemes and sparked a renewed interest in quantum information science.

These and other researchers made significant contributions to the development of quantum information science, and the field has since grown to encompass a wide range of topics, including quantum cryptography, quantum communication, and quantum sensing, among others.

Peter Gregory Boghossian is an American philosopher and pedagogue. He was a non-tenure track assistant professor of philosophy at Portland State University for ten years, and his areas of academic focus include atheism, critical thinking, pedagogy, scientific skepticism, and the Socratic method.

Boghossian was involved in the grievance studies affair (also called “Sokal Squared” in media coverage) with collaborators James A. Lindsay and Helen Pluckrose, which entailed submitting bogus papers to peer-reviewed publications related to gender studies and other fields. This project generated significant media and academic attention, including both praise and condemnation, as well as ethical and methodological criticism.

After an investigation, Portland State University restricted Boghossian’s future work on the basis of research misconduct. In September 2021, Boghossian resigned his position from Portland State University, citing harassment and a lack of intellectual freedom.
