Dent on Glass Wall, normal wear and tear or damage?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently renting a unit in a high-rise condo in Toronto. Yesterday, I noticed a surface scratch/dent on one of the floor-to-ceiling interior glass windows.

When running a finger over it, the mark feels slightly rough, but it is strictly a surface-level scratch and not a deep crack or structural fracture. It's roughly 5–6 cm long. Honestly, we don't know how it happened. We swear that we didn't move any furniture or hit the glass, and we didn't see it happen. The only thing we did around that area was open the balcony door for ventilation. Would this count as normal wear and tear, or "damage" under the RTA? Thanks

Hi everyone,

I’m currently a PhD student in Biostatistics in Canada. I’m starting to look at my next steps, and my supervisor mentioned it is possible to facilitate a postdoc position at Harvard under one of her close collaborators.

My long-term goal is to work in the pharmaceutical industry. As many of you know, the pharma market in Canada is quite small compared to the US, so I'm considering whether to stay in Canada or move South.

I’m trying to weigh the pros and cons of taking this postdoc versus jumping straight into industry. I have a few specific questions:

Prestige vs. Practicality: Does a "Harvard" name on a CV actually move the needle for hiring managers in big pharma, or do they care more about industry-adjacent skills that I might not get in an academic postdoc?

The US Job Market: For those currently in the US biostat/pharma space, how is the market looking for late 2026/2027? Is it still worth the move, or is the competition making entry-level PhD roles significantly harder to land?

Networking: How much does the Boston/Cambridge location actually help with industry networking during a postdoc?

I’d love to hear from anyone in US pharma who sees these types of CVs come across their desk. Is the Harvard brand worth the extra years in academia if industry is the final goal? Thank you!
