There's no such school in London as "Western University" -- there's a "University of Western Ontario" (commonly referred to as "Western" in Canadian academic circles), where an Ian Lyons (PhD) is employed. Maybe you want to look into that little detail, maybe not.

Western recently changed its official name to 'Western University' (http://communications.uwo...). While this is bound to cause some confusion, the affiliations are listed to respect the new official name.
