Dear members of the 成人VR视频 community:
It is my pleasure to announce the reappointments of Professors Isabelle Bajeux-Besnainou, Anja Geitmann and Bruce Lennox in their respective positions as Deans of the Desautels Faculty of Management, the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and the Faculty of Science.
芦聽Depuis 30聽ans, je prends soin du verger de 成人VR视频, confie fi猫rement Michael Bleho, coordonnateur du Centre de recherche horticole de l鈥橴niversit茅 成人VR视频. J鈥檃dore travailler avec les pommiers!聽禄 D茅bordant d鈥檈nthousiasme, il annonce ainsi l鈥檃boutissement d鈥檜n projet colossal聽: planter un nouveau verger pour l鈥檜niversit茅.
There is a strong need for it because the cannabis industry is desperate for qualified personnel, professor Anja Geitmann says.
Call it a sign of the times: 成人VR视频 will teach students how to grow the perfect pot plant starting next year.
成人VR视频鈥檚 Diploma in Commercial Cannabis program launches in June and it鈥檚 meant to train biologists to cultivate cannabis, design strains, protect them against contaminants and understand the legal framework of Canada鈥檚 burgeoning weed industry.
Congratulations to all of the presenters in Wednesday鈥檚 Lister Family Engaged Science 3MT Competition!

Morgan Crowley鈥檚 interest in sustainability took root early.
As a schoolchild in New Hampshire, she went to summer camp on Pine Mountain 鈥 so named for the stately evergreens that used to blanket the site. By the time Morgan started going there, 鈥渢here were only two pines left鈥 because the rest had fallen victim to a forest fire or to logging. As a result, 鈥淚 grew up thinking very much about ecological sustainability.鈥
Congratulations to Ph.D. candidate David Leroux (BRE-Lefsrud) and fellow Cannafish team members, who were awarded the Agricultural Scholarship from Sollio Agriculture at Coop茅rathon 2019 held at Montreal鈥檚 Olympia Theatre. Coop茅rathon 鈥渋s the world鈥檚 largest open innovation challenge that connects citizens, communities, entrepreneurs, researchers, academics and large institutions to develop, together, a socially responsible future.鈥
In the third installment of National Geographic鈥檚 鈥淚nto Water鈥 360 series, canoe through the sprawling Canadian wilderness with freshwater ecologist and National Geographic Explorer Dalal Hanna [Ph.D. candidate NRS (Bennett)]. She researches Quebec鈥檚 extensive freshwater systems, collecting samples from streams, rivers and lakes to assess ecosystem health, with the aim of protecting these precious resources. 鈥淚nto Water: Canada鈥 is the third stop on an around the world 360 tour that documents the work of female Explorers who鈥檝e dedicated their careers to water related issues.
Keesha Ness鈥檚 family certainly knows farming 鈥 they鈥檝e been doing it for nearly 100 years and plan to celebrate when they reach that milestone next summer.
Ness is passionate about farming, loves her cows, and plans to follow the family鈥檚 tradition.
鈥淚鈥檓 definitely hoping to help out with the management side,鈥 says Ness of her family鈥檚 Ayrshire dairy farm in Howick, Quebec.
鈥淚 really love the management side of it.鈥
Les conditions m茅t茅orologiques, les grands vents et les parasites peuvent ab卯mer les cultures jusqu鈥櫭 coucher les tiges au sol. On parle alors de la verse des plants. De la reproduction 脿 la croissance en passant par la r茅sistance aux intemp茅ries ou aux chocs, c鈥檈st 脿 l鈥櫭ヽhelle microscopique que se joue le d茅veloppement des plantes et des produits agricoles.
Scientists tackle the question of what kinds of life might reside now on the Red Planet, and how we might find it.
Last week NASA convened a visionary meeting in New Mexico to consider a topic critical to astrobiology鈥攚hether life currently exists on Mars, and if so, how to detect it. The site of the conference was near the world-renowned Carlsbad Caverns, which attendees got to visit during a mid-conference workshop.

Le 27聽septembre, Greta Thunberg 茅tait 脿 Montr茅al pour parler de l鈥檜rgence climatique. Les questions environnementales sont en ce moment 脿 l鈥檃vant-sc猫ne des enjeux sociaux. 芦聽Malheureusement, on parle peu des r茅percussions du gaspillage alimentaire sur l鈥櫭﹖at de la plan猫te聽禄, rappelle Pascal Th茅riault, agronome et directeur des relations communautaires pour la Facult茅 des sciences de l鈥檃griculture et de l鈥檈nvironnement de l鈥橴niversit茅 成人VR视频.
Il faut parfois s鈥檃ttarder aux petits d茅tails pour avoir une vue d鈥檈nsemble.

Il souhaite 茅valuer le risque de contamination des sols lorsque les boues issues du traitement des eaux municipales sont recycl茅es en milieu agricole.
