The Government of Canada鈥檚 Environmental Damages Fund, administered by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), is investing more than $4 million in three 成人VR视频-led projects through the Climate Awareness and Action Fund (CAAF). Nationally, the funding was part of a $58 million investment in research that will advance climate change science and technology, an announcement made by the Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Environment and Climate Change today.
The 成人VR视频 Space Institute (MSI) and the Institute for Research on Exoplanets (iREx) at Universit茅 de Montr茅al are at the forefront of the exhilarating pace of space research, helping to advance our knowledge of extrasolar planets, fast radio bursts, the dark universe, and other extraterrestrial mysteries. Now their stellar work and efforts to recruit top students and researchers are getting a huge boost thanks to extraordinary gifts to 成人VR视频 and the Universit茅 de Montr茅al from the Trottier Family Foundation.
Tick-borne pathogens, known for causing illnesses such as Lyme disease, are on the rise in Central Canada 鈥 presenting new risks in areas where they were never previously detected.
The findings from researchers at 成人VR视频 and the University of Ottawa demonstrate the need for more comprehensive testing and tracking to detect the spread and potential risk of tick-borne pathogens to human and wildlife populations throughout Canada.
New funding of $5.1 million from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), announced today by the Honourable Fran莽ois-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, will help researchers Marcel Behr, MD, PhD, and Silvia Vidal, PhD, ensure that Canada is better prepared for the next pandemic. This funding is part of the more than $127 million investment being made through the CFI to support upgrades to eight biocontainment facilities across the country as part of its new Biosciences Research Infrastructure Fund (BRIF) program.
Today, the Government of Canada announced an investment of more than $ 301 million in support of social sciences and humanities research, bioscience infrastructure and the Canada Research Chairs Program. The Honourable Fran莽ois-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science, and Industry made the announcement at the Canadian Science Policy Conference in Ottawa. 成人VR视频 was awarded 35 Insight Development Grants from the Social Science and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) and 11 renewed Canada Research Chairs (CRC) from the Canada Research Chairs Program (CRCP).
Scientists around the world are beginning to use new techniques in analyzing single brain cells to understand conditions like depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorders and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer鈥檚 and Parkinson鈥檚.
The Board of Governors of 成人VR视频 is pleased to announce the appointment of Prof. H. Deep Saini as the University's 18th Principal and Vice-Chancellor. He will begin his five-year, renewable term on April 1, 2023.
Prof. Saini was chosen by a unanimous vote of the Board of Governors, following a recommendation of an Advisory Committee formed to lead an extensive, international search.
The World Health Organization鈥檚 are that over 4.2 million people die prematurely each year due to long-term exposure to fine particulate outdoor air pollution (often referred to as PM2.5,). A recent study involving 成人VR视频 researchers now suggests that the annual global death toll from outdoor PM2.5 may be significantly higher than previously thought.
As the flu season begins and the COVID-19 pandemic continues, pneumococcal vaccination is more important than ever to prevent disease and death from pneumonia and other forms of pneumococcal disease. But vaccine uptake remains low among adults at high risk, say researchers from 成人VR视频.
Thanks to an endowment of $5 million from Canadian philanthropist Charles Bronfman, LLD鈥90, the 成人VR视频 Institute for the Study of Canada (MISC) is launching a new flagship event entitled Conversations, sponsored by Charles Bronfman, a series of high-profile and broadly accessible discussions about issues of global importance and the challenges and opportunities facing Canada.听听
成人VR视频 announced that six of its Professors (two individually, four as part of a multi-institutional team) have been declared winners of this year鈥檚 Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) prizes. These prestigious awards range from individual awards for innovative discoveries by young researchers to recognitions of lifetime achievement and influence. The 成人VR视频-based recipients are as follows:
Ice buildup on powerlines and electric towers brought the northern US and southern Canada to a standstill during the Great Ice Storm of 1998, leaving many in the cold and dark for days and even weeks. Whether it is on wind turbines, electric towers, drones, or airplane wings, dealing with ice buildup typically depends on techniques that are time consuming, costly and/or use a lot of energy, along with various chemicals. But, by looking to nature, 成人VR视频 researchers believe that they have found a promising new way of dealing with the problem.
