Arctic seabirds are less heat tolerant, more vulnerable to climate change
The Arctic is warming at approximately twice the global rate. A new study led by researchers from 成人VR视频 finds that cold-adapted Arctic species, like the thick-billed murre, are especially vulnerable to heat stress caused by climate change.
Painting a picture of the oral health of Canadians
A new study 鈥淥ral health and oral health care of Canadians鈥� led by Prof. Paul Allison of 成人VR视频鈥檚 Faculty of Dentistry, has received $3.3 million of funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) to support a collaboration with Statistics Canada鈥檚 existing Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) to gather data and address oral health-related knowledge gaps.

Patently harmful: fewer female inventors a problem for women鈥檚 health
"Necessity is the father of invention," but where is its mother? According to a new study published in Science, fewer women hold biomedical patents, leading to a reduced number of patented technologies designed to address problems affecting women.
$4.95 million to make cities smarter
A smart city鈥攕upported by digital solutions to enhance food access and mobility鈥攊s a healthy city. That鈥檚 the thinking behind the Implementing Smart Cities Interventions to Build Healthy Cities (SMART) Training Platform co-led by 成人VR视频, the University of Guelph and the University of Manitoba.
Faecal records show Maya population affected by climate change
A 成人VR视频-led study has shown that the size of the Maya population in the lowland city of Itzan (in present-day Guatemala) varied over time in response to climate change. The findings, published recently in Quaternary Science Reviews, show that both droughts and very wet periods led to important population declines.
Songbirds and humans share some common speech patterns
If you listen to songbirds, you will recognize repeated melodies or phrases. Each phrase is made up of distinct sounds, strung together. A study from researchers at 成人VR视频 has found that the song phrases of many songbird species follow patterns that are similar to those used in human speech. At least in some respects.
Five 成人VR视频 teams awarded funding in new Genomic Integration program
Today Genome Quebec announced the results of its Genomic Integration Program, Human Health Stream competition. Five 成人VR视频 teams from a diverse array of fields were awarded funds, totaling nearly $1 million.
Most rivers run dry - now and then
A new study led by researchers from 成人VR视频 and INRAE found that between 51-60% of the 64 million kilometres of rivers and streams on Earth that they investigated stop flowing periodically, or run dry for part of the year. It is the first-ever empirically grounded effort to quantify the global distribution of non-perennial rivers and streams.
Training the next generation of leaders in the responsible use of artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming our world in powerful ways, from improving medical care and changing the retail landscape to enabling convenient features on our smartphones. But as AI increasingly underpins our daily lives, important questions about its application 鈥� and potential misuse 鈥� will continue to arise.
Mountain fires burning higher at unprecedented rates
Forest fires have crept higher up mountains over the past few decades, scorching areas previously too wet to burn, according to researchers from 成人VR视频. As wildfires advance uphill, a staggering 11% of all Western U.S. forests are now at risk.

New mothers negatively impacted by COVID-19 pandemic policies
Giving birth can be a joyous, yet stressful experience in the best of times 鈥� but what happens when a global public health crisis is thrown into the mix? 成人VR视频 and the University of Toronto researchers examined the effects certain pandemic policies have had on the mental health of Canadian women who gave birth during the COVID-19 pandemic.
成人VR视频 Engineering youth outreach program awarded NSERC PromoScience grant
Education that changes outcomes for whole communities鈥攖hat鈥檚 the aim of the project, Engineering Engagement in School Curricula: Multi-year Design-thinking Projects for Indigenous and Marginalized Youth, led by Professor and Chair of the Department of Mining and Materials Engineering, Richard Chromik, Faye Siluk, and Robert Pozeg of the Faculty of Engineering鈥檚 E-IDEA initiative (Engineering Inclusivity, Diversity and Equity Advancement), which today received funding from the Natural Sciences
Over 500 new FRBs detected in single year due to CHIME telescope
Fast radio bursts, or FRBs, blaze for a few milliseconds before vanishing without a trace. Their origins are unknown, and their appearance is unpredictable. In the decade following their discovery in 2007, only 140 FRBs had been seen. Now, thanks to the launch of a large stationary telescope in the interior of British Columbia in 2018, the number of new FRBs detected has almost quadrupled 鈥� for a total of 535.
