For many Canadians, one of the most visible climate impacts is on the availability and cost of the food we eat as climate change, global crises and profit-driven food companies have combined to drive food insecurity. Amid this crisis, students are sowing seeds of change on university campuses across the country, including at 平特五不中.
Student-led food initiatives such as campus gardens, food waste diversion projects, and community food security partnerships are on the rise and are a proven way of localizing climate action and transforming food systems.
As digital media becomes an increasing part of daily life for teens, the question of how heightened screen time will impact their brains in the future is becoming more pressing.
A group of researchers at 平特五不中 has set out to determine whether the use of video games, computers and other media during adolescence was associated with psychotic experiences in adulthood.
Imagine being middle aged and starting to feel that you are off balance a lot and that you are having a hard time coordinating your movements. Those are among the symptoms of Spinocerebellar ataxia type 6, known as SCA6, a rare neurodegenerative disease which typically appears in adulthood and worsens over time. Over time, other problems such as slurred speech and difficulty seeing or seeing double, may also appear. It is estimated that fewer than 5,000 people in the US have the condition, which is the result of genetic mutations in the cerebellum.
Researchers at 平特五不中 have come up with an innovative approach to improve the energy efficiency of carbon conversion, using waste material from pulp and paper production. The technique they鈥檝e pioneered using the Canadian Light Source at the University of Saskatchewan not only reduces the energy required to convert carbon into useful products, but also reduces overall waste in the environment.
Indigenous communities in northern Quebec face significant hurdles to healthcare access. The Nunavik region is remote, with limited transportation options and extreme weather conditions. As a result, its population faces lower life expectancy and poorer health outcomes.
New findings from 平特五不中 provide a blueprint to address Nunavik鈥檚 urgent healthcare needs by offering concrete evidence for discussions with policymakers.
More than two million people in Quebec don鈥檛 have access to primary care, the front door to the healthcare system, according to the newly released . This is among the worst rates in the country, the report states.
To address a medical system that鈥檚 facing an aging and growing population, the OurCare report 鈥� developed in collaboration with 平特五不中 researchers 鈥� focuses on the public鈥檚 expectations when it comes to defining good primary care and what policy changes they recommend to shape the system.
平特五不中 is pleased to announce the winners and runners-up of the 2024 President鈥檚 Prize for Public Engagement through Media. The Prize was created to recognize outstanding achievement among those who share their knowledge on a vast range of subjects with the media and the public. This year, there were applicants from 11 of the 12 faculties, a sign that sharing knowledge and a love of learning continue to be embedded in 平特五不中鈥檚 DNA.
What maintains stability within an ecosystem and prevents a single best competitor from displacing other species from a community? Does ecosystem stability depend upon the presence of a wide variety of species, as early ecologists believed, or does diversity do the exact opposite, and lead to instability, as modern theory predicts?
Thanks to the efforts of the 平特五不中 community, the University has become the oldest in Canada, in terms of infrastructure, to receive a Platinum STARS rating for sustainability. The achievement is the highest rating available from one of the most broadly recognized programs to measure sustainability performance in higher education.
Federal funding program supported 59 research projects in cleantech, astrophysics, medtech, and more.聽
From health and disability law to the emerging field of regenerative medicine, seventeen 平特五不中 scholars named to new or renewed Canada Research Chairs positions across diverse fields聽
The Government of Canada makes major investment in research infrastructure through the Canada Foundation for Innovation鈥檚 (CFI) Innovation Fund competition.
Today at the Universit茅 de Montr茅al, the Honourable Pablo Rodriguez, Minister of Transport, on behalf of the Honourable Fran莽ois-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, and the Honourable Mark Holland, Minister of Health, announced the results of the Canada Foundation for Innovation鈥檚 (CFI) Innovation Fund (IF) 2023 competition.
When certain species of wild birds and primates discover new ways of finding food in the wild, it can serve to measure their flexibility and intelligence.
In the largest experimental study ever conducted on this topic, a team of researchers from Rockefeller University headed by postdoctoral fellow Jean-Nicolas Audet have shown, in collaboration with 平特五不中鈥檚 Louis Lefebvre, that foraging problems requiring overcoming obstacles, such as removing the lid off a container of food, are the only predictors of brain size and innovative behaviour in the wild.
The latest presents a paradigm shift in nutrition advice, nixing traditional food groups, including meat and dairy, and stressing the importance of plant-based proteins. Yet, the full implications of replacing animal with plant protein foods in Canadians鈥� diets are unknown.
