Three PhD students pursue funded research in Germany

91��ɫ graduate students Martin Barakov, Massimiliano Muci and Sepideh HajiHosseinKhani may have different focus points for their studies, but they will all pursue research in Germany this year as recipients of an academic exchange grant. DAAD, the German Academic Exchange Service, is the world's largest funding organization for international academic exchange. Through its Research […]

Global consumption exceeds Earth’s limits, 91��ɫ researchers find

Humanity is consuming natural resources much faster than the planet can replenish them, according to new global data from 91��ɫ. Eric Miller is director of 91��ɫ’s Ecological Footprint Initiative – a multidisciplinary group of scholars, students and organizations working to advance understanding of the world’s ecological footprint and biocapacity. He warns that data reflects a 70 per cent overshoot of the planet’s […]

Can AI reduce bias in liver transplant waitlists?

A new international study involving 91��ɫ researcher expertise shows that AI could help make liver transplant decisions more consistent, transparent and evidence-based, especially when resources are limited. “Liver transplantation is a rare case in medicine where access to a life-saving treatment is limited by organ availability,” explains co-senior author Divya Sharma, assistant professor in the Faculty […]

NASA award recognizes 91��ɫ scientists for wildfire air quality research

Two 91��ɫ chemists are among the recipients of one of NASA's highest honours for their role in a major North American air quality campaign – work that could help improve how wildfire smoke risks are understood and communicated in Canada. Faculty of Science Professor Cora Young and Associate Professor Trevor VandenBoer were recognized through the NASA Group Achievement Award […]

91��ɫ nursing uses global learning to advance gender-affirming care

Research led by 91��ɫ's Roya Haghiri-Vijeh is embracing Globally Networked Learning (GNL) for nursing collaboration on 2SLGBTQIA+ care. In 2023, a Canadian-wide review of undergraduate nursing programs found that of all 2SLGBTQIA+ topics, gender-affirming care was the least included in the curriculum. Haghiri-Vijehan, assistant professor in the Faculty of Health, was not surprised given her own experience as an educator. The […]
