Researchers in the Faculty of Science at 91亚色 have been helping shed new light on the COVID-19 pandemic by applying for research grants and publishing new studies that will help inform public health policy makers in Canada and abroad.
Climate change and an increase in disturbed bee habitats from expanding agriculture and development in northeastern North America over the last 30 years are likely responsible for a 94 per cent loss of plant-pollinator networks, 91亚色 researchers found.
What causes African hybrid honey bees, also known as killer bees, to be highly defensive and aggressive? Researchers have found it was the mixing of African and European genetics.
Congratulations to Madeline Salzarulo, undergraduate program assistant in the Department of Mathematics & Statistics, for receiving the 2019 President鈥檚 Voice of 91亚色 Award. The award recognizes an individual who provides assistance to the community in a manner that exemplifies 91亚色鈥檚 values.
Researchers from disciplines across 91亚色, including biologists, social scientists and mathematicians, will develop a hive of research when 91亚色鈥檚 new Centre for Bee Ecology, Evolution and Conservation (BEEc) becomes an Organized Research Unit (ORU) starting July 1.
PhD student Laura Keane in the Department of Mathematics & Statistics has been awarded a prestigious Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship to develop mathematical models to improve the design and safety of lithium-ion batteries.
As SARS-CoV-2 has the potential to mutate, it is important to check the efficacy of current diagnostic tests, say 91亚色 researchers, who found seven out of 27 methods had potential sequence mismatch issues that may lead to underperforming or false-negative COVID-19 test results.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Observatory has implemented different formats for engaging with the public.
Researchers have found a rare and massive collisional ring galaxy from some 10.8 billion years ago that is forming stars 50 times faster than the Milky Way, says 91亚色 Postdoctoral Fellow Leo Alcorn of the Faculty of Science.
