Tens of millions of years ago, the African and Eurasian tectonic plates collided, giving rise to the Alps – a mountain belt stretching across much of southern Europe and reaching heights in excess of 4 km. Tectonic collision pushed rocks to >75 km depths, and a short time later the rocks returned to the surface. In the Austrian Alps, large-scale stretching of the plates led to the formation of ...

Scientists are not solo artists. They often collaborate with other academics, with industry and governments. Organizations such as the Health and Environmental Sciences Institute (HESI) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) facilitate multi-sectoral, international collaborations.

When you think back on your elementary school days, you will probably remember conducting fun science experiments, such as elephant’s toothpaste, banana DNA extraction, and bean seed germination. These activities are not only mesmerizing, but also essential to foster curiosity and encourage critical thinking.

Since the initial launch of the New Frontiers in Research Fund – Exploration Stream program in 2018, researchers in the Faculty of Science have seen considerable success in this extremely competitive grant competition. Proposing innovative, interdisciplinary and high-risk/high-reward projects, two of our faculty members led applications that were successful in the Fall 2020 competition.

Laboratory-based research is crucial to better understand our environment, develop therapies for disease and improve our overall quality of life. However, experimental research is very cost-intensive when we consider the price of state-of-the art research equipment.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, government research funding agencies around the world, including the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), enabled a rapid shift of research efforts by earmarking funding for COVID-19 research to address this unprecedented crisis. Numerous professors in the Faculty of Science saw this initiative as an opportunity to contribute to the fight again...
