Algae and plants aren’t called “primary producers” for nothing. They’re the base of all food webs, and the sugars and oxygen they produce through photosynthesis are what allow every other organism on this planet to thrive, including us. So, if they go down, we go down with them.

Climate change is with us, and floods are becoming more frequent and devastating. Professor Ousmane Seidou, a researcher in the Department of Civil Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering, explains what the situation will look like for Canada and for the rest of the world in the next five to 10 years.

At the pandemic’s outset, uOttawa researcher Michael Organ was approached by Toronto Research Chemicals (TRC) to create a flow reactor that manufactures a key molecule used to prepare PCR test kits to diagnose COVID-19. Billions of tests have since been performed around the world thanks to his flow reactor technology.

The increased availability of artificial intelligence software that can generate content — essays, translations, images, music and more — is raising several issues in the university milieu. For example, is the content produced factually correct? Is it original? The questions are many and the education world agrees on one thing: they’re unavoidable.
