What happens when Francophone scientists are given the opportunity to present their research in their first language? They can share their science with the same confidence and passion they bring to the lab every day. Thanks to Professor Emily Standen’s support for the new French-language symposium at the Canadian Society of Zoologists Annual Meeting, science is becoming more inclusive, one present...

Science is more than groundbreaking discoveries. It’s also about the friendships that grow and stand the test of time. Decades after Professor John Baenziger first introduced student Corrie daCosta to the field of protein science, the two (now both researchers) reunited as collaborators (and longtime friends) to uncover new insights into how a key muscle protein functions.

Artificial intelligence data centres consume massive amounts of energy and fresh water to keep their systems running. PhD student Jean-Félix Milette is exploring quantum materials that could help make future computing technologies more efficient and sustainable.

After just two years of her biomedical science degree, Maïka Harvey has already taken her research beyond uOttawa, studying ovarian cancer at the University of Toronto and connecting with researchers at Harvard University.

If you’ve ever watched a baby try to grab a toy, you know how awkward those first movements can be. Scientists at the University of Ottawa have taken a big step in identifying the neural changes behind motor control by observing zebrafish go from clumsy swimmers to graceful gliders.

By making it easier to detect the molecular signs of disease, nanopore research opens the door to life-saving breakthroughs, among other potential applications. But like all great scientific advances, its impact depends on collaboration. That’s where Poriscope comes in: it’s helping nanopore researchers move beyond fragmented workflows and collaborate more efficiently.

The research program aims to strengthen mineral exploration at Ni-Co Energy’s Kremer Project by uncovering how its nickel, copper and cobalt mineralization formed and where similar mineralization may be found elsewhere on the property.

Seven globally recognized researchers based in the United States and Europe will be joining the University of Ottawa to lead new Eddie Goldenberg Research Chairs of Canada (formerly Canada Impact+ Research Chairs). They’ll boost the University’s capacity to promote Canadian innovation, leadership and competitiveness.

Meet Clara Laratta, Angela Marsh and Cristian Zaelzer, three acclaimed Canadian artists collaborating with uOttawa scientists to explore possibilities at the intersection of art and science.

Viruses aren’t the only things that spread through a population. Ideas can be contagious too. As vaccine misinformation spreads online, Professor Stacey Smith? is using mathematical models to understand its impact and help the public make sense of it.
