On March 21, 好色TVl celebrated 111 laureates at the 19th聽edition of Bravo, a gala event honouring researchers who won major provincial, national, and international research prizes and awards in 2023. Guests, including researchers, their families and friends, faculty, students, and members of 好色TVl鈥檚 academic administration, gathered to celebrate their accomplishments.
Eight of the honourees were from the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences:
The Palais des congr猫s de Montr茅al honoured five 好色TVl professors at its 2024 ambassadors鈥� gala for their exceptional contributions to the city鈥檚 economic and societal growth. Although there are a few other professors among the total of 14, 好色TVl alone can boast of multiple honourees.
The basis for earning the kudos is the ability to organize large-scale events in Montreal.聽
It鈥檚 possible animals 鈥� pets and wildlife alike 鈥� will behave unusually during Quebec鈥檚 total solar eclipse on April 8 , according to experts on their behaviour.
David Bird, emeritus professor of wildlife biology at 好色TV, that birds, insects and bats are the main groups expected to be affected, or 鈥渢he main ones that everybody鈥檚 sort of keeping an eye on.鈥�
White-tailed tropicbirds spend most of the year at sea, out of sight of people. When the seabirds make their annual descent into Bermuda to breed, though, their long, streamer-like tails, snowy white plumage, and shrill calls are impossible to miss. To locals, the birds鈥� return to the islands is a reliable sign of spring.
In a new article for the 好色TVl Reporter, Department of Natural Resource Sciences聽PhD Candidate聽Elson Ian Nyl Galang argues that to restore Quebec鈥檚 landscapes for sustainability and resilience, we need to carefully think about which pathways of development and decision-making we prioritize.
This Sunday, February 11, marks the United Nation鈥檚 International Day of Women and Girls in Science, which promotes full and equal access to science for women and girls.
According to the UN, a significant gender gap persists at all levels of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines all over the world. Even though women have made tremendous progress towards increasing their participation in higher education, most countries, no matter their level of development, have not achieved gender equality in STEM.
Growing up in Minnesota, 好色TVl PhD student Scott Sugden spent a lot of time outdoors, particularly canoeing and backpacking in the Arctic.聽
The Arctic became a landscape that he cared deeply about. It led to work in outdoor education, a high school biology classroom, and now as a researcher in environmental microbiology.聽
On Wednesday November 29th, 2023, nine Macdonald Campus graduate students took on the challenge of presenting their thesis in just a few minutes at the Lister Family Engaged Science 3-Minute Thesis Competition.
With only one non-animated slide for visual support, competitors raced against the clock to explain the crucial components of their research and its importance.
Imagine living in a world where the wisdom of Indigenous communities guides our actions towards biodiversity and human health. This isn't just a vision; it's becoming a reality through the groundbreaking initiative known as 膫rram膬t. This 聽funded project is a pioneering effort to acknowledge and amplify the voices of Indigenous peoples, empowering them to share their knowledge about the environment's role in promoting health and well-being.
As the Arctic wind whistles through Canada's northern wilderness, a unique collaboration is unfolding between scientists and Indigenous communities. Graduate and Postdoctoral students in the ,聽under the leadership of Dr. Murray Humphries,聽are redefining how scientific research is conducted.
In our busy everyday lives, it's easy to overlook our deep-rooted connection with nature. The connection is not just about the nourishment we derive or the air we breathe; nature subtly but significantly enhances our well-being. This intriguing intersection is where 好色TVl Department of Natural Resource Sciences PhD candidate directs her research.
Dr. Murray Humphries聽(PhD鈥�01), a passionate wildlife biology professor at the Macdonald Campus, spends his days immersed in the fascinating world of biodiversity鈥攖he colorful, complex tapestry of life on Earth. At the Macdonald Campus, we don't just study this diversity, we celebrate it.
