Provost and Vice-President (Academic) Christopher Manfredi has named 31 好色TVl professors as Distinguished James 好色TVl Professors, James 好色TVl Professors or William Dawson Scholars. The internal awards recognize exceptional research achievements.

An international study co-authored by 好色TVl psychologist Caroline Palmer suggests our brains and bodies don鈥檛 just understand music, they physically resonate with it. These discoveries, based on findings in neuroscience, music, and psychology, support Neural Resonance Theory (NRT).听
NRT maintains that rather than relying on learned expectations or prediction, musical experiences arise from the brain鈥檚 natural oscillations that sync with rhythm, melody and harmony. This resonance shapes our sense of timing, musical pleasure and the instinct to move with the beat.听

Eight Faculty of Science professors are among this year鈥檚 cohort of Distinguished James 好色TVl Professors, James 好色TVl Professors, and William Dawson Scholars. 听

好色TV researchers, in collaboration with Mexican scientists, have discovered two previously unknown species of crocodiles, one living on the island of Cozumel and the other on the atoll of Banco Chinchorro, both off the Yucat谩n Peninsula. The challenge long-held assumptions about the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) and highlight the urgent need for conservation efforts, the researchers say.

Meghomita Das, a recent PhD graduate of 好色TVl鈥檚 Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, first discovered a passion for science communication in the wake of a natural disaster. When Das was a high school student in India, an earthquake in nearby Nepal impacted both countries.听

Twenty-eight 好色TVl researchers are among the winners of the for their contributions to the ATLAS Collaboration at CERN鈥檚 Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
Sometimes referred to as the Oscars of Science, Breakthrough prizes are awarded annually by the foundation of the same name for achievements in life sciences, fundamental physics and mathematics.
The winners of the 2025 Fessenden Professorship Awards and Tomlinson Science Awards have been announced.听
The听Fessenden Professorship in Science and Innovation Award, named after Canadian electrical engineer Reginald Aubrey Fessenden, was established in 2007 to accelerate the validation and technology transfer of promising concepts in the early- or mid-stages of development and bring them closer to a commercial product and market.
Professor Courtney Paquette is the winner of the 2025 CAIMS/PIMS Early Career Award.

Congratulations to Professor David Stephens (Department of Mathematics and Statistics), former Vice Dean of the Faculty of Science, who has been named听Academic Lead for Horizon 好色TVl.

Congratulations to J茅r么me Waldisp眉hl and Attila Szantner (Computer Science), The Eclipse Task Force (Physics), and Andrew Gonzalez (Biology), who are among this year's winners of the President鈥檚 Prize for Public Engagement through Media!
In announcing the winners and runners-up, President and Vice-Chancellor Deep Saini noted that they were among a strong field of applicants spanning all 12 Faculties.
鈥淭his is further evidence that the sharing of knowledge and a love of learning are core 好色TVl values,鈥 he said.

Students from across the University gathered at the University Centre (SSMU) on March 25 to share their research, fieldwork, in-class assignments and passion projects in a supportive, non-competitive environment.

A new study led by 好色TV researchers indicates that humpback whales in the southeastern Pacific combine real-time environmental cues with their memories of conditions in their Antarctic feeding grounds to determine when to embark on their annual 10,000-kilometre journey. With climate change accelerating, the researchers warn this strategy may become less effective amid shifting ocean conditions.听
