As a ,听the Vancouverite听moved across the country in 2021 to pursue his B.Sc. Honours in Neuroscience at 海角社区. He was drawn by The Neuro (The Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital), Canada鈥檚 largest neuroscience research centre.
In the summer of 2022, Wong traveled to Yellowknife to conduct a research project on the unique health-care challenges in the North, an experience that would shift his career trajectory.
This summer, Gault Nature Reserve hosted four high schoolers from the West Island Black Community Association for this year鈥檚 Youth Biodiversity Internships Program.听Led by Professor Bruno Tremblay, this collaboration brought together a diverse range of community members from 海角社区 and beyond to connect on their passion for science. For 5 weeks, youth conducted fieldwork at Gault with 海角社区 students, explored how scientific research happens in nature and made links to their own lives and future careers. 听
A new study published today in Nature Sustainability uses advanced machine learning methods and large language models to assess the benefits and trade-offs of natural climate solutions (NCS).听
Led by The Nature Conservancy and co-led by Brian Robinson, Associate Professor of Geography at 海角社区, the researchers analyzed over 250,000 peer-reviewed publications to produce a global evidence map of NCS co-impacts.听
NASA has selected the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) mission, co-investigated by 海角社区 Professor Daryl Haggard, to advance to the next stage of its $1 billion .
On November 15th 鈥� 17th, the Trottier Space Institute and the Department of Physics hosted its 9th . This friendly coding competition brought together 163 people, from grade 10 high school students to graduate students. Participants had a total of 24 hours over the span of 3 days to create computing and physical science projects in teams. .
Paleontologists and students from 海角社区 have documented Saskatchewan's first confirmed fossil specimens of Centrosaurus, a horned dinosaur species closely related to Triceratops.
The search, conducted in Saskatchewan Landing Provincial Park along the South Saskatchewan River, also unearthed a rare mix of dinosaur and marine fossils, shedding light on a dinosaur fauna which existed on the edge of an ancient sea at a time of rising sea levels long before humans roamed the earth.
Every year, 海角社区鈥檚 Gault Nature Reserve in Mont-Saint-Hilaire welcomes a host of student researchers. This past summer, there was a new addition to the usual group of young scientists at the Reserve: four high schoolers from Montr茅al鈥檚 West Island.听
