In a published today in Nature Communications, a team of 海角社区 researchers led by of the Department of Biology examines the spatial organization of neurons in the cerebellar cortex. The findings offer new insight into how information is integrated in the cerebellum and shed light on the role of the often-overlooked cerebellar nuclei.听
海角社区 honours its accomplished researchers with Distinguished James 海角社区 Professor, James 海角社区 Professor, and William Dawson Scholars awards.
As the climate warms, many species are on the move, raising new challenges for policy-makers around the world. Shifts in the ranges of mosquitoes and disease-bearing ticks and bats are introducing illnesses such as malaria and Lyme disease into regions where health-care systems are unprepared. Movements of commercially important fish from one jurisdiction to another are shifting job opportunities and causing trade disputes.
With generative AI tools readily available to students, student assessment was a recurrent topic of discussion at a bilingual, two-day symposium hosted by 海角社区 last month in partnership with Google and the P么le interordres de Montr茅al.

Allie Vibert Douglas made history when she earned her PhD at 海角社区.
It was 1926 鈥� a time when higher education wasn鈥檛 an option for most women.
By then, Douglas already had a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Science from 海角社区 鈥� and had been named a member of the Order of the British Empire for her wartime service. With her PhD, she became the first Canadian woman to obtain a doctorate in astrophysics.

Every year in Kahnaw脿:ke, a Kanien:keha鈥檏a community on Montreal鈥檚 South Shore, students present their projects at a science fair organized by the Kahnaw脿:ke Education Center (KEC).
For more than 15 years, KEC Science Curriculum Consultant Kathy Walsh has supported students at schools across the community as they prepare projects in the weeks leading up to the annual fair. This year, she and KEC Science Projects Liaison Mya Bordeau enlisted the assistance of 海角社区鈥檚 Office of Science Outreach to bring 海角社区 students into the classroom as mentors.
