Mathematician seeks solutions in symmetry
Western professor Jan Minac, a newly named fellow of the Canadian Mathematical Society, says good mathematical theory is like fine art – and just as valuable.
Selections setting off for open spaces
Set off for big skies, open waters and a hip hop-meets-hoedown jam session when Biology professor Benjamin Rubin takes his turn on Read. Watch. Listen.
Alumna trumpets women’s health and rights
Stefania Wisofschi, newly selected for the Aga Khan Foundation Canada’s International Youth Fellowship Program, remembers that pivotal experience that illuminated her future career path.
Researchers shine light on black hole origins
Western astrophysicists have found evidence of the direct formation of black holes that do not need to emerge from a star remnant – a finding that may provide scientists with an explanation for the presence of extremely massive black holes at the earliest stage of our universe.
Calling all ‘space oddities’ to Asteroid Day
Join Western as it celebrates its fourth annual Asteroid Day from 5:30-11 p.m. Saturday. Geosciences Collection Curator Alysha McNeil will be in attendance to inspect potential meteorites.
Research resets timeline for life on Mars
Western researchers, leading an international team, have shown that the first ‘real chance’ of Mars developing life started early, 4.48 billion years ago, when giant, life-inhibiting meteorites stopped striking the Red Planet.
Grad offers a ‘Clew’ to future success
Udara Jayawardena, BSc’19 (Bioinformatics), gets straight to the point when you ask him what he does: “I write code, design things, and dabble in genomics.”
Three named Teaching Innovation fellows
Efforts to look deeper into classroom learning styles and farther into the cosmos have been lauded with a Fellowship in Teaching Innovation, the Western Centre for Teaching and Learning announced today.
Indigenous astronomy course turns eyes skyward
When Robert Cockcroft looks up, he knows he is not alone in doing so. “Everyone has access to the sky.”
Alumnus marks fandom one jersey at a time
Maybe Rawad Serhan, BSc’14, has room for one more jersey, you know, to celebrate the Toronto Raptors’ first-ever NBA Finals victory Thursday night.
Students land project – after a lost year
One year ago today, a team of Western graduate students launched a high-altitude balloon (HAB) 20 km into space with the lofty goal of studying the Earth’s stratosphere. The launch was a success. The retrieval not so much – at least until last week.
Huner heads ‘back to future’ to lead Biotron
Recently, Biology professor Norm Huner, the founding father of Western’s Biotron, was tapped to lead the climate-change research centre – again – two decades after he first sowed the seeds for the cutting-edge facility.
