Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry professor Dr. Davy Cheng said the problem may be “too many cooks” when it comes to multiple physicians prescribing different medications, potentially causing serious, unintended consequences for heart failure patients. A...
An unprecedented exploration of historical climate data strongly indicates increasing levels of greenhouse gases have the potential to lock California into drought conditions for centuries to come, according to an international research collaboration.
Next time you watch a Hamilton Tiger-Cats game, keep in mind the hardest-working athletes are not along the line of scrimmage. Players are only active for 8-10 minutes a game; cheerleaders are working the whole time. Led by Western Kinesiology researchers, an ongoing...
By the time you read this, Joseph Stinziano will already be in Albuquerque, N.M., honing in on the secrets of boechera depauperata – a heat-tolerant plant that can thrive in temperatures as high as 40 degrees Celsius. Stinziano, a PhD candidate in Biology, will spend...
Newly discovered information into the inflexible diet of one group of prehistoric bears has scientists rethinking how the creatures lived and what caused the large mammals’ extinction some 25,000 years ago.
If anyone were to tout the benefits of opening yourself up to new voices, it would be Alan Kalbfleisch. Last summer, at the halfway point of earning his master’s degree in Engineering, Kalbfleisch satisfied his interest in learning more about business by taking the...
