Western neuroscience researcher Melvyn A. Goodale has been elected to the prestigious Royal Society, joining the likes of Sir Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.
With four entries in Round 5 of the Grand Challenges Canada Stars in Global Health competition, Western is showcasing innovative research, expected to significantly impact healthcare around the world.
Western researchers may have found another in-road into one day stopping the metastasis (spread) of breast cancer, by targeting the kisspeptin receptor protein (KISS1R), which binds kisspeptins – products of the KISS1 gene.
When Rite of Spring (Le Sacre du Printemps) opened in Paris in 1913, the ballet nearly caused a riot. Now, a century later, Don Wright Faculty of Music lecturer Miranda Wickett’s paper, Spring in Wartime: The Post-War Effects on Bausch’s Le Sacre du Printemps, is causing a similar stir amongst dance researchers.
The times may be a-changin’, but the recipe for a Top 40 hit, however, has always remained the same, according to Popular Music Studies professor Robert Toft.
Chantelle Richmond was looking to give her students a fun assignment to wrap up her second-year Indigenous Environment class. Little did she know it would take on a life of its own.
A winter after discovering Canada for France, Jacques Cartier’s exploration crew started suffering and dying from the dreadful scurvy disease in 1535. But thanks to an Iroquoian healer, they were miraculously cured by a tea made from pine bark.
Western officials see a new initiative as a way of bringing the university’s best minds together.
Growing up in Toronto, Francey Forster’s four-legged friends were always part of the family. So when she made her way to Western, it wasn’t surprising the second-year Social Science student would want to get a dog.
Huron University College student Gideon Bell has made it his mission to bring a greater focus on the environment at the affiliate college. As environmental commissioner of Huron’s students’ council and leader of its Green Team, Bell has teamed up with EnviroWestern for a tree-planting event in September, spent two summers growing a beautiful reading garden and organized several fundraising and fact-finding events to support environmental sustainability.
While we may never know exactly what happened to the 129 men who were part of Sir John Franklin’s ill-fated Northwest Passage expedition in 1845, Western researchers have at least debunked some of the potential causes of death – that being lead poisoning.
The transition from hospital to community can be challenging for those diagnosed with a mental illness. Research shows the first days and weeks following psychiatric discharge are particularly high-risk periods for relapse, with 43 per cent of suicides occurring within the first month post-discharge, and another 40 per cent of patients being readmitted to hospital during that same time.
