If you have concerns your child is having trouble reading, new research shows it’s likely something that needs attention. As children across the country head back to class this week, a new study from Western University researchers shows parental concern …
Research
Kidney donation does not put donor at extra risk
While people with reduced kidney function are more likely to develop cardiovascular conditions, that doesn’t necessarily ring true for those with reduced renal mass from donating a kidney, according to Western Epidemiology & Biostatistics professor Amit Garg.
Project eyes lead in municipal drinking water
Western Engineering professor Jose Herrera will lead a new municipal research project supported by the Canadian Water Network to develop a user-friendly model to forecast lead levels in drinking water.
Study: Children’s deaths linked to post-tonsillectomy codeine
Western researchers are sounding an alarm over the danger of giving children pain-killers containing codeine following a tonsillectomy for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
One cool CAT: Mini-machine broadens teaching opportunities
The brainchild of Western Medical Biophysics professors Jerry Battista and Kevin Jordan, the DeskCAT – a miniature CT (Computed Tomography) scanner small enough to sit on a counter – brings a novel and interactive method to teach CT imaging techniques to a wide range of students.
Research, industry ties get budget support
In what remains a tough global economy, Canada’s federal government is cutting costs without cutting corners to get ahead.
Western, NASA partner on exploration
The Canadian Astrobiology Network (CAN), centered at Western, has been elevated to affiliate status within the NASA Astrobiology Network.
Western to pause for Earth Hour
At 8:30 p.m. Saturday, March 31, Western joins the world in turning off the lights for one hour to demonstrate how individual actions add up to make a big difference.
Western lagging, but pushing for research funding
With close to $220 million in total research funding this past year, there is still plenty of room for Western to improve on a number of fronts, said Janice Deakin, provost and vice-president (academic) and acting vice-president (research).
Western wins environmental honour
Western’s sustainability efforts reached a “significant milestone” last night as the university took home the Environmental Leadership Award presented by the London Chamber of Commerce at its annual Business Achievement Awards.
Grant helps reply to ‘messengers from space’
Western’s effort to keep an eye on the sky just got a little help from the Canadian Space Agency (CSA).
Mini-CT scanner developed as a teaching tool
Biophysics professors at Western University have developed a CT (Computed Tomography) scanner small enough to sit on a desk.
Neuroscientists explore size constancy in the brain
Mel Goodale is relentlessly interested in how our brain enables us to understand the world.
