Getting schooled on knowledge exchange
Western faculty, postdocs and other researchers are heading to class next week to better understand how they can get their ideas “out into the world” and into the hands of those who need it most.
Lung image studies show unique nature of asthma
A pair of Western-led lung imaging studies, including one performed in non-identical twin patients with lifelong asthma, have shown that airway defects in the lungs of asthmatic patients are like fingerprints –they have a unique pattern and maintain that pattern over time.
Research looks to get kids up and running
Rethinking how kids go about their day care days, as well as empowering those charged with caring and educating them, may go a long way toward getting kids much-needed physical activity, according to a Western researcher.
Military, medicine partnership grows at Schulich
A new office connecting the Canadian Armed Forces and the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry will help train military doctors and strengthen existing research and partnerships. The Office of Military Academic Medicine aims to make Schulich a world leader in...
New audio dome paints research soundscape
“For too long, auditory research has involved people listening to single sounds in sound booths – and that’s just not how we listen in the real world. Enter the Brain and Mind Institute’s new virtual acoustic space that’s helping neuroscientists at Western understand how our brains process sounds.
Work begins on Biomed Building site
Early work on the new Biomedical Research Facility has begun with construction fence going up in the Medical Science Parking Lot and a section between the Siebens Drake Research Institute and the Medical Science Building already excavated.
Study: Teen first case of life-threatening vaping injury
By publishing this Canadian case, researchers hope to raise awareness of the varying types of vaping-related lung injuries and the acute and chronic effects of vaping – even calling for further research into toxicity of e-liquid ingredients and tighter regulation of the industry.
Research bridges big data, infrastructure needs
Engineering professor Ayan Sadhu’s work uses big data to gather better information into the nation’s critical infrastructure, all in an effort to signal problems sooner, potentially saving millions of dollars and reducing the threat to those living in harm’s way.
Off-site book storage on temporary hold
The move of some materials at The D.B. Weldon Library to a storage and retrieval facility is on hold, following concerns from faculty members, President Alan Shepard told members of the Board of Governors Thursday.
Study explores new tracer in prostate cancer hunt
A new study looks to move doctors and patients closer to earlier and more precise detection of recurrent prostate cancer that would clarify treatment decisions and lead to more confident courses of action and better health outcomes.
Survey eyes costs of partner violence in workplace
Starting Nov. 25, Western community members will be able to participate in a university-led academic survey, ‘Intimate partner violence and its financial costs,’ that hopes to determine the extent to which intimate-partner violence impacts survivors, perpetrators and witnesses at the university workplace.
Researchers recognized for high citations
Four Western professors have been lauded for their multiple highly cited research papers, according to the Highly Cited Researchers 2019 list from the Web of Science Group, released this week.
