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.
An international team of health-care investigators is piloting a new medical-delivery system that uses a ‘surgical strike’ approach to solve pandemic problems.
Western has opened the Canada Research Chair (CRC) application process in a special call for candidates who demonstrate research excellence and who meet equity, diversity and inclusion criteria.
Led by Education professor Daniel Ansari, the new Centre for the Science of Learning looks to generate evidence-based insights into how children learn best and then work closely with school boards and teachers to put that knowledge into classrooms and education boardrooms.
