Three Western scholars—Kim Baines, Glenn Bauman and Deborah Laliberte-Rudman—have earned Distinguished University Professor (DUP) awards. Acknowledging sustained excellence in scholarship over a substantial career at Western, the award includes a ci …
Western researcher Madalena Kozachuk is bringing 200-year-old ghosts back to life. The Western PhD student and a team of interdisciplinary researchers have together developed a novel and non-invasive way to recover ‘vanished’ images from the earliest historical...
Elizabeth Gillies’ development of degradable plastic polymers could soon benefit everything from fertilizer used by farmers to cancer drugs administered by physicians.
Patrick Monaghan, PhD’84, never thought he’d close out an academic career at the age of 60, only to take on a second vocation – as a professional stage and television actor, no less. And yet, that’s the path Monaghan pursued immediately upon retirement, after 25 years...
For researchers at Surface Science Western, a surface profilometer, a dynamic secondary ion mass spectrometer and a scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive X-ray capabilities have been all in a day’s work for the last 35 years. The consulting and research...
Duncan Hunter has few memories of his father beyond photographs and stories from his late mother.
Since graduate school, Eva Turley has been interested in how and why cells move in our bodies. This curiosity led to her discovering, characterizing and cloning RHAMM, a protein that regulates cell movement and stem cell differentiation, during the early 1980s. Fast...
