‘Because of COVID’: Western experts weigh in on two years of pandemic
Lessons learned and lessons to learn as ‘new normal’ sets in
Bell-Western 5G network enabling solutions to real-world challenges
Researchers test-drive super-speed connectivity through 8 innovative projects
Student estimates real-time pandemic death rates with cremation data
Gemma Postill is helping fill the information gap by providing data to Ontario’s Chief Coroner.
5G network opens new avenues for research and student support
The super-fast, smart network enables new research and can help students thrive at Western.
Digital tool assesses privacy and effectiveness of contact tracing apps
A new tool developed by a team of Western University computer scientists performs a digital deep dive on the near-endless stream of contact tracing (CT) mobile apps currently available on the market to evaluate their effectiveness and, more importantly for most, their privacy thresholds.
Study uses Twitter to reveal our mental-health state
A Western-led international research team hopes that tweet you just posted will provide insights into our collective mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Student business steps up to cover up Canada
Wearing a protective mask in public has become a necessary new normal, but one Western student has noticed not everyone is on board.
New site helps data tell COVID-19 story in real time
There were rich sources of information on COVID-19 out there. But while all that data had plenty to say about the times we are living in, it still took Grace Yi and her colleagues to help tell its story.
Future signaled in combined PhD candidacy
Jacqueline Keuper, MSC’17, did not intend to be a pioneer. But the more she thought about the possibilities, the more she realized becoming Western’s first combined PhD candidate made sense.
Researchers crack COVID-19 genome signature
Using machine learning, a team of Western computer scientists and biologists have identified an underlying genomic signature for 29 different COVID-19 DNA sequences.
Musical puts mental-health struggles on stage
For a pair of Western alumni, starting a conversation about mental health is something to sing about. Thalia Ranjbar, BA’19 (Kinesiology), and Jake Schindler, BMus’18, BSc’19 (Computer Science), hope to shine a light on mental health with the staging of Where Do We...
Six Western projects earn CFI backing
From hearing loss and brain activity, to cancer and joints, to sustainable energy and social cues, six Western-led projects, involving 10 researchers within four faculties, received more than $1 million through the CFI John R. Evans Leaders Fund.
