Twenty years ago, a powerful speech inspired a small group of Western faculty and staff to find a way to help communities facing a staggering HIV/AIDS crisis on the other side of the globe. Building on the work of Western researchers, the group connecte …
The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the National Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) have awarded a pair of Western research groups with Collaborative Health Research Projects operating grants.
Misha Donskov, MA’11 (Kinesiology), rolled the dice on a franchise that did not exist – no nickname, no uniform and, to most observers, no chance. But that gamble is paying off today as his Las Vegas Golden Knights are a handful of wins away from a Staley Cup in its inaugural season.
The Health Care Challenge is a student competition run by the Health Studies Students’ Association (HSSA) where Health Sciences students – in tandem with students from Psychology, Geography, BMOS and Ivey Business School – present proposals about building a resilient...
While deaths from cyclist-motorist collisions are relatively rare, nearly half of them can be attributed to driver fault and following too closely, according to Western researchers. “The most important takeaway is 43 per cent of cyclists that were killed were hit from...
Four professors are the latest recipients of Distinguished University Professorships (DUP) awards, recognized for exceptional scholarly careers.
Eighteen winners, representing five different faculties, have been awarded Western’s highest honours for inspiring active and deep learning. This year’s winners join a company of teachers nearly a quarter-century strong.
Ground-breaking work by Western researchers may soon help golfers with arthritis get a better grip on playing with less pain and more control.
Read. Watch. Listen. introduces you the personal side of our faculty, staff and alumni.
In its fourth year, The Health Care Challenge – a student competition run by the Health Studies Students’ Association (HSSA) – is gearing up to tackle the issue of resiliency in health-care systems. On Saturday, students from the Faculty of Health Sciences – in tandem...
When you talk about the Russian doping scandal, it is a mistake to insist on speaking solely about the 2014 Sochi Olympics. That is, when the KGB – now named the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB) – worked to allow dirty athletes to compete by...
Lorie Donelle knows we are becoming increasingly dependent on modern technologies. She doesn’t want to constrain those uses – she wants to understand and maximize their benefits to improve health care.
Most professors collect research data from within the friendly confines of their labs; many also collaborate with another institution or a few colleagues. But when Dave Walton talks about his most recent academic project, he’s talking about a much more ambitious...
