From hailstones to holoportation, symphonies to space discoveries, this year saw countless compelling stories of outstanding achievements and breakthroughs by Western faculty, staff and students. As we look back on 2022, we take just a few of those stor …
Join Western as it celebrates its fourth annual Asteroid Day from 5:30-11 p.m. Saturday. Geosciences Collection Curator Alysha McNeil will be in attendance to inspect potential meteorites.
Efforts to look deeper into classroom learning styles and farther into the cosmos have been lauded with a Fellowship in Teaching Innovation, the Western Centre for Teaching and Learning announced today.
When Robert Cockcroft looks up, he knows he is not alone in doing so. “Everyone has access to the sky.”
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 oncoming swarm of meteors – one blamed for perhaps the most famed Earth encounter since the time of the dinosaurs – may statistically pose a more immediate risk for Earth and its inhabitants than previously believed.
Nigmendra Narain (Political Science), Philip King (DAN Department of Management & Organizational Studies), Scott Loveland (Ivey Business School) and Mark Baker (Physics and Astronomy) were honoured with the University Student’s Council (USC) Award of Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching
Physics and Astronomy professor Jan Cami was recently awarded the 2019 Qilak Award for Astronomy Communications, Public Education and Research for his work in keeping Canadian eyes on the stars – and other celestial bodies, the Canadian Astronomical Society announced recently.
Generating a better understanding on everything from meteorites, autism and heart disease drug, to asthma and air pollutants, Western researchers are sharing in more than $1 million in funding from the federal Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) John R. Evans Leaders Fund (JELF).
LONGUEUIL, Quebec – Physics and Astronomy professor Sarah Gallagher has been named the first Science Advisor to the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), Navdeep Bains, Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development, announced today.
If you hit the road with Sarah Gallagher, you need to understand that you’ll be dedicating a shockingly large chunk of your brain to the lyrics of 80’s pop songs. But it is totally worth it.
While flat-Earthers continue to debate even the remote possibility that our world is spherical, new research shows the human brain is actually better understood in 2D rather than 3D.
For at least a million years, an asteroid orbiting the ‘wrong’ way around the sun has been playing a cosmic game of chicken with Jupiter and about 6,000 other asteroids sharing the giant planet’s space, according to a report published in the latest issue of Nature....
