Olivia Lutfallah was looking for a pastime outside of school. What she found was a captive audience, and a caring community, eager to learn more about living with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It all started last March when the biol …
Ami Patel and Saniya Mansuri go way back. The two have known each other since their preschool days and have mirrored one another’s academic footsteps from day one - arriving at Western as roommates three years ago to study Biology and Medical Sciences. And for some...
By analyzing the ‘chemical fingerprints’ in the wings of monarch butterflies, one Western researcher has helped pinpoint the North American birthplaces of the migratory creatures, vital information that may help conserve the dwindling species.
Long before Tim Hain, BSc’04, PhD’16 (Biology), completed his dissertation, his work was gaining considerable traction. Hain successfully defended his PhD dissertation in December 2016. Four months earlier he had published four papers in peer-reviewed journals, which...
Jasmine Wang remembers the day in Grade 8, back home in Alberta, when she saw her local Tim Hortons toss out a box of perfectly good donuts. “It shocked me. I was taken aback,” said Wang, a first-year Computer Science and Arts & Humanities student. “Why isn’t that...
Hundreds upon hundreds of professors, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students from across the country, including dozens at Western, are calling on the federal government to reassess its regulatory decision-making processes concerning environmental assessments. They...
Some of the world’s biggest problems can be solved by the smallest of solutions. At least that’s what first-year Integrated Sciences student Devanshi Shukla proved when she bioengineered a simple bacterium to detect and alert to the presence of invisible fungal...
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.
Today’s graduates are stepping out into a world where the economic landscape seemingly has more problems than solutions – a world in which graduates will play an important role in advancing growth for the future.
Prepositions and conjunctions – seemingly small and humble words – play a significant role in language and communication, said renowned literary critic and editor Christopher Ricks.
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...
Taking a year away from university studies is a big decision. Some see it as a refreshing reprieve from academia and an excellent opportunity to gain experience. Others argue it is an unnecessary delay from school and graduation. My sentiments once fell into the...
