阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 researchers are receiving more than $1.6 million from the natural sciences and engineering research council of canada (nserc) in support of 14 faculty research projects and four graduate student awards.

researchers will use this funding to explore new ways to diagnose breast cancer, to understand how habitat selection affects animals, and to create unique tools that companies will use to understand how people consume electricity.

dr. alla reznik from the department of physics is receiving a two-year idea to innovation (i2i) grant of $320,000 to continue exploring positron emission mammography technology, which will help identify cancer earlier.

radialis medical, a joint venture between 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 and the thunder bay regional health research institute, will help commercialize this innovative technology and assemble the first canadian molecular breast imaging system in thunder bay.

dr. douglas morris from the department of biology is receiving a five-year discovery grant of $160,000 to learn more about animal habitats and the impact those habitats may have on biodiversity and the risk of extinction.

dr. morris and his team will examine how habitat and foraging behaviour can create new species and enable coexistence of competing species. they are also interested in how habitat can predict the consequences of climate change on biodiversity and reduce the risks of extinction.

dr. abdulsalam yassine from the department of software engineering is receiving a five-year discovery grant of $90,000 to develop new tools that will allow utility companies to understand how people consume energy so they can offer optimized energy recommendations and programs.

this will help society by reducing green-house-gas emissions.

dr. andrew p. dean said he is proud of the exceptional research and innovation happening at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 .

“thank you to nserc for recognizing the important research being conducted at lakehead and thank you to all of our dedicated researchers for everything you do,” dr. dean said.

funding from nserc also generates support from the federal research support fund to offset the indirect costs of research incurred by universities. in 2018/19, 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 will receive nearly $2 million in assistance from the research support fund to support the indirect costs of research, which includes costs for supporting the management of intellectual property, research and administration, ethics and regulatory compliance, research resources, and research facilities.

open your eyes to the worlds of moss and lichen during 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 ’s next two fall ontario master naturalist program workshops, running october 20 and 21 at the orillia campus.

these introductory workshops, conducted by tristan knight from terrastory environmental consulting, and bob bowles, coordinator of the ontario master naturalist program, are open to everyone and are designed as special interest sessions for naturalists.

“mosses and lichen are fascinating, and many people don’t know enough about them” said bowles. “the combination of classroom discussion and fieldwork will really help naturalists understand how central these organisms are to our ecosystem.”

during saturday’s “magnificent mosses” workshop, participants will learn about the life cycle of bryophytes in comparison to that of vascular plants, and discuss the ecological requirements of these understudied species. they’ll also touch on incorporating mosses into landscaping.  in sunday’s session on “lichens and the land” participants will focus on the species of lichen that grow primarily on trees, rocks, and tombstones.

these workshops will open up a whole new world; afterwards you’ll be noticing and recording your encounters with these species in all types of habitat.

pre-registration is required. the fee is $79 (plus hst) per workshop. for program details, and to register online go to: www.hsbcwebinars.com/about/orillia-campus/community-programs/omnp/workshops

seed diversity is the foundation of vibrant, healthy food systems. every year nature brings new challenges to the people who grow food. usc canada is part of a global movement fighting for justice, health and sustainability by shifting the way we grow our food. this starts with seeds.

october 4, 2018 – thunder bay, on

dr. charles levkoe, the canada research chair in sustainable food systems from 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 , and other experts have released a special issue of the canadian food studies/la revue canadienne des études sur l’alimentation journal addressing the federal government’s soon to be released food policy for canada.

dr. levkoe is an assistant professor in health sciences at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 and a member of the canadian association of food studies, which released an open letter to the canadian food policy community along with 16 research articles that add to the conversation surrounding the creation of a national food policy in canada.

“a national food policy is not a new concept,” wrote co-editors levkoe, dr. peter andrée from carleton university and dr. amanda wilson from saint paul university in the introductory article.

“work towards a food policy for canada emerged from decades of work by civil society actors, social movements, governments and businesses. while there has not been agreement on all aspects of what a national food policy should look like, there is consensus that the dominant food system is not working for many canadians,” the co-editors wrote.

“our interests in the development of canada’s national food policy . . . come from a recognition of the need for better coordination of existing food-related policies and programs distributed among different federal departments and agencies, as well as other jurisdictions. existing policies tend to work in isolation from one another and some in contradiction, leading to even more complex challenges.

“we are very happy to see the government of canada’s commitment to develop a food policy that ‘will set a long-term vision for the health, environmental, social, and economic goals related to food, while identifying actions we can take in the short-term.’”

the 16 articles reflect on earlier food policy efforts as far back as 1977; highlight the shifts and challenges facing food provisioning in northwestern ontario to emphasize the importance of contextual, place-based food policy; and argue that food sovereignty must be a prerequisite to the promotion of food security, health and wellbeing and safe food for all canadians, and discuss other important issues and concerns that the federal government should consider surrounding food.

you can view the open access special issue here.

photo by the royal canadian mint

september 10, 2018 – thunder bay, on

a fourth-year visual arts student at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 says it feels incredible to have designed one side of a new coin for the royal canadian mint.

the royal canadian mint asked mary mcpherson to participate in the design process for the new coin.                                                             

she was thrilled when the mint chose her image of tecumseh, a legendary shawnee war leader who allied himself with the british and heroically led hundreds of first nations warriors into battle at such places as fort meigs and most famously, detroit.

released on tuesday, sept. 4, the new coin recognizes the 250^th anniversary of tecumseh’s birth.

“it feels incredibly different than the work that i usually produce,” said mcpherson, who is ojibway and a member of couchiching first nation.

“i’ve never had an artistic experience quite like this one. i feel extremely grateful to have had the honour of drawing tecumseh and having the design immortalized on a coin.”

mcpherson said she learned a lot during the process.

“what i particularly realized throughout the duration of this project was how tecumseh had, according to dickason and newbigging, ‘sided with the british, not because he liked them particularly but because he saw them as the lesser of two evils,’” she said.

“tecumseh fought for the wellbeing and independence of his people. he had also united indigenous nations, in resistance to a divide-and-conquer mentality, while maintaining the essential notion that the land was to be shared among all peoples and was not something to be owned.”

the mm on the right side of the coin represents mcpherson’s initials. mcpherson said her 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 education helped her immensely with this process.

“through visual arts and indigenous learning, i was able to improve my drawing skills, research skills, and time management skills, which aided me in completing this project.”
