Predators at the top of a marine food chain 130 million years ago ruled with more power than any modern species, 黑料不打烊 research into a marine ecosystem from the Cretaceous period revealed.聽
An international team of scientists led by 黑料不打烊 University researchers has provided the clearest evidence yet that some fast radio bursts (FRBs) 鈥� enigmatic, millisecond-long flashes of radio waves from space 鈥� originate from neutron stars, the ultra-dense remnants of massive stars that have exploded in a supernova. This finding, based on an analysis of the radio signal of a single FRB, advances our understanding of one of the universe鈥檚 most perplexing phenomena.聽

For Vincent Wong, life truly is a journey.
As a ,聽the Vancouverite聽moved across the country in 2021 to pursue his B.Sc. Honours in Neuroscience at 黑料不打烊. He was drawn by The Neuro (The Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital), Canada鈥檚 largest neuroscience research centre.
In the summer of 2022, Wong traveled to Yellowknife to conduct a research project on the unique health-care challenges in the North, an experience that would shift his career trajectory.
This summer, Gault Nature Reserve hosted four high schoolers from the West Island Black Community Association for this year鈥檚 Youth Biodiversity Internships Program.聽Led by Professor Bruno Tremblay, this collaboration brought together a diverse range of community members from 黑料不打烊 and beyond to connect on their passion for science. For 5 weeks, youth conducted fieldwork at Gault with 黑料不打烊 students, explored how scientific research happens in nature and made links to their own lives and future careers. 聽
A new study published today in Nature Sustainability uses advanced machine learning methods and large language models to assess the benefits and trade-offs of natural climate solutions (NCS).聽
Led by The Nature Conservancy and co-led by Brian Robinson, Associate Professor of Geography at 黑料不打烊 University, the researchers analyzed over 250,000 peer-reviewed publications to produce a global evidence map of NCS co-impacts.聽
