The McCall MacBain Foundation has announced the thirty students from 10 countries who will form its first cohort of global scholars at McGill University, arriving in September 2023. Among them are four students who will be pursuing degrees in the Faculty of Science.
On le sait désormais : la préservation de l’environnement ne s’arrête pas à la simple réduction des émissions de carbone dans l’atmosphère. Grâce, notamment, à la tenue de la Conférence de l’ONU sur la biodiversité (COP15) à Montréal en décembre 2022, l’importance de la protection de la biodiversité est aujourd’hui bien présente dans l’actualité. Pour des chercheurs comme Andrew Gonzalez, professeur de biologie à l’Université McGill, il était plus que temps.
The reports from the testing done during the February 2023 closure of the Stewart Biology Building are now available online. You will find the reports on the Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) website. We will continue to post the results from the monthly air tests undertaken since the reopening.
At the recent COP 15 conference in Montreal, Canada committed to protecting 30% of its land by 2030, but which areas are most crucial to protect for at-risk species such as the spotted turtles?
In a new study published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, McGill University researchers overlayed maps of species at risk to find hotspots where many species live together. They found that hotspots often overlap.
Teens in North America are spending several hours per day on screens, and there’s growing concern over how social media may affect their mental health.
Le programme SciLearn du Bureau de l’enseignement des sciences (Office of Science Education) à l’université McGill a été mis en vedette lors du dernier épisode de Les années lumière sur Radio-Canada:
Depuis quelques années, les nouveaux étudiants en science de l'université McGill se voient offrir des stratégies d'apprentissage tirées directement de la recherche en neuroscience.
For the first time, scientists produce an organic molecule that mimics melanin’s essential properties
The results are in for the 2023 Principal’s Prize for Public Engagement through Media and STEMM Diversity@McGill is among the runners-up recognized in the Group category.
The Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS) has selected Professor Johanna Nešlehová as the 28th recipient of the Krieger-Nelson Prize. This award, established in 1995, recognizes outstanding contributions to research by a woman or female-identifying mathematician working in Canada.
McGill community comes together to celebrate the research of over 100 undergraduate students from the Faculty of Science and beyond in an annual event organized by the Office of Science Education.
The ongoing dialogue between science and faith will be the focus of two upcoming events hosted by the School of Religious Studies. Set to take place on March 26th and 27th, the events will include a lecture from Brother Guy Consolmagno, S.J., Director of the Vatican Observatory, and a panel discussion featuring scholars from diverse academic and faith backgrounds.
The McGill Sustainability Systems Initiative (MSSI) has announced the results of its latest Ideas Fund competition. The Ideas Fund awards seed funding to projects led by McGill researchers, enabling them to pursue high-risk, high-reward projects in sustainability research.
Worried about the climate crisis? Want to learn about climate change from experts and explore what you can do about it?
McGill has a course for you.
The primary goal of FSCI198: Climate Crisis and Climate Actions is to enable students to find enough hope to want to engage with the climate crisis.
When Professor Sebastien Breau of the Department of Geography (far left) first joined the 50s hockey team back in 2010, Vincent (second from left) was only seven years old. Now a first-year Statistics and Computer Science student at McGill, Vincent and his dad helped their team win the coveted intramurals ice hockey championship mug.
Although approaching professors to discuss research opportunities might seem daunting for undergraduate students, there’s an ingredient for success: soup!
