Most members of the McGill community know Chris Buddle as a professor, an entomologist, a researcher, or a McGill administrator. But Buddle is a man of many more talents, which you can read all about in a new McGill Reporter article.

On May 22, he will launch A Portrait of Astonishing Nature, a remarkable collection of original poetry and watercolour paintings that pay loving tribute to the plants and animals around us.

Zixuan Li received the McGill MedStar Award for her publication entitled “The Organophosphate Esters Used as Flame Retardants and Plasticizers Affect H295R Adrenal Cell Phenotypes and Functions”, in recognition of the excellent research carried out in the Faculty of Medicine at McGill University. The findings from this paper demonstrate that organophosphate esters have chemical-specific effects on cortisol and aldosterone production and thus the adrenal may be an important target for these endocrine-disrupting chemicals.

McGill's Library program (MISt) has risen from 8th in the world in 2023 to 6th in the world in 2024. McGill now rates in the global top 50 across all five faculty areas. 

"Library Information & Management also climbed up the table, moving from eighth in 2023, to sixth this year. Anatomy & Physiology holds steady in the seventh spot."

Congratulations to Tara Shomali, who received the prestigious Graduate Student Award from Parkinson Canada (2024-2026 cycle). This is a competitive 2-yr $40,000 award given to only 7 outstanding doctoral trainees doing research on Parkinson’s disease across Canada. This will help Tara works towards developing compounds targeting PINK1, a kinase implicated in early-onset familial Parkinson’s.
